Just aslong as they arent those panel around the waist models from GC I'll be happy... oh a lock on feature/tow feature would be neat ^^.

hmm maybe its just me but I think the explosions look really really cool... there is alot of black smoke, red and orange shiney stuff, and even a 'heat' wave that distorts the visuals around it. I love the space map explosions even more, its so much fun to see a TIE go POOOF or the Bulk Frieghter get torn up!

Explosions in FS imo = A+

PS: maybe its cause I have settings maxed out? (Except for AA which is at x2)

I think the emp grenades or whatever they are dont look great.

I dont know if you are running a system from the future or what, but I dont get the effects that you are explaining. I dont get a "heat" wave like you do. My explosions dont look that great...but what is this? I have all my settings maxed out as well.

I dunno dude, you may be remembering wrong or somthing-I dunno. The thing is, is that the explosions are the greatest, nor are the ones in space.

Re: I have a few comments on the fire/explosions/effects on FS

Okay so I went back to a dead server and checked out the explosions again. I will retract the flame statement and will agree that they could look better BUUT I still think their is a 'Heat Wave', its just hard to notice.

I was tossing around nades like mad and I couldn't replicatethe heat wave I remembered so I thought I was going crazy smile but then I equiped the rocket launcer and fired it at the Lambda on the day Tat map (Mos Entha I believe). The explosion definately warped the image of the lambda and also a Watch Tower that was far away too.

The key to seeing said warping effect is to be a good distance from explosion (25meters plus) and using a grenade/rocketlauncher/APM's not emps, medic nades, or det packs.

If you're in a AT-ST you can also see warping effect if you change camera view and fire the grenades and watch the explosion.


AT least this is what I see... I'm running on a 23" Widescreen Monitor with a fast refresh rate too...
