3D Spark Effect

Novacron has brought up a nice idea: How about replacing the low resolution, 2D energy spark texture with sparks that were randomly placed in the 3D space of fuel centers? All I needed for this was an animated spark sprite which was kindly provided by -Joffa-. Implementing the effect was an easy task, and it even solved the problem that D2X-XL's repair centers had no equivalent effect to fuel centers: I just created a blue spark texture from the yellow one, and voilà - there was my repair center effect.

Here is a short video to show how good it looks:
