It's emitting media. And the wierd texture that appears on the ship is just
granite. The glow has a colour of rgb <1,2,4> with a spherical density.

I may take some artistic license with the explanation of how that doesn't happen
:) maybe something like it only jumps to points where it will be experiencing
the same amount of gravity, so it never appears in deep space or too close to a
sun!

Exactly :) That's one of the things that inspired this idea. Though mostly it's
just an excuse for me to show lots of pretty scenery!

Yeah, that's my point. Because they can't control their destination the journey
last ages and goes to lots of places. I was just saying that /if/ they could
control their destination, there'd be no point doing an animation of it! :)

Thanks for your comments
