More time after everyone is annihilated for like explosions or maybe the asteriod impact and able to see the engines because when its not you're team who is killing you with an moon in your face u can't see engines or so and i can't see any effects.
Effects are being postponed until new graphics tech (post-processing, fxaa, and shaders) are added to make them looked polished and nice. They don't want to make another iteration on them till the tech is in place so they can toy around with the visuals full potential. Plus they are still working on fixing the manor mechanics from the beta patch.
