Ship 'Smoke Trails'

edited October 2016 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Post graphics-update, my ship now appears to think it's in the 25th century equivalent of an aerobatic display team and so has white 'smoke trails' streaming off the back of the warp nacelles, and red ones from the impulse engines, whenever I move.

Can anyone direct me to what I need to do to turn the damn things off? They're not linked to any rep gear that I have slotted, and they weren't there pre-patch. Any ideas?

    Wasn't it always doing that? Mine were. Unless you are referring to something different.

    Are you sure that you arent using the breen hypercooled impulse engines or have them in your visual slot? If so it has ALWAYS had this effect

    Nope, I'm using the full Iconian set and there's nothing whatsoever in my visual tab - it literally looks like my ship is trailing smoke out of the warp nacelles in the same way that the Red Arrows do when they display.

    Nope, it definitely hasn't always been doing that for me.

    Not sure I understand this right, because red/purple/green/orange/etc trails for the impulse engines and blue/green/red/orange/white/etc. for the warp engines have ALWAYS existed in the game, only changing colors/sizes/shape depending on the engine and shield visuals used.

    Could you specify which ship this is? Also, specifying which parts your ship is using, as well as any shield/engine/deflector items? A screenshot would also be of great help in identifying your problem.

    My guess is from reading the posts, the new patch actually popped up a message for everyone saying the graphics were reset. OP, did your ships have any impulse trail prior to the patch? Or did you have your graphics turned down? Might help the community understand if this is just a graphics setting issue, or if they added something to the Iconian set. But every ship I have on all 11 characters using any impulse always has some impulse trail?
