Dauntless Cruiser - Lance patern (WIP) image - Warhammer40k: Battlefleet Nexus mod for Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

So from what I remember, lances are the biggest commonly-carried beam weapons in Battlefleet Gothic. The ubiquitous "gun decks" on many ships are also said to occasionally include beam weapons, but I take it they're small enough that fire from the gun decks will only represented by BSG-style flak barrages from the BSG mod in this mod. In other words, only the beam weapons that are lances or separate enough to have their own rules in Battlefleet Gothic (like Eldar Brightlances, Tau Ion Cannons, etc.) will be represented by beam visuals in this mod, right?

Speaking of weapon visuals, it'll be interesting to see how you'll represent the energy weapons of Orks or Necrons (especially their famous particle whips)--I think the simplest way to do it would be to change the colours of the "Energy Skeeter" bolt from the vanilla game to green or yellow, to represent Necron Gauss weapons or Ork Zzaaappp! guns, respectively.

from a lance id like to see the hell a nova cannon does.. from teh fluff it seems like a crazy blue plasma ball.. atleast thats what i get from it.. but the broad side of a retribution class Battleship or a cruiser with gun battery broadsides should be sick if the FX are done right.

The-imperial-navy.deviantart.com website has some cool renders and drawing of ships for possibly your own custom ship models?

also hope we get to see animated lance turrets. and such..

from the demo of nexus i saw tons of room to really give BFG that justice.. the firing of the retro rockets to align the ship.. the amount of gunfire put out by 1 ship at a time.. alot of other games.. 1 weapons fires at a time, but this all weapons fire which is sick.. also when ships blow up.. perfect for the destruction of warships of 40k.. and small craft like the thunderbolt, or marauder, or thunderhawks etc look to be awesome... guaa!... so dam excited..
