Could star explosions be bigger? I was sorta disappointed after my terror star killed one

April 18, 2003 1:18 AM from

I was expecting some earth shattering kaboom type explosion, instead it looked like a tiny spark. I mean this is a SUN we are talking about. Could the explosion get remade and look awesome?

You'll see it get reworked when you see the entire graphics engine reworked. (read: Never)

There's a good chance the animations can be changed with a mod, but we're still waiting for Stardock to release the details.

I agree.

I mean, anyone who uses "earth-shattering kaboom" in everyday language can't be bad.

There is no air in space hence no kabooom! But the little spark . . . well thats silly. A super Nova (star explosion) should make night seem like day to near stars!

They're going to insert a cinematic within the expansion.

Umm...no cutscene, but definitely a bigger explosion.

I look forward to the cinematic.

I remember how really satisfying it was to watch the Stellar Converter cutscene in Moo2.

There was a cutscene? Hmmm... must reinstall moo2.

And btw, if they made the explosion realistic in size then you would always lose the terror star after using it

Are you sure thats not a starbase? I dont see a TS, nevertheless that would rock for both explosions.
