Water Suppression mod?

this is used mainly for sound suppression and also I think to reduce vibrations on lift off? Anyways, the main result of this is a crapton of smoke (steam, really) on launch, and you get that effect from the Tier 3 launchpad trenches so I'm not sure what water supression would add to the game, even visually

The water suppression on most launch system comes on a couple of seconds before launch. I guess it'll be another piece of eye candy along the lines of launch countdown, cryogenic vapor vents etc. But since it's water and it would evolve changing the launch pad architecture somehow I can't see how it could be done.

true, it's like how some people want to see sparks too that burn away any excess gasses before ignition (they aren't ignitors :P)
