shouldn't there be two parts to a trail? instead of just fading out there should be a separate texture that ends the trail that you'd customize

It's pretty cool thinking of that. Like maybe instead of the trail fading away, there could be a thing that you can buy that will burn it away instead. Not too shabby of an idea you have there.

I support.

just add a seperate texture the attaches to the last part of the trail, souds like a good idea to me

Nice, I love this idea.
It would be cool if the this texture faded out a little bit though. (But not as much as the trails do now)
