BoP Torepdo Launcher [Aesthetic]

posted on November 19th, 2010, 2:18 pm

The thread about Torpedoes before mentioned the Klingon habit of lighting up Torpedo launchers, a habit that FO ones don't share, even TaQ'roja ones.

Could the TaQ'roja B'rel and K'Vort Class have a glowing yellow launcher with a red ring around it where the canon BoP does? Or just a glowing red launcher for the B'rel version.

Since it's possible to stick an animation upon firing (I think), maybe that's when it could be done

Any opinions not relating to post counts?

Well, personally would like to see it light up just when it fires

A constant dull glow, have it get bright when firing.

Prehaps have the light go out or all but out when weapons disabled.

^ And that should apply to all klingon ships with torps.

Lights out when damaged would fit with the damage effects that should be coming later. Disabled systems should still light up; they're unable to fire, but there should still be a system getting power.

If the power conduits were hit, that would disable the system and the lights, so maybe it could be a % chance whether lights are out too.

May be  have the weaponds launcher  effect ramp up and down in  lighting intensity  to simulate power fluctuations from full off to  full on. Like the  stobeing effect one gets  from a motorclcle lamp .

I love that idea.


Actually, prehaps expand that to all ships when damaged, have running lights strobe on/off and up/down in intensity, from no light, to several times as bright as they normaly would be.
