It would help to try the mod yourself before you accuse it of being a cheat.
It gives you reliable information about not only the ship's direction of travel, but also about its speed. If you had paid attention to your own smoke trail at different throttle settings for 60 seconds, you'd realise that the exhaust smoke is basically a cheat. It simply tells you whether it's going forwards or backwards, and mostly fails at giving reliable information on that as well. I use the mod and I almost never actually pay attention to it, unless the target is too far away and bow in to tell accurately which way it is moving.Įven then it's only barely better than not having it and I end up relying on my own observations (using background, relative positioning, bow waves etc.) anyway.Īnd no, the mod gives absolutely nothing about the target's throttle position and has no predictive value whatsoever. You literally see the ship start to move before the light in 99% of the cases.
It can't make up its mind about whether the ship is moving or not, especially when accelerating at slow speeds, and throttle juking just throws it off. Second, for 95% of instances, the mod is simply too unreliable. Something tells me that you haven't actually used the mod yourself.įirst of all, the mod doesn't tell you anything that the game itself doesn't tell you with the ships' exhaust smokes.
