The screenshots in these two pages would have had someone else drooling to give a contract for an arcade game in the 1980's...
Some people might not like the "haze" but solid-color effects could be boring and tire the eyes after a while. If it's a fast-moving projectile it doesn't have to be solid, does it? A bullet cannot be seen coming out of a gun, it just lands somewhere, hopefully not inside a person. Also outer space is not like the earth contained in an atmosphere which greatly slows everything down. Including all the alien-tech LOL.
Many years ago I saw a movie of aliens attacking. Toward the end, they suddenly stopped because supposedly bacteria and viruses affected them. It was sort of a sham but I had nothing else better to do that day.
