With that, I would have to agree.. the plasma balls fired from turrets could use a similar makeover, IMO.Commander McLane wrote:But I can't help but think that the next thing in need of an optical makeover is the plasma sparks. They don't really hold up to the quality of the other effects anymore.

And it was served up very well done, no doubt..
It's not just well coordinated, either.. talk about precision.. not one of those beams misses the target.

Aye, it was impressive to watch. That precision take-down came towards the end of a fierce firefight - and I was thankful for the snapshot button on my 'stick.Diziet Sma wrote:It's not just well coordinated, either.. talk about precision.. not one of those beams misses the target.

This is without any changes being made to the
accuracy
entry in shipdata.plist. The next alpha release will make them more accurate and thir piloting skills greater (to combat the fact it's easier to take on a few of them in the previous release). Balance will also be restored so the Thargoids can give as good as they get! Desktop PC: CPU: Intel i7-4790K Quad Core 4.4GHz (Turbo-Charged) GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti RAM: 32GB DDR3

Though being CLASS_MILITARY they will get at least a positive accuracy value, which activates moderately improved aim and disables some of the actively unhelpful combat 'tactics'.Pleb wrote:This is without any changes being made to theaccuracy

A newly-commissioned Asp MK II, of Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy, out on shakedown patrol (its four Sidewinder wingmen are close astern of me):
Unlike the other night though, HIMSN took a right-royal slappin' in intergalactic space tonight - as an observer, scooping a few escape pods was all I could do.
