Some ships phase jump transet particle effect isn't large enough

April 25, 2012 9:58:11 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Purely a cosmetic problem,

 

Some ships have parts sticking out of their phase jump particle effect when in transit, but oddly the 'window' when charging to jump is the correct size.

I remember a few ships off the top of my head, but there may be more. for both advent factions the Progenitor Mothersip(capital class) is almost completely outside of the effect; Also, both advent titans suffer from this issue as well, but the rebel titan is worse.

This implies there is something wrong with that. I fail to see to problem. Is it lore? Does it look bad? I think it is just a pet peeve of yours.

well, I guess for me it would simply be the laws of physics; excuse me for being a scientist.

In order to travel faster then light (FTL) you would have to be in some sort of FTL field (warp field, hyperspace window, or whatever), if any part of your ship was outside of the field, it would be riped off of your ship & left behind, essentially destroying your ship.

I also think that the particle effect clipping through the ship looks kinda stupid. Also, none of the other ships in the game do this, except for very large or oddly shaped ones.

The OP means, from what I have experienced myself. Is the actual phase jump particles is smaller then the actual ship, so the progenitor is sticking out of the phase jump. It looks really dumb.

Yep, that bugged me since Vanillia Sins.
I thought maybe some engine limitation prevented this from getting fixed over the years, but considering the new Titans are even taller than the Progenitor, i don't see a reason why this still persists.

Wouldn't this be an easy fix?
Just cranking up a number for the bubble size?
