As disappointing as it sounds, I'm not doing lights at all -- since I've got a 56.6 modem in my rev. A bondi iMac, I'm trying to keep the file sizes down (recently I cut all my shield graphics for much the same reason -- never saw shield bubbles in TOS or the films anyway, and went from 70MB of ship graphics to 20 that way). I may do a plug for adding the lights (and possibly another for shields) later.
The engine glows, on the other hand, are quite prevelant. I do have engine glows for all ships -- both warp nacelles (either the plasma conduits, such as on the Klingon ships, the bussard ramscoops like on the TOS Enterprise , or both like on the...
Hmm.
My Easter egg ship is the only one that comes to mind.)
Ah. I know. The Constellation. That has both.
Anyway, the impulse engines on all ships also glow.
I'll try to get a new screenshot up this week to show a K'Tinga and a Constitution refit in action against each other so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about, as well as a feel for the sizes of the shรคns and the look of the glows.
