    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Awesome! Love the little wire frame on the HUD of the original space station! I'm way more excited for this than Star Citizen it has to be said.

    Not too sure I like the stars whizzing by effect when you're flying normally.

    Looks kinda silly.

    Clearly traveling at x hundreds of meters per second you wouldn't see stars moving, so the dots you see are just suppose to be micrometeorites. ie: Just bits of dust.

    In truth they wouldn't show them at all other than to help give you a visual clue to your speed/direction.

    I hope there's a checkbox to turn them off, or something in a ini file or whatnot.

    Maybe, but I think they're in there for a very good reason. ie: Without them you have little/no visual guide to your speed or direction of travel. I suspect they didn't want to have them - as they're not realistic - so have only put them in as a required necessity for good game play.

    Oh, I know the reason that they're there. The old X wing vs TIE Fighter game did the same thing. But they're still awful looking.

    There must be a better way to indicate speed in a space sim.
