Very cool.  What happens when the bullet paths intersect?

No problem, it's the projectile's shockwave.

Very much so!

If only the background... err... don't know but in a way
it could be more mysterious. Maybe foggier, or darker?
Looks a bit flat the way it is.

That is such a cool knot-thing, so why are we all so excited to see it get
bombarded?  Don't know, but it is really impressive.  It begs for an entire
science-fiction/fantasy story.  The medieval floating knot-fortress zapped
by the invaders, killing young prince Somebody's family.  Now he must get
revenge on the technologically superior aliens, armed only with whatever
magic made the knot float in the first place....I suppose he should have a
winged-horse sidekick and a gorgeous babe girlfriend, too.

Nice, nice work.

I can't be the only one looking at the last two threads and thinking .oO 
"I want to see the ruined trefoil castle covered in ivy". :- )

I thought they looked like vapour trails left by a projectile. Yes very 
cool.

Just keeps getting more and more amazing.

Now, I'd like to see those energy beams made a bit larger, perhaps as
media-filled cylinders.

I'm not sure. The translations are added together, so probably just a bigger
wallop.

I do have in mind a scene with a bit more of a narrative. However, it will
probably take a bit of time to put together, so watch this space... I shall
post pretty developments as and when they occur!
