@HorizonsTechnologies oh.. cool!

@SamTheFox that is not true at least for my phone.

There is effects and damage from reentry but the re-entry effects suck and you honestly most of the time you never need a heat shield or even get effects because the speed is slow when de-orbiting.

As for plume damage, that isn't a thing. Although in the new release engines will be able to overheat.

ok, noted, thanks :)

Not to disappoint, but they might already be on(depending on your current settings). Reentry effects are a little underwhelming at the moment: a slight red-orange "ghost" image of the craft overlayed onto/around the actual craft itself. It's really hard to see if not on the dark side of a planet. It also doesn't happen very much with small, lightweight crafts, or crafts on a suborbital trajectory since they're not fast/massive enough to heat up substantially before they slow down too much.

Yes, there is heat damage, but only from atmospheric drag, not from the engine plumes. A craft traveling at 2,000m/s through the atmosphere will eventually "explode from heat damage"(or at least the hottest part(s) of the craft if they reach a certain temperature threshold) if velocity remains constant.

WARNING!

make sure that if you’re on a mobile device, you don’t turn on entry effects. it will crash if you also have other high graphics

np lol
@IceCraftGaming

@Zenithspeed thanks :D

1. there are, you need to turn them on in graphics settings somewhere (i think it's in image effects but idk)
2. i haven't tried using rocket engines as flamethrowers, but i don't think the flames affect anything right now
