Subspace blaster - great visual effect

from GalCiv2 Forums
Everyone knows the Subspace Blaster is crap because it's bigger and does less damage than the tech before it, Disruptors III. But have any of you actually used them on a ship? The visual effect in the tactical screen rocks! No screenshot; my X-1 Frigate bit the dust before I thought to take one, so you'll have to find out for yourselves.

Does anybody know how to switch visual effects between weapons without modifying the xml files?

Just swap the appropriate models in Gfx\Weapons by renaming the files.

It's funny I had never used it until I had a game I stole the tech, and it was worth using.

I had the same expression...Wow that's cool... Too bad the weapons stats suck for general use...

I really miss the gc1 weapon graphic where it was like a triangle of death that just evaporated the enemy...

BTW, can someone mod in a wave motion gun?? That would be sweet...
