Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
The more I play and get in to battles, the more I think this is an issue.
The battles feel a little less exciting and I think it's because of the lack of effects.
I really don't want to use the word stale, but...

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
yes.. killing ships just feels like iam cooking them, and not causing them to explode... but maybe we do this these days with our weapons. just a short "puff" and than a charred wreacked ship hits my hull and bounces off.
Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
Fire after fire in to a larger ship equates to not much in the way of visual feedback. That really does drain the fun out of battles.
I think fighters have smoke trails when heavily damaged, which is nice, but we need to see bigger ships with fires, smoke, mini-explosions, visual failures, etc. etc.
Rebirth really did do that well and hopefully it can be cherry picked for these parts (explosions and effects).
Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
yeah, for the bigger ships, but in X4 it kind of allways feels the same? no difference if i destroy a giant station , a XL ship or a S ship. Even the Moduls of a XL ship/station feel... boring ... to kill.bl3ek wrote: ↑Tue, 18. Dec 18, 17:52Fire after fire in to a larger ship equates to not much in the way of visual feedback.

But yeah, at least the S ships have smoke trails, wich is funny.
Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
After destroying a Xenon I i hit my trusters to get to a safe zone to not get hit by the blast, which was a bit disappointing since there was none so please devs if you could make it a bit shiny

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
This assets from rebirth explosions are in the game (there is a mod that brings them back, at least for L ships) so I hope its not that they left them there bc devs "lazy" rather they will implement them back after performance is flashed out
Fixed ships getting spawned away from ship configuration menu at resupply ships from automatically getting deployables.
Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
I can't speak for Egosoft (obviously), but it's most likely that the new explosion effects were created for long term purpose and are here to stay.
Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
I would like to see a little more realism personally. An explosion in space should be more about the air/gas in the ship with bulkheads blowing out than a fireball. Fireballs would be brief and soundless but alot of debris being blow out. Although a true ship blowout in space would be very brief and visually uninspiring for a more entertaining option it could happen slower in multiple locations. I think it would be perfect if the ship with hull damage would show it visually along with air leaking from the hull of a still working ship.

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
i agree the game is lack of Explosions weapons sound effects animations effect and this is a kickstarter game has 150% better effect what x4 has to offer ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUXJnueIiPs) steel cracking when capitals ships go down aka sinking ships ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxzdmLMKidM )

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
My favorite explosions are the ones from the Babylon 5 TV series.
Specifically, they factored in details like the color of the explosion being based on the race of the pilot and crew. Red-orange for oxygen breathers, green for methane breathers. Small ships tended to look like "normal" explosions as the atmosphere that allows combustion burst out in semi-random patterns as it snakes around the twisting metal of the ship that's breaking apart.
OTOH, big ships would explode in brilliant white globes of light, as their reactors went critical and created brief miniature suns that half melted the wreckage as the heat and hard radiation flooded outward.

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
I must say that best ship explosions (in overall design and FX) I saw were the exploding capships in Freespace 2:

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
here is the mod

if current explosions are here to stay that would be just sad

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
Well, what is collapsing is the reactor core, the leaving spaces in the interior of a big ship are just a little percentage compared to the big machinery and components of the whole ship, so explosions from the air/gas in the ship bulkheads are negligible.zebai wrote: ↑Wed, 30.

devastatingly disappointed with fighting in general in x4, rebirth had it somewhat right for a x gameNexuscrawler wrote: ↑Wed, 12. Dec 18, 20:14The space battles in X Rebirth looked really good, and the explosions as well.

Would be awesome to get them back.

I love good randomise detonations with secondary explosions of giant metal beasts- But I hate it when they vanish into completely nothing afterwards.
Do you mean vanish immediately or vanish after a while? I have a sector that I have taken out multiple K and a single I in near a gate over several incursion defenses (probably a dozen by now) but shortly after battle and I leave the sector, the wrecks despawn.

Why everything got scrapped for X4?
I don't get it...
Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
I would really like to know this as well. Any answer from Egosoft on this would be much appreciated!

Re: [FEEDBACK] Explosions
They should just copy paste X-rebirth explosions.
