Self Shadowing

jackraker

Hi,

I was just wondering if there's a reason the ships in STO don't cast shadows on themselves? I think it would make a big difference visually, and I'm surprised it isn't already implemented... Unless it is and I've somehow missed the option? I looked a whole bunch of times.

Is there any plan to introduce graphics options like these so those of us with high end machines can drool over our ships a little more?

Thanks.

Yes they do. You need to have the shadow setting either medium or high to really appreciate the effect. If I am outside ESD and there is another ship above me, depending on the light source the ship above me casts a shadow on my ship.

That's ships casting shadows on other ships though. I mean my ship casting shadows on my ship.
