I loved the new ships, until they exploded and just vanished in a nice little poof with a ring, but all the other ships from the original kinda crumbled then vanished... can that be done with the new ships? Or at least make the ships behave like from Xwing vs Tie Fighter in which they begin to explode (small explosions) before the final boom (Remove unit from the map), kinda like the fighters do just before they blow up.

The problem would of course be all the work. Also take note of the fact that pretty much all the ships have new models, so even when the Star Destroyer blows up the model is different if you pay close attention.

The best thing to do would be your latter suggestion, and I believe we are working on something like that.

Lol I remember my reaction when I saw a praetor explode the first time:

*poof*

"What the..."

Ignore it. Phoenix is working on it. I think we should make a general suggestion thread for things like this and sticky it so these things aren't brought up repeatedly.

Yeah, tons and tons of work just to slow the game down even further.

:facepalm:

Mine was the same, I was so excited about the death clone as the praetor reached low hull, I never though it wouldn't have one. Allthough watching a SSD go down easily makes up for it, even if it is just an enlarged vanilla death clone.

If someone in the community wants to work on death clones and can come up with something decent, I'd be happy to include it in the mod. We have the importer now, so you should be able to figure them out from the vanilla ones.
