Smokey Engines are Smokey
I logged on for a bit to take a look at the new engine particle trails. I must say that they look a bit... billowy at the moment. Some of the engine models look okay, but on the EF capital ships in particular it just looks like the back end of the entire ship is on fire. I was thinking that it might just be that way for now as a work-in-progress, but I figured it worth asking about.

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
I'm not saying that they are not awesome (they are so awesome), but those engines look less high-tech and more low-tech combustion engine type...exhaust.

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
It is a really neat effect, but while it looks okay on some ships, others like on Diabolus's above look a bit too poofy. Maybe narrow the trail a bit?

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
It looks like infernal tempest engines or inferno type engine where a lot of fire is used for practically everything.

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
I agree, for example the Fission one is really epic. The ULT I use is a bit poofy though. Not saying it's not cool, because it looks EPIC.
Many kudos to whoever came up with this idea.

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
It's still a bit of a work in progress. We've now added a second engine trail type which is much more high tech, but even more of a work n progress.

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
They're a bit weird now.. I haven't checked many engines, but look at the ULT:

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
I like it Then again, i cant see it in real time, so it might look funny as it moves. Makes sense for the advanced version of an engine to be smaller and brighter, though.

Re: Smokey Engines are Smokey
