There should be a shock-wave during an explosion or a collision. Especially, when the shock-wave goes beyond the camera, the camera should shake the screen to show effect :) ;D .
-
This would be a very annoying visual effect, it'd be okay in a cinematic mode in the options menu, but in the stock game it'd get rather annoying after a while :P

I see documentaries do this sort-of thing, especially 'How the universe works' .

Ohhhh! i thought you meant camera shake, do you mean like a visual shockwave of particles and whatnot? if that's the case it'd actually be pretty cool
-
I think this should work only when you are landed on a planet.

What about the time where the death star 2 exploded?
-
that was science fiction. this is a realistic simulator
-
I know ;) I'm just using it as an example
-
In reality there aren't shockwaves in space... at least not the 2-d rings you are thinking of. Those are caused by a spherical pressure wave moving through the air from the explosion. (the 2-d part is where it interacts with the ground or cloud layer, whatever you happen to be looking at)
Although there are come cosmic-scale shockwaves, such as something I remember but cant find a picture of, where a star is ploughing through a gas cloud and basically making an interstellar "sonic boom".
-
I think they're just talking about a cinematic effect, some sort of camera shake as if someone who was holding the camera was a little shaken by the collision. Would get a little annoying if you're simulating many bodies on-screen
-
Like I said earlier should only work on bodies you land on and should have option to toggle it
-
Although, people don't really land on bodies that much so the shockwave effect would be abit useless because it wouldnt be used much.
-
Just on a surface landing? C'mon, then it becomes way less cinematic and the whole fun of it goes kaphoot.
-
If there was ever a "Hollywood sound effects and visual effects" option the Shockwave shake should be in that tbh
-
I think there definantly be a setting that, when off, mutes sound in space unless you are on a planet and the source of the sound is on said planet, but when on adds sound and minor shockwave FX
-
What about stellar evolution(nova, supernova, hypernova)? They send shockwaves through space.
What about Planet/Moon/rock explosion? They do the same thing aswell.
-
(I wonder if they're going to add gravity toggle, so we can de-structure celestial objects with a bang? That would be awesome!)
-
You said something about how the universe works. Thats my favorite show :)
