Jazz up the Avalon weapon FX

They're relics from the ancient past and it shows.

The projectile looks like the same dinky triangle object as all the other missiles and rockets. The explosion textures seem to be the same as the Screamers only scaled up so their low res sticks out like a sore thumb, and their glow/trail is pretty unimpressive among the field of turret and blaster fire where they're usually employed.

Give them a fancy colored trail and an impressive blast effect that's representative of their damage potential!

You mean something like this?

Totally!

Actually, Devalons should have that.

Their damage potential sucks. Fix that first, then worry about the damn graphics. VO has been seriously over-focused on how things look lately, forgetting that a shitty Civic with chromed wipers is still a shitty Civic.

+1 to a nyan rocket

+1 to fixing weapon stats before weapon paint jobs. I think one of the advantages of the AV is that they do not have a trail... makes them harder to detect. And since they aren't actually being propelled, a trail doesn't make sense really.

But yeah, the blasts look like WH animations.

The WH animations look way better, actually. :(
