Imperial Cutter Engine color effects

[GG7]

Aren't vapor trails in space unrealistic? They even move and dissipate as if there was wind pushing them in an atmosphere.

No.

If the ships burn Hydrogen fuel, then the exhaust would be water vapor. That vapor would be visible in a vacuum as ice crystals.

As far as the trails drifting... I chalk that up to artistic license.

For me, the blue is just right. A lot of what FD calls 'blue' in it's paintjobs, etc.. is really teal or cyan, so it was nice to get something actually blue for a change.

My Cutter runs the midnight black skin and the blue weapons and engines. It looks really good. I also run the blue on my Python, with a blue skin. That looks really slick when it's landing to pick up my SRV.

I bought all of the colors though. Might not use all of them right away, but I have a whole fleet of ships at my home station to monkey around with, so they'll get used, eventually.

How well does the blue show up when you're viewing your own trail? Seems it's not that visible from the videos I've looked at, but wasn't totally sure as it's hard to tell in them...
