Hello.

I'm playing Eve using 'low shader' option in the options menu. This way the game runs smooth as butter and there is no crazy frame drops in sites with performance reducing smoke clouds. I also can see ship explosion and missile trail effects. However, I can't see ship engine trails. They do appear on 'medium shader' option. Is there a way to turn on ship engine trails when using 'low shader' option?

Nope. The dropdown options, like shaders, tend to override any other toggles and features they overlap, even if those toggles are enabled still.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I figured that was the case. Still was hoping to get those pretty blue trails. X

Despite my mediocre rig, I'm fortunate enough to be able to squeeze the max resolution out of the game (including the usually deal breaking anti-aliasing set to high) and have had no significant drop in frame rate or performance. EVE demands to be seen and experienced with every possible setting jammed to its highest threshold, and I must comply.
