Explosions

Admittedly this isn't all that important but some where down the line it might be nice if there were more than one explosion animation. Especially for cappies. It would be pretty cool to see a series of smaller explosions travel along the length of a cappie before it booms completely.

Just an aesthetic suggestion, and not really needed immediately but it would still be cool.

btw the Hac has a speshul one where all its parts go flying in every direction. more of that would be cool

Heck yeah. The explosion for the HAC and larger capships are already pretty cool, but could be lots cooler.

The debris should stick around a while longer too. At the moment these huge station-sized pieces of capship disappear in a few seconds!

It occurs to me that a series of smaller explosions on cappies might be somewhat easy. Just before the ship actually explodes... the turrets could explode down the length of the ship. There is already an animation for exploding turrets.

more on explosion sounds than animation... the sound of a TU mine is about like that of a tiny prox mine going off... was rather sort of disappointing when i'd taken 'em out to test 'em and it was the same boom sound as many other things in the game... could make it "sound" like a nuke or something...
