Visual effect of the Supernova cannon

Well considering that the SN projectile is probably the size of about ten people, and we take into the consideration that it's at least condensed enough to stay together, it's probably spewing out somewhere around 1800 pounds of anti-matter.

tbh I imagine it to only be a small amount of antimatter, the visual effect would be the stuff holding the antimatter into a ball, otherwise how the hell does a bomber create a gigantic ball of antimatter? I'd imagine it to be a tiny amount of antimatter

Wrong, the invariant mass is converted to kinetic energy and there is a photon release. That equals an explosion, if you didn't know.

Read the whole post instead of quoting one part of it.

In smaller-scale annihilation a flash of light is usually the product of the annihilation, but in bigger annihilations, like a big Supernova shot hitting a battleship, other forms of radiation are preferred, usually invisible to the human eye.

@original thread
I don't like the nukemine explosion, it's already used in the Nova torp, and I think it's a bit ugly.. the other two look awesome though. Where's that animation from?
Also, who's working on the faction-specific supernova? Seems kinda important to get that project merged with this one.

Small idea, is there any way to have a gigantic del Cid flash of light appear when you hit a target? Someone fires a supernova at a battleship, and theres a big flash?
