Jump tails

from Sins Forums


when ships jump only a few of them show the jump particles..i can get them to show up if i mouse over them..it would look alot better if they all showed them...or if it was an option to set the number of tails that are able to be shown at any one time

yeah ive seen the same thing happen, it might just be a minor bug, or lazy dev... *multi runs away to safety*

Something i think is really missing, is when they exit the phase jump, some graphics or animation is really needed.

I've seen this as well, and what it appears to be to me is that the drive trail increases in visibility with the size of the ship, i.e. cap ships' drive trails are seen further away than cruisers which are visible further than frigates. Also there is an option to change the drive trail detail and I think visibility in the options of the game, I think its Graphics but it might be Game.

There used to be one, but I think it's getting revamped.

i think when they exit phase space the trail should carry on, only for a bit. so when the ship exits the trail just starts to disperse and disappear. i think that will be cool
