What this is is Lotus R2 with features removed. It's still just as effective as a basic particle system, but for free.

The features that were removed:
Graphing System
Sounds
Spline meshes
Lotus Particle Scripts

This has pretty much every feature you can find in Lotus R1 at typically quadruple the speed.

Added 'features' that I can think of right off the top of my head are:
Active time
Movement align (e.g., sparks)
Very precise culling
Very fast alpha-particle sorting
Highly optimized particle update procedure
Uses far less surfaces than Lotus R1
Control emitters via entity functions (PositionEntity, RotateEntity, AlignToVector, PointEntity, etc.)
Works with render tweening and delta timing
Animated Textures
