Prepare your eyes! Sins of a Solar Empire has not seen a good completely original dedicated particle mod since Bailknight's Graphical Mod, (Dynamic Explosions was a part of that, before anyone says anything) and I prepare to change that with my complete Particle Conversion mod intended for SoaSE: Rebellion. Because the mod will have a checksum of 0, it will be compatible with any mod that does not replace the Explosions.Explosiondata file.
Behold!
Drkrun's Particle ReForge for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion
It's a work in progress, but here is the second iteration, finishing off most of the Abilities, Buffs, CapitalAbilities, CapitalBuffs, and DamageEffects.
Ever onward!
Version 0.15

Gamefront decided to stop accepting my files :/ Mega it is!
Feel free to give feedback! Broken textures, laggy bits, etc.
Horrible looks, whatever.
Keep in mind that the over-arching goals of this mod are:
-Decrease lag on weapons and certain spammable abilities in large quantities
-Make the game look different but still cool
-Make ability effects more readable from a distance, fight-warping ones especially. (example: I hate the fact that the Rapture's Vengeance is impossible to see from a distance)
