Ok, I'm looking for the trail that happens when a station (shown below) is destroyed. What is it?

you mean the explosion effect like plasma, etc? or is it custom? I cannot see the image very well.

However many explosions are missile based effects:

Code: Select all

<!-- Kinetic Explosion I -->

	<ItemType UNID="&vtKineticExplosion1;"
			name=				"kinetic explosion 1"
			virtual=			"true"
			>

		<Weapon
				type=				"radius"
				damage=				"kinetic:0"
				>

			<Fragment
					count=			"2d6"
					type=			"missile"

					damage=			"kinetic:2d12; momentum2; WMD1"
					missileSpeed=	"15-25"
					lifetime=		"12-20"
					hitPoints=		"50"
					>

				<Effect>
					<Image imageID="&rsMissiles;" imageX="0" imageY="112" imageWidth="16" imageHeight="16" imageFrameCount="8" imageTicksPerFrame="2" randomStartFrame="true" />

					<SmokeTrail
							spread=			"4-6"
							particleLifetime="16"
							emitDuration=	"80"
							emitRate=		"16-20"
							emitSpeed=		"30-35"
							>
						<ParticleEffect>
							<Particle
									style=			"smoke"
									maxWidth=		"3-7"
									/>
						</ParticleEffect>
					</SmokeTrail>
				</Effect>
			</Fragment>
		</Weapon>
	</ItemType>

All of the explosions are radius:

I did a small test, suggested by sdw, and it turns out that all stations have the smoke trail effect, so it is most likely hardcoded.
