I would like to see the ship battle graphics effects show the results of
the weapons fire, reflecting damage done and damage defended.
It could be something simple like damage done causing a little red explosion
for each damage point and bigger explosions for 10 points.
Damage defended by shields could have a curved shield flicker in blue for each damage point
and flash brighter for 10 points.
Heavy damage done could also have a crunching sound.

The current battle graphics look pretty much the same
whether your winning or getting blasted, until a ship explodes.
The individual graphics effects look fine but don't tell a story.

If I build a superdreadnaught ship, I want to have a sense of titanic energies
striking my enemies or being stopped by my defenses.
This would look cool and be very satisfying.
I think it would be easy to put in.

What do you think?
