Just saying...I think it would be epic to see the crapton of engine trails in warp from a fleet of 50 ships. The engine trails should be visible as far as the eye can see behind you while in warp and disappear at the same speed you decelerate when you leave warp.

Anybody else think this would be cool?

:lolrp: you wouldn't see the trails behind you, as your ship is traveling at FTL speed.

Yeah, eve is sooo realistic.

if you are going faster then light then the light will lag behind you, and then create a trail.

At near light speed travel all the light in front of you would blue shift to gamma rays and you wouldn't be able to see it. In fact, it would fry you.

What needs fixing is trails from other ships you see warping in. For some reason, the graphical engine plots some swirly trails, instead of straight ones matching the warpin trajectory. I'm guessing it's related to the same issue that makes ships warp in sideways, i.e. not facing their direction of travel.
