I have been testing beam weapon animations and corresponding offset values in the efx file.
I still need to figure out the damage animation.

I was using following 4-icon sprites in the test.

I have these 8 beam weapons sofar, 6 were displayed during the test.

1. Laser
2. Heavy Laser
3. Energy/Plasma
4. Electrical
5. Particle Beam
6. Pulse Weapon
7. Sustained Beam
8. Halo Rings

Somehow, looking at these unit graphics reminds me of *Dune* (1992). House Harkonnen and so on. Imperial troops...! https://www.google.com/search?tbnid=_WF ... AEYASABKAE

This game is where the genre originated. Dune is a timeless classic, by the way. I'm currently going to watch movies about it. I didn't have time before because I played the Dune series of games, and now relatively new movies have been released based on this universe. Is my imagination really accurate in how I pictured some of the scenes? But I'd be very happy if a Dune Panzer Corps mod appeared on my favorite game.

I'm slightly confused. Is the Korean War expanded to outer space?
