Sometimes when a ship leaves through a gate (like in Spaceport One) they can leave behind the engine glowing picture (?).
Not quite sure how to say this ^.^"

Haha, yeah nice one. This can indeed only occur with the portal. The reason is that the Space Borders engine only draws content that is on the screen. The thruster effects are only redrawn when the ship they belong to is visible. Since ships have huge speeds when accelerated by the portal, they might instantaneously disappear from the current frame and thus the thruster effect doesn't get a chance to be redrawn. Maybe in the future I will make sure that effects like thrusters and navigation lights of ships are not rendered at all when ships are off-screen. Would also improve performance. Thanks for reporting!
