It's time for the bombs to get a visual effect, isn't it?
Notice that i didn't say that they should get a "new" effect, since they never had one actually.
And please don't make it be crap like the torp explosion is, make something cool like that black explosion in Quake III :))
(yeah it doesn't need to be black, just something cool like that one was).

What do you think?

I would rather not have the lag of a 30km wide explosion. I lag enough when a POS tower explodes which is only about 6km wide.

Seeing a Stealth Bomber Blob uncloak would give my computer a seizure.

There needs to be some changes to the code before they add more explosions, for some strange reason the draw way too much on the system resources when it happens.

If your PC can't handle it, turn your effects off?

As a logistic pilot I would love to see which part of my fleet (or which fleet) just got hit.

I would like to see them have the same torp effect except a little slower and obviously have it only go to 30kms. Maybe have it more like an explosion with some flames shooting out from the "ring"

But... why a RING?
It should be a sphere, all explesions should.

Oh and thanks for mentioning the pos explosion: that's even more crap -.-

Because a sphere would be pretty crazy on the server, especially with SB gangs running around

its an effect, which is 100% client side. server remains unchanged

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
