Ion Trails

posted on February 28th, 2004, 6:57 pm

In star trek we see that ships will give off an ion trail. I was thinking that in Fleet Ops when a ship's engines are damaged not disabled they wil give off an ion trail which would indecate where the ship is going. Also maybe make a marker on the map. What do you think?

Good Idea!!! Maybe it would be a trail, color coded for race.

I dont think this can be done in a2 and it isnt verry usefull.

I like that idea. Maybe not being able to track the damaged ship but just to have warp plasma or something venting. You could probably use the textures from the unmodded A2's freighters full of Latinum and change the color to match each races Warp Plasma color or just make the texture of the ships when they lose their Life Support systems longer. The more the ship is damaged, the more Plasma or other gases it leaks.

Again is it posible with the a2 engine.
