Hey Rage, Well this is what I did so far, but it really does suck. I made a loft object with the same profile of the ship into a surface emitter. That way it would emit particles in all directions from the space ship. I made the particles blobs. Movie version 1 In this one you can see the emitter towards the end. Movie version 2 In this one I tried to go bigger but I over did it and my 1 GB of RAM wasn't enough to keep the render from crapping out. Attached is the Maya file of this version. Thanks for your help.
