Are the nial guns real beams or just something that looks like it?

It's a truespace render, you're not seeing all the nebulae, but yes they are the v1 nebulae with starfeidls added. the ring is a lighting effect - a halo

Nice pic, but there is no "right feeling" on these Nial guns. But anyway, it's a good pic.

A tad overdone if you ask me. But not too bad.

Rings around the sun in FS2 would definately look much cooler.

Well...I was thinking that just using the sun glow bitmap that is overlayed on the sun would work nicely too.

Rings around the suns in FS2 is no problem , but they would be static.

Damn, why didn't they make lans flare? It is a VERY old effect... Well, I'll allow it with EMBM if the source is released . No, I think the hope is dead. Anyone thought of buying it? $10 each one in this forun and we might be able to buy those four million lines of text . Ha, ha. Damn I'm funny.
