Summary	0001606: Elliptical Engine Glows
Description	I think it would be nice to have support for elliptical engine glows instead of the always round ones we have now. This would naturally require new chunks in the POF format. Currently engine glows are defined by Radius and Normal. Ideally we would want settings for Engine Glow Height, Width, Bank, and Normal so we can have ellipses in any orientation.
Additional Information	Variable width would benefit ships such as the Aten, Demon, and Lucifer that have rectangular engines, as instead of o o o glows they can have proper ===== glows. Banking is important for ships like the Iceni, which have /-\ engines.
Tags	No tags attached.
