Specificly, NPC Ships no longer explode when destroyed but simply turn into a wreck..
I Wanna see big firework style explosions, shockwaves and chunks of debries flying out when i blow a ship up.

Is this something that is gonna get fixed / made awaresome again like the new nebulas and all the other graphics revamps?

What say the?Cool

There's always been an issue with things exploding/not exploding, especially with things like Starbases, sometimes you get the explosion and other times you get nothing and the wreck just appears.

Mine explode. Might be a graphics setting.......any "effects" turned off?


Now that I look there is a "ship explosions" setting under effects.

Rather than a 'ship explosions' checkbox, I want a slider bar.

I also want the slider bar to go to 11.

I especially enjoy torpedoes.

Make sure "Ship Explosions" is checked. You can find it under Effects in Display & Graphics.

I, too, want a setting where my ship never explodes.


What? Graphics setting? Never mind then…

I've noticed the problem with the explosion not appearing only in dust/gas/whatever-clouds, but vision is generally very distorted there.

I just usually slap the ship I am fighting so also not seeing any explosions.

maybe ccp should go back and redo ALL explosions.

I for one would love to see space start to collasp around a titan when its reactors lite off.

Explosions are off by default by the looks of it... more fireworks now :)

Tell me what system you're in. I'll come over and we'll test this theory.
