Most engines I do are based upon their faction colours, so I made it match the guns. But, if we were going to go with making it match the lore as close as possible, it may as well be a CTE recolour, a tiny flame, which nobody would like because it's a super boooring effect.
Also the clipping into the models thing seems to be more of an engine hardpoint issue than the effect itself, which it's placed inside the model.
would there be a possibility of doing cte recolor & have it offered alongside this new one in order to at least give people a choice? At least then, it would be a way to actually gauge player preference in the next update that can be tweaked for the next if needed.
Given the flaws of the gaian ship models, a tiny flame is exactly what's called for...& just an observation: Saying 'nobody would like it because it's a super boring effect' is not the same as specifically saying that you know for a fact that nobody wants it. It comes off as simply a personal opinion & I can't help but wonder how many people who play gaians were asked for their opinions prior to beginning work on the engine.
I'm not trying to be difficult...I'm honestly curious.
