First let me say I havent played GWX since the inital release...and just loaded 2.0 up yesterday (home sick so need something to do between bouts of fever induced sleep)... WOW!
I will say though, I think you should have left the "contact tails" as an option. As far as realism goes, if you get a visual contact on a ship you can pretty much tell which direction they are headed. If you get a radio contact you can bet est speed and direction of travel will be communicated.
I almost feel bad giving anything that can be construed as a negative comment about GWX, as you guys have made an AWESOME mod... but I have to agree Penelope_Gray here... (well not the arsehole part :rotfl: :rotfl: )
