Very kind of you. How you mean “to match the 97SE,” though?
I really like both your and Dat’s current Alderaan explosions. Straight from using the 97SE to an embarrassment of riches.
I don’t loathe the Praxis ring, but what I don’t like is that every major explosion of a planetoid object in the OTSE has it. To me, one is fine but multiple gets weird. And personally, I feel the original Death Star explosion is the one to keep, since I’d feel a little weird going from the SE Battle of Yavin to the original explosion, though its probably just from conditioning.
I agree with the statement that the Death Star explosion should be the one that has the praxis ring as it has hones in the gravity of the situation, destroying the biggest evil thing in the galaxy. Having Alderaan have it first cheapens the effect and does add the monumental “oomph” the Death Star battle provides.
