Hey there! :) I'm doing some digging and extraction of GIF files from the old game files / DLL's , and noticed these "extensions" to the propulsion system in SS.DLL

They look like they could be a part of spaceship ignition after launch, but I cannot ever see them used in the main game. Anyone know their use, or were they used at all?

There seem to be 8 variants (1 for each of the 8 stages of propulsion)

Thanks! :D (first time poster)

Welcome! Yeah I think I remember seeing those (while replacing the spaceship with a fantasy dragon breeding system for the Heroes of Might & Magic 2 scenario) and wondering why they didn't get used. Presumably they're meant to be used after launch when all the stars are flying past your ship butt he functionality wasn't coded in or it was coded but was deactivated as they didn't like the results. @FoxAhead and @duplj might be able to see as they're good at getting under Civ2 Gold's hood and looking at the engine!
