Change to Mining Barge Animation

Great job on the mining barge redesign and animation.

However, I would suggest that the 'plume of fire and smoke' coming off the top and bottom be disabled when the ship is moving. It sort of breaks the immersion when the wisp of smoke rotates and moves with the ship.

Other than that- very cool stuff.

shouldn't it move with the ship if it is not accelerating?

besides all the things that look like they break physics just blame on the "passive effects of the warp drive"

Given an absence of friction in space, I see no reason why the smoke would not stay in the same trajectory as the ship (plus the outward velocity of the ejection)

Well, at the moment the smoke even rotates with the ship. WHich doesnt make any sense even in a friction-less environment.

neither does our ships having such a low max vel or being able to slow down with only rear engines. blame it on the warp drive
