In this video, (fullscreen it to see) you can clearly see at impulse and full impulse...white specks, and particles move past the ship to show movement and to make it seem like outer space.

Some time ago, over a year ago actually they quietly removed this visual feature. Seriously go log in and play and when in system space there are no particles only engine trails.

Why was this removed? It made it seem more like space, and was a cool effect to show how fast your ship was moving.

The Engine trails are horrible, should have kept the particles and removed the trails.

So, can you guys put this back in game as a toggle?

    Go into your Video tab in the Options, turn High Detail Objects on, and set Visual FX to High. That's what I do, at least.

    Wow, I have every graphics option on full, every one. Still not there...why doesn't this show up for me but other people can still see it?

    Are you using the dx9 or dx11 setting? That might be the difference.

    I turned mine off. On the engine icon check to see if the visual is turned off (like a costume).
