Re: Space Battle stuff

The space effects do need a little revamping, and some starfighter debris would indeed be nice.

I know there are plans to make all the capital ships have wreck meshes, as the Imperial freighter currently does.

Re: Space Battle stuff

Hehehe....Actually, I am extremely impressed with the explosion effects. I think they're beautiful. The capital ship explosions could perhaps have more debris, and I'm sure the developers are already fixing the engine glow not immediately disappearing. Other than that I have zero complaints regarding explosions and would give them a 10 out of 10. smile

Re: Space Battle stuff

Actually you know what, I take it back and would rather see NO debris whatsoever from fightercraft exploding.  It's just too satisfying to be going head on with a TIE, incinerate it, and to come out the other side of the explosion unscathed.

Anyway, that's how it was in the movies, unless there was a freak kill, like destroying one support pylon for a TIE's wings and having it spin out of control before exploding.

Fire requires oxygen.  The little fire you rarely see is caused by the oxygen in the cockpit.  Realistically, there would not be more than a very very minute amount of fire, if any.

Well star wars really isn't very realistic.  If we're going to stick with the movies the explosions were much bigger.

Re: Space Battle stuff

Well lets think, in rotj I recall seeing a blazing tie fighter spinning out of controll and crashing into the command deck of an ISD. Lol lets invent some physics and chemistry here, call it a... ehh.....hmmmmm.....radioactive plasma thingy resulting in fire and an explosion.
