Description
Now with fewer particles, so better for optimization, and looks better. K-wing SLAM to be redone shortly.
Looks pretty neat, great job as always
Thanks!
I am sure it would be an irresponsible use of limited memory, but could you imagine how cool it would be if that engine effect were on all star fighters?
Remake is optimized to all hell right now, but that would indeed be a pretty bad use particle counts. I'd rather spend a few more particles on things that need it more, like hardpoint fires. We'll use these trails only for the two starfighters equipped with the SLAM ability, the Missile boat and the K-wing. That being said, these are only about 3 to 4 times as "expensive" particle-wise as a normal engine glow, so really it won't matter much.
