CCP recently made a multitude of explosion effects based on ship sizes, but what about between races. Shouldn't races have different explosions? This makes sense to me since each race uses a different reactor type. could a caldari graviton reactor create a mini black hole? I think that would be a cool effect. I'm sure area of effect ship explosions has already been discussed so I'm just asking whats your opinion about race specific graphics for the ship explosions?Question

I definitely like the notion. Makes me think of an episode of Babylon 5 where two "flies on the wall" are watching a battle outside, and one of them points at the viewscreen and says that "the red (?) ones are ours" (I forget which colour it was specifically - but you get the idea.) And yes, besides merely colour, other attributes could vary: explosion velocity, duration, density/intensity, how much physical debris is displaced (as opposed to being utterly vaporized/annihilated), etc.
