Even momentary interruptions to Zenith power supply could create beautiful meteor storms.

This just requires an addition of the sound and two-three lines of Lua

2. Have actual animations for the state changes. For Desolator and Lucifer, the armor state could be used to convey this instead. I don't think armored superturrets are practical anyway. Cerberus, Bertha and up will require more involving changes.

3. Have the models go dark when unpowered. Shader their emissives black (and conversely, pulse them when active). Withhold any particle emission when dark. This is a bit more involved than just doing a sound, but much less involved than creating proper animations.

Overall i think 1&3 could be practical and sufficient.

@Licho also wanted power grid to be drawn as actual cables on the terrain. That'd be great. Especially if wires could be destroyed separately; however, that's a fairly massive design change and a decent amount of work.
