I was just curious because, I ran across this picture.

(did not link it so you have to copy it into your address bar)

I'm not asking to completely rip the pictures and put them in vegastrike but, make weapon types similar to this.

Yes, actually. I've seen this type of texture used in /textures/weapons/, although only front and side views are used.

As the dude that made both the VS and the Pioneer weapons sprites - or at least some of the VS ones - they were made in a very similar fasion. The main difference is that the way the sprite models are set up in Pioneer is a fair bit more complex. (i'm basically just using more planes to create the bolt shape - it gives it a better feeling of volume that way) I believe that the original VS bolt was around 32 polys - the new version is over twice that. Anyhow, just an FYI.
