These have some really nice details... You're actually getting VERY good at this.

Hm, scientifically speaking... Plasma weapons could be really devastating, but they have some serious problems, the biggest one probably being the blooming. Have you thought about any counters to this problem? I recall at least Wikipedia having some information considering the subject.

thank you very much .

Blooming is a problem is all directed energy weapons when used in an athosphere. but it is less of a problem in a hard vacuum like space. the blue rings on the barrels are magnets that for the plasma in to a beam or bolt depending on range and target. The beam has the ability to cut thought ships but is shorter ranged than the bolt. also the superconducting side of the magnets helps to cool the barrels bue to the use of liquid helium.

Cool, are the lines on the image map or are they 3d?

no where near. theres a lot of bump map and texture trickis being used.
