Engine Effects

This my have been discussed before but if it has been I couldn't find it.

Is there a way to create your own engine effects including:
- Shape of the Flame
- Colour of the Flame
- Fluroescent effect of the flame
- Trail effect
- Altering to cruise charge effect

It's eyes were completly devoid of life,
Empty Orbs that took in the world with an unfeeling gaze,
A thin trail of blood ran from a fresh wound,
But it would not or could not tend to it,
Only one thing ever brought a spark of vitality,
To the eyes of this Tortured Soul:
The Suffering of others.

I know that colour change was possible but I put it in anyway.

Are you sure???

Damn foiled again

how do you change the color of a flame effect like that of the bretonian blue to green?

yes, but it takes alot of work.

for a starter to get you going, you can look at this thread.

So far the only engine graphical editing I know that is possible is swapping of the already existing effects in the game from ship to ship to get the desired one.

I was playing Fl today and I got in really bad shape - I took on a Capital / Crusier formation without back up - and i saw exactly what I was looking for for my engine.

I want to use the smoke trail, like that of a damaged ship, and change its colour and then I want a circular flame or a massive light to shine through a transpaerent part of my ships engine.

You'd have to see the ship to know that it'll work but I won't show you it till its done. ;P

So any ideas.

EDIT - This being my thread I think I could go a bit off topic...Does anyone know if a weapon can have HpFire01 and HpFire02 and have them both fire at different times, eg.
