And again I picked a vessel from Beta3 to show you and demonstrate some apsects of the upcoming Fleet Operations Beta3. Today it's another Klingon vessel, which is buildable if you chose to support Martok as your Avatar. It's the LuSpet Class

Klingon LuSpet Class

The Klingon LuSpet Class is a heavy short-range Cruiser. It's very impressive shieldings allow a vessel of this type to sustain massive damage and protect the weaker long-range vessels of your fleet.
It is also equipped with a very special weapon: The cluster torpedo launcher. These unique projectiles brake through the enemy shielding and detonate within the hull of the targetted vessel. Now they explode in smaller explosives which cause additional hulldamage in the next seconds by damaging the interior.



Macromedia Shockwave required

Here you can see a few ingame screenshots of the LuSpet Class in action. You can also see a few of the new special effects like explosions, weapons and warpglow and some Federation vessels.




Note: The stats of this vessel may change until the release

Really cool stuff.  I really like the new explosions on the ships in the screenshots  

*drools*

Can't wait!!

Is that new Monsoon class in the second pic? Looks pretty cool.

nice.

this is the special weapon of the luspet class. this fire effects show the internal explosions caused by the cluster torpedos

yep, we have done new explosions for beta3. they now have a more realistic look (well at least i think so ) and there will be a glow effect after a ship exploded which will slowly fade away.. a bit like homeworld2 (a game with supreme explosions in my opinion)

will all this be graphically demanding
