And here I thought that chemical reactions burning could indeed create smoke in space that would slowly dissipate as the atoms in the vapor drifted apart.

Then again, I also thought that explosions could ignite ships full of oxygen in space, at least until the oxygen burned off.

What do I know.....

Not much it seems.
Like for instance that chemical (reaction) propulsion has no businesses being in space as it´s much too inefficient to get anything properly done.

Ya they look dumb, the FPS hit is lol...

ive gotten no FPS hit on my rig. Hasnt even effected it. Time for an upgrade, or turn down ur settings i think.

1 thing i would like to comment & agrere upon, is, you cant see them from a distance, to a flame trail/marker should be at least visible, as so i can see where there going at great distances.

And as for the scatterring effect, i personally think its great. hitting the same place on an object was gettign a bit boring. Next thing i want to see, is impact on shields ( if there's any left lol ) with some sort of effect. Only time it should actually be hitting ships hulls, is when your in armor or hull

If they made the trails a bit less intense and made them into firey orange (like the old missiles) it would be fine. Oh yeah, fix the snowball-like impact of the missiles too.


Don't have much issue with missiles except the fact that they look like male reproductive cells when fired en masse.

And this is how crappy an actual chemical rocket exhaust looks in space.
LEO in this case but the absence of an atmosphere to interact with is the point here.

Why exactly wouldn't there be smoketrails in space?
All you need is to add oxygen into the fuel

Try to see missile effects as eye candy, then they are easy to like.

This is not a signature.

Yeah CCP, what were you thinking putting things that belong in a flight combat game into our spaceship flight combat game?

Sure the smoke trails look like they're travelling through some sort of atmosphere instead of the vacuum of space, but as was mentioned, your ship behaves the same way.

Hooray for consistency!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Excuse me while I just ROLL and PITCH my ship in order to turn it instead of just firing some thrusters to YAW to my desired heading.

Also excuse me while my ship reaches terminal velocity as it flies through the viscous space aether that also slows the ship down to zero after my engines stop firing.

Let me tell you about 'real' space combat. 2 Ships spot each other in space, fire nuclear missiles at each other from 8AU away, the missiles cross each other and both ships die about 2 weeks after they originally fire ze missiles.



As I have stated again and again, Star trek does it like EVE and we've grown to accept it as plausible in our collective nerdy hive mind. There is nothing wrong with how the ships get around in EVE.


Oh god. Get out.

Battlestar Galactica did smokey missile trails. Stick that in your hivemind, nerd.

Don't make me run you through with my Bat'leth, worm.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

Most of the destructive effect of the nuke would be lost into space the rest would just roast the hull a little. If we have the technology to fly to other planets to fight aliens then we would have shielding or metallurgy to keep the bad stuff out. A nuke hitting you would do diddly.

RAILGUNS are what you want.

Or lasers.

Technically speak, guided missiles are much more practical weapons for space combat than any sort of turret system. -.-

Unless you have a very, very advanced tracking system á la EVE.

Only thing I don't like about the missiles is the renaming. Damn you, CCP Gnauton Evil
