Bah!

I'd use volumic gizmos if you have a fairly nippy machine...otherwise the point at which the glow fades out can be controlled by the occlusion spinners in lens effects properties.

Dont overdo glows tho!

What I did was use a lens glow effect for an Omni light. Seems it won't show if the Omni is behind the engine and your camera is looking from the front of the ship.

You can't. The premise being that they are affects on the lense, not in 3D space.

Umm, yes you can.  You just use RealLensFlare instead of Lens Effects Flare.  Lens Effects Flare is only good for two things.  Engine "glows" up close and suns.  For everything else, use RealLensFlare.
