New ship death animations

Mill Wilkinson:
Or the balloon ripping itself apart from the hull and flying to freedom in the high airs, where the oppression of little people and heavy burden won't torture it anymore.

Coldcurse:
can the ship fall out of the sky instead of blown into smithereens?

Sgt. Spoon:
oh yeah, I've always thought it would be quite awesome to have the ship just bursting into flames and smoke, and then head-long tip over forward as it falls to the ground. It would feel spectacular I bet, both from the crew and other ships around it. If the ship falls almost vertical in the end you'll have to try and land on some crate or rope as the whole thing tips over, or just jump of the ship as you're still going to die.

We discussed this waaay back in the old forums, and the main issue people could find was that it could possibly get quite preformance heavy with all those fire/smoke particles lasting for such a long duration as the ship needed to fall to the ground. You know, instead of just exploding and disappearing in seconds.

Moo:

If you've played FTL, you will have seen something along these lines far too many times. Something like that, with a lot of explosions occurring on the ship (it must have a lot of fuel and ammo on board, after all), then breaking apart... Balloon could maybe float down slower than hull parts...
But that might need some reasonable physics to work well. And would need someone to create it and the respective parts, rather than the strange self-destruct we have now.
But I like the current system anyway, even if it is a bit weird.

Boarchild:
Another cool thing would be the balloon collapsing and the ship hanging dangling by it spiralling to the ground :)
