This is a second phaser barrage test that I did earlier this year of Commodore Decker's attack on the planet killer. Here's the first one:

As you can see, I've re-edited and somewhat extended the original soundtrack, but the cadence was a bit off and not quite what I was looking for. To see the nearly-finished product, go here:

AWESOME! You know I'm your biggest fan, buddy. lol

I hope the final version isn't quite as...rhythmic? Systematic? Maybe if the phasers fired in bursts of three ("pew pew pew") and then a longer pause before another barrage would work better from a pacing and dramatic standpoint. Just an idea...

@PromusKaa ASSUMING that I ever get back to this project, I'm almost certainly going to redo this scene, because I am slowly coming around to agreeing with this assessment (you're one of a chorus of folks who've made similar comments).

Needs more pew pew pew. :)

@mymyharlow Unfortunately, the Doomsday Machine already ate the star system. ;)

@PrfMoriarty Yeah, the timing and duration of the blasts should vary a bit, with longer and shorter blasts. Also, I think the beams need to have some sort of "burst" effect when they hit-- Not doing damage, but not looking like they just STOP, y'know? But looks great otherwise.

Direct hit!

It just bounced off?
