Blackhole Erupter Animation?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have noticed that the Blackhole Erupter weapon has no animation, other than the target eventually exploding. The ships just fly around for a few seconds and then 1 explodes. I assume that this is because the weapon opens a blackhole on the ship. Seems pretty boring for a top end weapon tech, being a missile, shouldn't there be some kind of launching animation?

Really? I'm sure I've seen an animation before. If not, there's probably a mod floating about somewhere.

I have seen the animation. It causes a weird double funnel effect. Maybe it uses some graphical options that aren't available on your computer, so it just doesn't show up.

Can you post your debug.err file (in your galciv2 program folder)?

You should see an animation like Martimus described.
