Engine Flame Red or Blue?

[Mekt-Hakkikt]

I don't think that green looks so terrible, it's something different. But I guess with that quality of pictures, any colour would look good.

 

[Valor NR]

Green doesnt look bad at all put some white in it and it would be perfect

 

[Lynx]

Yeah, green looks quite good. But it would fit more to an alien ship than to a terran i think.

I don't think purple really suits space ship exhausts, it just looks wrong....green isn't to bad but I like blue, I though it was cool when the exhaust changed to red and got longer like when you afterburned like in WCIII, besides, if it ain't broke don't fix it

 

[Valor NR]

Purple? Now who wants to see a Gay Vampire flying around

 

[LeHah]

Boy, that was intelligent, wasn't it.

 

[Cpl Hades]

Yeah. It pains me that none of you have even considered purple flames. Nor have you considered the possibility of one flame being one color, and the other being a different color entirely. You people lack creativity.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Or, perhaps one flame with many colors, and the other with *no* colors.

 

[Penguin]

I think the best type of engine exhaust is the type that's got the least amount of infra red emission.

Insert Sosa quote here.

Better still, we should make the entire game black-and-white and write Wing Commander: Film Noir and have Casey be a JAG searching for the Hellespont Falcon or something.

And he needs a gritty voice-over.

i find this statement offensive

 

[Dak]

No, it's just silly.

And so far, all of the exhausts have been alright imho. LOAF's fruit and veg one was top though

Er, Shane, I was referring to capships in WCP...

And I still feel orange or blue exhausts seem more natural... still, you can't really see the exhausts of modern air jets, can you?

 

[CamW]

That would be because modern aircraft do not use rocket engines.

They use something called a "jet engine", perhaps you've heard of it?

 

[LeHah]

I know I've heard of it. Have you heard of "tact"?

 

[CamW]

Nope!

What is this, 'tact'?

j/k

 

[Meson]

Besides, WC engines appear to be more jet-like then rocket.

No, they don't, as we CLEARLY SEE THE EXHAUST IN EVERY SINGLE WING COMMANDER GAME, MOVIE, TV SHOW AND (WHERE POSSIBLE) BOOK!
