Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has released a new video showing off the game's new damage model, and it looks pretty impressive.

The new damage system will be less taxing on you computer and will distinguish between different types of weapons. The exact type of damage you'll see will actually be determined by four factors, the temperature, burn, thickness, and deformation of the ship's hull at the point of impact.

"Using these four damage values we can make the hull glow with heat, make paint burn and bubble, peel paint off to expose the underlying metal, dent and deform the surface, and even cut holes through the hull to expose the internal wiring and mechanics," Cloud Imperium Games said in a post on its website.

That still leaves more than a small handful of titles to compare on the Sega Genesis versus the Super Nintendo (carrying on the tradition set in our first issue). The question is, who built the better mouse trap?"
