Something that's been mildly annoying me for a while has been that, while our LOD0s continue to improve in excellence, debris is often an afterthought. We all take shortcuts when we're getting burnt out on a model and debris chunks are one of the last items to be done, so it's totally understandable. But I'm hoping we can elevate these humble clumps of wreckage by, at least, giving them some ragged edges.
I've uploaded a proof-of-concept on Fenris_FS2.pof
HERE. If it's well-received I may give the other Terran ships the same treatment. On larger ships or where the debris chunks don't cover the entire ship, these ragged edges would be supplemented by modeled girders and superstructure (simple meshes with the Wireframe modifier applied.)
I'm only going to put in this effort if it's appreciated enough to go into the Media VPs, so please blow up a Fenris and tell me what you think. There's an easy target in the FS2 main campaign mission "Endgame".
