Good to hear you people are diggin' this

The Ascension is actually the first ship for WoD that I only had a minor hand in realizing. Axem made the mesh, Sab0o did the textures. I only did the glowmaps and the rigging.
hell! How many turrets does that thing have?
50 (130 firing points)
I may be unfamiliar with this Sci-Fi genre, but while I do see lots of beams, I also see soft particles, weapon particle scripting, and possibly even engine heat distortion. My compliments on your inclusion of these cutting edge features. 
What, have you been living under a rock?

I mean, there here is a highlight for WoD right at this moment, the mod itself has been released for a year and people have been talking about it occasionally. How can you be a regular on HLP with 4000 posts and still be unfamiliar with it?

That aside, yes you have a keen eye. This was recorded with a hot out of the oven build by our grand wizard Valathil that has thruster heat distortion, Swifty's soft particles, post processing bloom with FXAA by The E. Along with the script made by m!m for those particle trail explosions.
