So I just resubbed and am loving where I am/what I'm doing so far, but one (very tiny) little thing that I think I'm missing are the new engine effects.
I don't mean it in the way that there are no effects, they're there but they're either on a bit, on full or off. From all the videos I've seen and from what I've gathered from my Alliance members is that the engines should be flickering to life, then kicking in increasing in brightness, not just going from off to on.
I'm running the game as far as I know maxed out, i5-4690k, GTX 970SC, so I don't have any issues running the games.
Also, first time posting on the forums in a LONG time, so please feel free to move me if I've posted this in the wrong place. TIA for any help |

So is your ship always set to full speed, and when you travel do you click the Jump icon for every gate in the route (so your ship goes from warp to stop to warp to stop with no other modes in-between)? Accelerating to warp forces the engines to full power mode, and if you travel "normally", that will be the only animation you'll see. |

You're right. It seems all or nothing, because you probably fly full speed or full stop. Set it for different speeds and you'll see that the graphic adjusts.
My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

Engine/Hull Light flickering only occurs when you've taken hull damage. Otherwise, Engines either visibly burn when moving or don't when stopped, and hull lights remain on indefinitely. The effect as you and your Alliance members describe as it happens in real life is from jet engines with afterburners being ignited in an atmosphere, which is hardly a similar environment anyways. No offense, but an astronaut or astrophysicist is probably better suited to knowing how engine exhaust should behave in a spacial environment. Even then, normally even the Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 engines in an F-22 wouldn't produce visible exhaust unless the AB kicks in. Or unless you just straight up stick you head inside, which I don't really recommend. Point is, they're fine. Game already looks like a really complex Ace Combat underwater. Engines look way better than they did before anyways.
To be fairly honest, I wouldn't mind seeing engines effects evolve into a different appearance when AB's and/or MWD's get cranked up, so I'll give you that. Though, you are right that this would probably be better off in Player Features and Ideas Discussion.

Is there any chance you could capture video of this? It's hard to say from your description whether you're having a problem, but seeing it would be helpful.

If you updated an old install from the last time you were subbed you might need to clear your cache to get the full effect. |

What if one could have window in window of the people one's got targetted rather than just an icon? As an option that could be disabled, of course. |
