whoops. post got cut off. continuing...
Meanwhile, the Thalan are researching beam weapons and are using plasma. I smash their insectoid ships and conquer one of their planets, stealing the tech 'disruptors' from them.
Now, in TA, the terrans don't get disruptors, they just go right to doom ray from phasors.
But it's good to have strong beam weapons, so I bolt some disruptors onto a large hull and send 'em into the fray.
Now, the disruptor ships (I called the dising the osiris-class battleship, for those who care) went into battle with their lighter, torpedo armed bretheren. They attack a thalan fleet, and it goes something like htis.
Missile frigate; "Shwouuuumm....fwoomsh...pop"
Missile frigate: "Shwooouuuum....fwooomsh...pop"
Osiris Dreangouhgt: "SQUIDDLYFLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUiDDLYFLAM!!!!!!!....fwoomsh...pop"
Now, in case those automonopeia need to be interpreted, what I'm trying to say is that the disruptors sound WAY better (and look cooler, too) than any other weapon IN THE GAME. Now, it's not so much that the disruptors are so amazing (they kind of are), it's just that the other weapons could have some more 'zing' to them. Hopefully, it won't be a big thing to change, but for GalCiv3, I'd like to see the weapons have more graphical and audio punch.
