Anyway, thruster colors shouldn't all be different. It just gets silly. Why would they be different? Unless each empire burns their own special fuel.

I wouldn't mind if they look different...but their engine trail representing the color of their faction as well? Its just nonsensical. I doubt they'd waste the resources to color their aircraft's engine trail.

Just pointing out, bullet tracers are faction specific colors. It isn't always about realism, it's about gameplay. It's always nice to have some lore friendly explanation, but considering they make these things out of nanites, it's not hard to imagine they may have some easy way of manipulating thrust color.

But yeah, faction specific vapor trails may be going to far. I'm ambivalent about that part.
