    Seriously.
    It looks like steam.
    It should be closer to black/dark gray, and also a little thicker.
    And more fiery, but I assume that's coming in time.

    Whole planet smashing effect being redone, and better craters, like the metal_boss biome for craters on metal planets please!

    I agree 100%. There needs to be a revamp to the planet smash effect as well as precise sound timing (sound plays right as the planet smash occurs).

    When I first saw the effect I thought it was pretty out of place compared to most of PA's effects. It's sort of rubbed off on me though, it looked nice in the trailer. But I still agree, it might be nice to darken it, add some yellows or something. I dunno.

    Doesn't that mean it should be black with blue accents/gradients?

    Seriously though, I agree. Though a planet hitting a planet is sure to give off a lot of bright light.

    (I know what he meant, this is a look of open judgement)
    (not really though I was just being dumb)

    Here's an example:

    Planet smash white smoke 69721.jpg

    It's from 69721, but it gets the point across well.

    ah, i see. but kinda off topic for a sec, they did redo the explosion effect and the aftermath of the effect, right? and it doesn't obliterate everything on the planet anymore (provided the commander isn't killed), only the area it effects?

    I was going to get a new screenshot of what you said, but the server lagged so hard, it kicked me out. :(

    I think it should look more like it does on the box art.

    I don't see the problem, looks quite realistic.
