what kind of question is that? :lol:
I guess it doesn't even need an answer :lol:
SCREW CANON!

 
At least it's something!

   But I think they should be used only when there is a reason for them. The output for an after burner on a fighter is not greater than the cruising power of a cap ship (why not trails for them now???) right?

   Well I propose that trails be used for fights only in enviroments that would be more logical. Like in an atmosphere or nebulas!!! the curving effect IS awesome and that death spin realistic, but yeah I agree a little touch up would be great...

My humble opinion (Dodges fruuit and objects) :nervous:
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Sesqu... Sesqui... what?
Sesquipedalian, the best word in the English language.

Honestly, there are probably quite a number of things that are far more important, but then again, if the groundwork code is still there from FS1, it shouldn't take too long, right?

Ahh, I was wondering about that.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Are you talking about the bright lights that appeared on ships? I also think that looked very nice, but isn't that a Glide-only thing or something like that?

I'm not trying to impersonate anyone.  I use the nickname Sesquipedalian all the time, and I registered at the VWBB without knowing that there was anyone else who used that name.  When I registered here, I was surprised to see that someone had already claimed it.

Don't feel bad. I did the same thing over at F2S. I registered as Warlock, came over here and found out there was already a Warlock. And now I'm Hades.

 
because in every game i know of is that most of the stuff in game are in fact called spirts, and shaders, well maybe only in quake3 but that is what they called it in it

If you're talking about the self illumination sure that's possible... but the practicality is questionable. If the code is made to call a glide function or is programmed to be compatible with glide, you'll need to put in some effort to convert...
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I doubt it's that didficult, basically, it's making certain colours to completly ignore shadows. the code is already in there, you stiill have the self illu entries in the ships tbls, damnit! that's what pisses me off so much, it exists, it's there, you can even see it!
SCREW CANON!
