Now it all makes sense... Thank you. It also probably explains why I became fed up with the already yellowish hubble images...

Ya, I'm still not 100% sold on the two just lightning ones. Perhaps with something non-crappy to overlay inside of lightning strikes? Time for me to take a step back though and let those ideas simmer for a time...

Now that's brilliant... Using the different races as a form of artillery... Perhaps something that taps into the Clone Bay. I can see it now, each race would have its own characteristics/impact effect. Some obvious, not sure about Human, Mantis or Slug. Perhaps Human is like a flak cannon that only effects shields?
You're really on to something there...
