The engine exhaust does not line up with where it should in-game. Check the screen shot and you'll see the thrusters are not centered correctly on the ships, event though they have the proper "blue lines" in the .png file.
So basically the engine exhaust is not appearing in-game where the "blue line" says it should.
Also I should add I get this same problem using vanilla graphics, the error is the same.
It totally happens with vanilla ships as well. Also with vanilla thruster graphics, Its like the engine thrust is not lining up with the "blue" line on the .png file.
Ok, I went and looked at a bunch of screenshots from other people's games and sure enough same problem. So, it's not just me but a total game bug. Any chance of a fix?
More info, yeah something is seriously wrong with this in the game. If I take then "blue" bar in the .png and move them around way off where I want them to be I can actually get them to show up correctly in-game! Like way off to the side, ends up correct in-game!
We are talking about this in the mod forum, and others have verified it as well. Seems like the same kind of issue of the planets and overlays, nothing is resizing or lining up any more.
Any chance of a fix in a patch, or is the game "stuck" this way?
Ok, the best I can do to "fix" this issue is this, similar to how I "fixed" the GEM planets and overlays.
Start with all the default thruster images.
Then open you "modded" ones.
Resize to 53x53
Transform to scale, I found 130% worked good for what I was using.
Paste as a new layer onto the default image.
Make sure it lines up close.
Delete the original layer 0.
Save as an uncompressed .png.
That's the best I can do, it's not perfect but it matches up closer than before.
