How do I remove the spheres from the tachyon bullet trail?

These 'after-image' effects cannot be removed.
Even if you remove them, tachyons will end up looking like glowing beach balls rather than twisty tear-drops.
You'll notice many (energy) weapons have this effect too, such as blasters and particle rifles.

Then how come Arc was able to seemingly remove it? See the Capella SOC Debreifing. Did he use a big bullet?

To be blunt, I didn't remove it. The "after effect" - which is actually part of how surfacing works - uses the same sprite as the bullet. It's not as obvious because Syrman Phase Cannon shots cannot turn.

What I mean is, even ehen I change the sprite and set the turning to zero, the spheres are still there.

What spheres are you talking about anyway? Care to provide a screenshot?
