Keldane:
Out of curiosity, how do these ships look next to the standard Nexus models? Any chance of a screenshot that shows one of each?

Arparso:
Sure:







The Fenris and Aeolus cruisers blend in rather well and are both about the size of a human destroyer in Nexus. However, the Orion class destroyer doesn't really look like anything else in Nexus, but easily outclasses both the human battleship and support ship in size.

Mularac:
I can't wait to see how the vasudan ships look ingame... those are among the best designs for spaceships I've ever seen.

DreamorCZ:
This looks really gorgeous, nice work.  I hope, we will see some public beta soon.

Arparso:
Has anyone succeeded in making a "weapon is chargin up" effect? Would be handy for those beam cannons. In fact, I actually did create such an effect, but with one big drawback: the damage is applied instantly, when the weapon's effect is just starting to play the charging animation. Not only the damage is applied too early - the game also displays the hit EFX and sound of the damaged ship much too early, which ruins the illusion somewhat.

Of course I could make it an instant beam, but seeing those beam cannons powering up was just such an epic moment in Freespace - I'd like to recreate that in Nexus as well. So any ideas?

My EFX code so far:
