More Realistic Crash Debris

[keahi]

Link for inspiration(just need to watch from 0:53 to 1:00):

Would be great if destroyed objects where replaced with N small bits of generic debris(pipe, shards, girder sections etc) such that when you landed to hard and you destroyed your engine,, you could see all the mess you made instead of it just disappearing. also would like to see less or no fire on parts that don't contain fuel.

Apologies if this has already been suggested.

*gasp*

LESS explosions? You must be new here.

I kid. Apparently damage effects are on the list of planned features, though I'm unsure if that means any great departure from the current everything-made-of-explodium crashes.

The other thing to think about is that the linked video is at least partly pre-rendered sequences where the computer has all the time in the world to draw each frame. I'm unsure as to what Take On Mars' crashes actually look like, but it's probably not as shiny as the video.

Damage effects are not destruction effects. Also note that wiki doesn't have any quote to support that, so it might be just as well pure imagination (that it'll be implemented) from whoever wrote it.
