You know, you're right. We should use Particle Systems' thruster method for Freespace. All we have to do is define two lens-flares at the source of the thruster, one set to trail (IE make a thruster cone) and one set to glare (IE put the actual glare into the thing and cast the shadows) and hang them off the Z+ action channel. Of course that requires self shadowing of models and event handling for models on a per model bases in the engine.

I voted to have both. But I changed my mind: Only glow :D

Get a coder, tie him to a chair, and make him try it
