They look weird coming out of warp. The trails start in front of the ship on the Ishkur. Here is a link to a pic: http://imageshack.us/f/585/ishkurfeedback.png/

This is the way they always were back in the day, so if nothing else I love this for the nostalgia of it all. In my limited understanding of how this works it's simply a side effect of how the simulation updates itself as you come out of warp, attempting to mess with this has fallout potential for so many other systems that it's probably better to leave it as is for now P

Actually after further investigation this should actually no longer happen, the model has been improved from what it used to be, i'll forward your screenshot to Team Trilambda, no promises when this can be fixed though. Thanks!

How often does this happen? Can you reproduce it at will? It would be great if you could provide some more info.

Speaking of trails, why is Deimos green and everything else Gallente blue?... or blue with the Iteron orange glow... Inconsistency!

Cosmetics, clothes and dancing: 3 CCP dev replies in 15 minutes plus further investigation...
Gameplay issues or balancing: who cares...

happens every time I come out of warp. I was flying from Imya to New Eden. And I noticed it. I can message you my computer specs if it'd help.


Edit: I took that screen shot today by the way. All I can say is it happens every time I come out of warp.

The deimos used to be green and it had a green exhaust flame unlike all other gallente ships. Due to the ship now had it's skin re-designed to conform with the colour sceeme belonging to Duvolle Labs it has lost it's green colour but has retained the green exhaust and subsequently has a green trail.

I loved flying my Deimos for the sole puropse of it "being different" and I like it to stay that way. I accept the change of skin as I think the DL skin is sexy, but please don't mess with the exhaust Pirate

Are the engine trails graphics final? Will they get some texture or will they stay simple lines.

Well what are your graphic settings? Your graphics card? computer? I've tried all sorts of graphic options and different alinements and speed directions on my quad i7, win7, 2x radeon 6800 and cant make my trail shoot through my hull like that with multiple ships plus pod.
Once ever I was able to make a Mach with micro warp turn back into its own trail as it continued in the wrong direction but couldn't recreate, wasn't even warp related.

Dollars to donuts i bet it has something to do with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 on par with the current entry level generations like GeForce 310M and AMD HD 5450. which are lower than recommended system configuration
