I think they said it's in the things they're working on but I don't support it unless the trails are new and improved not just the same old ones we have before because those were boring and really needed to go. As far as what they could do to make them better...well that's not my job now is it? :)

Confirming that empty space is way less boring than the old engine trails.
But seriously any trails would be better than nothing. They better visually conveyed your speed and the scale of your ship and the surrounding environment.

A special dude had been hired for fx last year if I remember right.. first assignment for him last time I heard about it: cyno-effect + engine-trails
No update on the matter since then, besides some show off at Fanfest 2011 (correct me if I'm wrong). |

I don't see why my Taranis can end a fight with a burning ass cloud trailing behind it but they can't reintroduce engine trails any time soon. ~~~

From a lore point of view it only makes sense that Minmatar engines would be horribly broken, inefficient and flaming noxious smoke constantly. ~~~

Engine Trails and similar effects are usually a technical artist job, alot of the technical artist ccp has are in atlanta and shang ha* working on new graphics engines and thier subsystems, and from the sounds of what few devs have dropped none of them work on eve, the old technical artist incharge of effects moved on (possibly new position or new job elsewhere)
But they got a new artist on the task and hes a one man team working on all of these things, hes being tasked to fixing the shadows ships cast, spectral maps, cyno effects, retailoring gun effects to the new models, the engine trails, missile effects (launched and possibly impact as well. The list goes on and having tried game development in the past, these take ALOT of time, espeically for one person. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 3APR11

how I see engine trails per race:
caldari: since they use magpulse thrusters, why not a pulsed trail? gallente: a faint, sparkly trail amarr: a solid trail minmatar: a smoke trail, akin to a chemical rocket. ---

maybe there could be some bits of metal and screws flying out the back of the minmatar engine as well.

I for one think it is brilliant to remove a feature only to reintroduce it later in another form. Makes perfect sense to take it away leaving us with nothing only to add it back after changing it so we'll be happy with just about anything 'given' to us.

Don't mind trails coming back as long as there's an option to turn them off.

Engine trails could be re-introduced as vanity items in the MT shop.

Maybe those with engine trails should have a speed penalty of 1% per engine.

that's the great thing about matari tech.
even if it's broken, it works perfectly.
in fact, worry when there is no smoke. it means it ran out of fuel! ---

CCP: if you make it so I can spend Aurum to buy an engine trail replacement that makes my ship look like it's spewing a cloud of orphans, ponies, or puppies out of the engine, I will buy it immediately no matter what the cost might be.
Thank you for your time.

It'll never happen, but I'd like different and varied engine sounds as well. I know there are some differences already, but it would be very immersive if each engine type and ship class had unique sounds.
Lets face it, BS and cap ships should sound like a prolonged nuclear blast, while interceptors should scream when the near top speed.
It's the little things...

I agree, but I keep seeing the little rings pooting out of the back of the Jetsons flying car in my head.
