I'd have to go with the second one. It has a much more "natural effect" llok to it.

2nd seems the best to me. Squares just don't look right in the 1st and 3rd is ok

I like the second one. The first one might look nifty on a Borg cube, and the third one I think suits organic ships better.

Thanks for all the feedback. Here is a screenshot of my latest shield hit effect.

It looks good where the bottom right ship aligns with the shield effect. However, at the upper left it just looks funky. Like it is cutting into the ship or something of that nature.

I agree that the newer one looks better than the first three. You might want to make the 'flare' effect a bit larger, though. Large enough that you can start to see a spheric curve to it. We expect shields to be a sphere around the ship.

I don't know, it looks nice, but it struck me as kinda bland.
