It is time to remove the orange "glow" texture on the Python thrusters

[Mephane]

I already notice this myself when the engine colors got released, today I saw the following post in another thread that highlights it very well:

White wasn't available when I took these. Everything else is here. You can see engines and thrusters, to give you a better idea.

That orange texture on the end of the large thruster exhausts looks out of place and clashes unpleasantly with most of the enginer colors. Look how nice it looks on the smaller nozzles without the orange texture for comparison. I understand that realistically, if the metal of the nozzle glows from the heat it will glow according to the temperate-color scale and not magically take on the color of the plasma exhaust, that is why I am not asking for it to take on the color of the engine color, but be remove entirely!

P.S.: I am not aware of any other ship having such an effect and thus this specific issue with thruster colors, but if there is, I want to extend my request to these ships, too.

Edit: Another post in that same thread happened by chance (though for a different purpose) to give an example what I mean how it should look like:

Actually looks kinda cool, weird, but cool with the green, but I agree they should be removed

I don't know... The Python is an old, old space design.
It's pre fuel injection, pre catalytic converters, it's a true ungreen gas guzzler, and that orange effect gives me a warm, fuzzy, artery clogging feeling of a full fat ship that Donald Trump would be proud of

Its just part of the paintwork aroun the thrusters. Don't see a problem. Looks ok.

It's not just paintwork. It will appear only when thrusters are running and fade away when they don't. It seems like at some point FD experimented with the idea of thruster nozzles visibly glowing, implemented it once as an experiment, and then left it at that. Notice how only the inner pair of the nozzles even shows the effect, plus I haven't seen it on any other ship, either.

The metal is glowing because it is an older type of ship and thus the metal gets heated up?

Does it clash with cosmetics, some, but I still like it gives an impression of just how much force is behind it.

Personally, I think it looks fine as is.

if you mean on the thruster thats a nifty thing called heat it makes metal red. now if you mean above and in between them thats a thing called running lights

 

[silvrav]

It's heat vents and thus the correct colour. It's not thrusters so why must it be the same color as the thrusters

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

I use the orange thrusters, so it looks fine to me.

After some more thinking I must concede that the effect is kind of cool in general, however it should then be expanded to the other pair of thrusters nozzle, too. The oddness comes less from the orange glow and more from the discrepancy between the different nozzles.
