I was referring to when they open. And there are a few sketches of them in the SC1 manual, if I recall correctly. They looked an awful lot like green versions of the Cacodemons from Doom. (Well, in the manual, they were black and white, but I would assume that they are green.)
There was a sketch in the SC manual, but as Kaelos recalls, they were more like short slugs, that looked like a Klingon's forehead, ringed with teeth and/or tentacles.. Allow Kaelos to see if he can't find his manual and hit you guys with a scan..
Also, that bubble demo was /serious/ awesome 
EDIT: Scanual ahoy, cap'n!

The buble look sweet, is that voxels or something like that?
But I think you have a dillema here. Should you make it look good, and do the bubbles slow, or should you make the bubbles fired like in the actuall game?
What do you think?

Sargon had it close, they're HyperVoxels.
The answers to those questions can be found in the last link of the first post.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

I like the animation on the bubbles, but I don't see them jittering around like they should. Would that be a tough change?

Thanks for all the advice. I am tight on time though.
RE: Bubbles - Yeah no problem.
RE: Graphic Patch - Given the resolution, I doubt a render would look better than the original graphics.

Storyboard! ~ Good god that's the best Idea yet! Since I'm mostly doing modeling and texturing right now; I have solid plans only for Mycon Spathi and Androsyn. Every other sequence is totally open. So...
1- Now accepting story board submissions for each ship description animation. Remember that each clip will only be 400 frames (That's 13.33 seconds) total. Frame 300, (10 seconds in) will be a pose for information overlay. The remaining 100 frames (3.33 seconds) will be the ending.
2- Mycon is done and over. Sorry
Mycon frame 300:

So we can suggest what another ship model might do? Well, if that's the case...
Here's one that I think would work well for the Mmrnhrm transformer: Transformer flies in quickly in Y-form, then transforms into X form. X form drifts through space for a while, turning around quickly while slowing down, and proceeds to fire off its lasers. It then turns back into its Y form, launches some missiles, and flies away.
