[EM] Speed lines question
Does anyone know how to make the space dust speed lines more prominent, like in the Independence War games? It would help (myself, at least) to move precisely in high speed/long distance maneuvering. I'd like to either change the dimensions and reduce the transparency, or recolor them to my preferred 255,0,0 red color. In the case of a recoloring, I would consider the lines to be drawn on my ship's HUD; space isn't as dusty (and definitely not as consistently dusty) as the speed lines suggest, anyway. If this is possible, I'd like to integrate it as an option in my ThinHUD.

this is very needed in the hud. Its hard to maneuver accurately with present 'space dust' .

I never use the dust myself, but the dust has a graphic associated with it in the customization kit. You can trick out the graphic and see how it affects the aesthetic.
Now that I think about it, I think I might just remove the dust altogether. It usually is something I don't think about, but it is something that I could do without.

The image file you are looking for is the 'cyan.png' file in the \\hud folder. You can modify that image or import your own to be a specific color or pattern to make the motion spears more visible.

I just set a waypoint at my current position and then observe the motion of the waypoint as the planet rotates.
