When vertical thrusters are going and switch to map, flames are visible shooting out from Delfos

This is an entertaining bug in 2.0.2.57.

I was thrusting vertically from Vallation Station in preparation for jumping to Kemik Station on a replay of the intro missions. I was flying the Sledge ship with hydrogen thrusters.

When I released the vertical climb button and quickly switched to the map, flame bursts were visible spouting from Delfos and shooting across the map between the planets Kemik and Verdure. The speed of the flame bursts appear to be related to the vertical speed of the ship - i.e. the amount of energy the hydrogen thrusters were putting out to slow the ship down. As the ship slowed down and the engines were winding down, the flame bursts slow down and eventually die away.

See the attached video.

Quite an amusing bug. Startled me at first, but you might consider either leaving it in as an easter egg or maybe a holiday-related event, such as Halloween or April Fools. Maybe near the end have Delfos show an evil set of burning eyes and a burning puckered mouth before turning into a frown and fading away once the flames die away.
