I think there's a lot of work that could be done with lasers, but I have barely done anything with them and that's not what this thread is about.

We spent a bit of time tweaking the particles on projectiles for this last patch. What do you guys think of how it currently is? |

When the weapon impacts with its target there's no more small graphic that tells you it made contact. The weapon simply just disappears. Personally I liked the size of weapons before the patch. Fantastic job on controlling lag this patch by the way, I get non on large scale battles. |

I think that, in general, they look fantastic and much closer to C1, which is a definite plus. On an entirely different note, my capital lasers still look like carp. >.> |

My feedback: Magcannons: Better than c1. Don't touch them. At all. Pulse Guns: @ c1's level. Lasers: They are good, but they need a couple tweaks. 1; take away the stupid blurry stretchy thing that stays after the laser dissapears for a second. 2; In C1 when you fired a laser, there was this star-like thing that was at the point of firing on your ship. Bring those back. Get both of these done and you have C1 lasers. CALP Lasers: Haven't had a chance to see them. Healing beams: Nope, still missing the Ying-Yang thing from C1. |

Healing beams still need work, a lot in my opinion. |

For trans, try putting in a particle effect moving towards their ship. Blue spinning particles or something like that. Really give the impression that it's different from a laser. |

So any feed back on the impact graphic on weapons? Looks kind sloppy in my opinion. |

Return laser to what they were before patch, then for energy weapons make a setting for the giant balls of plasma from before and the sparkly dots now |

I love the balls of plasma, make a setting for them nao! >:D(or at least for torpedos and maybe some pulse guns) As for lasers, they looked fine before (not counting trans, as I dont pay attention to that), the little dots that rose from them were great. |
