Another old PDS image, as those in the know can tell by the fact that it has missile trails.

You know, you can make as many arguements as you want as to why the trails were removed by V7+. But at the end of the day, I feel that it lost a visual element that V6 had by the truckload. Oh sure, it was more realistic for missiles not to have trails, and sure it does save CPU power, but let's face it, the main reason that PDS7+ uses up so much more CPU power that vanilla HW2 is probably because some idiot decided to give EVERYTHING F*****G ION CANNONS*. I mean, I honestly don't think trails chewed up nearly as much processor power as that did.

Sigh. Still, heres a nice shot of the Tulwar PatCom frigate, a vessel that the PDS crew put in themselves.
It's one of the few vessels that has been remarkably unchanged since V7.

* Note: It's not that think that fighter grade Ion cannons on some things aren't a good idea you understand, I mean, there's nothing like that feeling of amazement as you see two squadrons of Avenger Heavy Strike Fighters take on and dispatch no less than 8 vagyr frigates in a single pass. But honestly, PDS7 gave them to everyone and everything.
Rant over.

that's fucking awesome...I should think of something to describe it; hopefully I remember to.
