Weird atmospheric fx. Poor graphics

[Ragnest]

Hi, so basically whenever I reach high speeds I get what you see in the image, really long poorly detailed heat/air effects. It looks really ugly and I'm not quite sure if it's intended to look that way or not, but I remember being impressed with it the first time I played. That was about a week ago. Any help would be much appreciated.

Result of the new version. Nothing you can do at the moment.

Thank you, just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I could fix.

All well and dandy, but is this not considered a bug? At least the way those effects change appearance with level of zoom, the way heat makes objects translucent instead of shiny?

You'd think that in a game about spacecraft, re-entry effects would get some polish and checking when a new particle engine is introduced.
