Rocket Boots without the trail

[Starhammer]

I wish in the FX option on the Rocket Boots we could also have a "tintable, no trail" option. When you're flying forward, it just turns the middle of your screen into a massive blur of particles. It doesn't make anything look better. Of course, we can disable the effect with /NoParticles, but that disables the primary jet effects as well, leaving the whole thing gone... all or nothing.

We should be able to do better

Have you tried zooming out while flying?

Try flying through Echo:DA with any of the Ice armors active, or the Fire armors. Rocket Boots are such a piddling part of the "blocks your vision while flying" collection of power visuals. With many of them, I've found that the way to address the issue is to point your line of flight down and hold down the "up" key (i.e., spacebar) so the net effect is your flying horizontally with the power effects trailing below your line of sight.
