Hey Benoît. Those are all good ideas. The laser transparency I can 
adjust; it's a polygonal model scaled and rendered multiple times with 
additive blending, so it's more opaque at the center and less so around 
the edges. For the end boss, Gloire, its lasers are so large that you 
can fly inside them and their glow fills the screen...kinda 
crazy-looking until it kills you. :)

For the score and upgrade acquisition I can have the main OSD (on the 
right side) animate to reflect the state change so it's more 
noticeable/emphasized.

I actually do already have ship shadows, though they're pretty subtle. 
The closer the ship is to the ground the smaller and more opaque they 
become; the higher up the ship the larger and more transparent they 
become. I can make them more opaque/noticeable, though.

Thanks for the suggestions. Any input is appreciated!
