So after i got back to SS, i Sadly realized no matter what engine you use, your Engine Tail will always be the same depends what ship you are piloting.. (as far as i tested) .. this quite saddens me, Alot, most of the fun about engines is their different colors and shapes.. and i am sure most of you agree with me here, it makes you special, like, now every panther in game has same engine tail, and same color... Thats so Dull...

what i'm suggesting here, is just a little idea.. which are just items that you equip in your ship, simply change the color and the shape of your Engine Tail, and some are only locked to certain ships like the earthforce line ships, so at low Tech level you could only change the color of the Tail, at a higher tech you can buy different shapes, and glows, and even 2 colors at once or so..

It's just a part of specializing your ship, your character, your identity.. i don't want it now, neither soon.. i just want to give an idea of being special between people.. looking all the same is not fun.

Lion Thruster looks very different than a Qua Vazuk. I tested this with two panthers. Monk with Lion Thruster, and Seer with Qua Vazuk.

But the color is lacking.


And yes, that was a healing monk, not a travel monk.

That's not true at all. Different engines have different trails.

Actually there's a bug that doesn't update the engine graphic when you switch engines, for a while at least. But don't worry k-2, there are different graphics.

I must admit there is a lot to be desired when it comes to engines. For example in c1 I remember gasping in amazement the first time I saw someone using an anni thruster and the first thought was where the fuck can I get one. Now its just a tame (still large but not as large) engine. Hopefully someone will come and look at them and improve them eventually.

This is more a question of available resources than anything else.

I happen to agree that the smoke isn't very spacey (and breaks the laws of physics) ~ just a question of actually trawling through the 100's of engines + adding it.

It works fine for me if I switch to the engine, undock, dock, undock. Fixed.
