Disable weapon smoke for fp unit

[AlienDNA]

I think this one should be relatively easy. I always find it rather bothersome that when riding an intimidator myself taking potshots at my weakling opponent, that the smoke gets in my view, and I just see the plasma-bomb falling on the ground.

Would it be hard to change this? Like making all smoke-emissions from firing weapons invisible from the unit you are currently riding? So that the other player sees the smoke, and you see the smoke of alle the intimidators firing by themselves standing next to you, but just not your own, so you can finally see that bolt in it's gracious arc from the barrel till the enemy base.

I sorta agree here, smoke easilly gets to extremes in high damage units...it looks a bit odd...perhaps a way to limit smoke emitted? or remove it from FP mode view like Alien suggested?

I also want a way to increase muzzleflare size...for tanks and artillery...

I want to have multiple explosions with a different timeing. That means, that when for example a Building explodes, there are some small explosions but everyone in a different timedistance, like when first the ammunition explodes and then the reactor.. or so. Cool would be different colors too!

I agree with this, smoke levels should be set seperately from the amount of damage done - i would like to try out something like smoke grenades as a new feature. But this would only work if it actually had the effect of reducing line of sight for units inside the cloud. Being able to obscure a players units from even himself would open up some new strategies...

Any other thoughts on this?
