I Broke My Beowulf...

All that smoke...

If she's been damaged long enoguh to no longer be glowing from the laser hits, she'd have vented the opened compartments to vacuum long since.

If she's freshly damaged, the smoke should be looking more pencil-like, and less cloud-like, and the other hits hsould probably be tinged with red glows.

Picky bugger.


I like it! Thanks for the new wallpaper!

But we just *patched* that damage!

Wait 'till we try re-entry with no powerplant, and jury-rigged hull patches... Andrew may need to add an ocean background and a lot of re-entry damage

While Aramis is correct (smoke can't be "blown back by the wind" in space) I think that showing "real" damage effects would likely look wrong to your "typical" (raised in atmosphere and a gravity field) Traveller player.

33% extra! Now with added glowing bits!

Contrast is still low... but yeah...

Here's a compromise idea on the venting... it should be either coming straight out (up from the turret, starbord from the engines...) or at an angle based upon the accelleration of the ship...

Ahh! The interstellar corsair summoning ritual.

Mayday........Mayday.......
This is the starship beowulf, we have drive damage.
Can anyone hear us?
Mayday........Mayday.........

A few more tweaks...

The gas cloud could vary enormously, depending on the pressure of the gas (or liquid), the size and position of the hole, and the motion of the ship.

Admit it, Andrew...........

You simply left the kettle on the gas ring, didn't you?............

When your drives are gone and you're full of holes, you'll feel much better after a nice cup of tea

Typical Englishman. World collapsing around his ears and still has time for tea!
