Engine Trail Rotation

[Imperial_Gold]

We all know about the engine trails on thruster blocks right? It's pretty cool. An exposed thruster block produces an engine trail. The only problem with this is when you rotate the thruster, the direction of the trail doesn't change.

I suggest that when you rotate thrusters, the trail should follow the end of the thruster (the circle looking part). This would look cool for ships with their engines pointed down. Engine "exhaust" pipes could be made with engine effects going upward.

Thoughts?

Personally i would much perfer some sort of engine exhaust block, to customize shape color & size of the fire.

Could be connected to engines to determine size of cone... - then have THAT rotatable.

Why not just make the shape color and whatnot of the engines customizable as well as linking the exhaust to the direction the thruster is facing instead of adding more blocks. The options could just be in the structure tab.

It would be nice to have ground facing thrusters actually animate properly.

What Sven said is perfect, too.
