shield effect test

An attempt at something better than the whole ship glowing when hit by weapons which got through shields but were reflected by armor. Plain white flashes didn't look right, and the idea is that the ships hull 'glows', but this isn't quite right.
It needs to be clear that it's not a shield, but an actual armor impact.

did you make that game, bro?

Are the little red glows on the hulls hull hits? If they are, perhaps make them flash bright white and fade to the red?

Also, maybe make the shield animation a bit faster. I feel that the effect is too long and people may be confused if two consecutive hits are made and they can't distinguish between them.

I guess each ship's shield appears when the ship is fired upon? Do different parts of the shields glow brighter if they are the focus of enemy fire?
