This is super cool, but are you sure 150% is large enough for players with really large monitors? Why not have 200% and maybe even 300% too, just in case?

I'm on a 1280x800 laptop, and I've set scaling to 90%, but it's actually too small. I find numbers hard to discern, and am considering scaling back to 100% even though then my small screen feels very crowded. And note this is a pixels issue, not a square centimeter issue.
I think I'd like an intermediate 95% scaling step, though. That would give a slight but very needed improvement to screen real estate (especially important if I resume flying missions, or if I try Incursions) while probably not giving the same number-reading-problems as 90% scaling does.

The specific problem is that when I have large stacks of stuff, like minerals, I can't actually see how much is in them without having to mouse over, at 90%. I can see the first digit easily but I can't know the order of magnitude for sure. For a trader (even a part-time trader) that's problematic. I think 95% might solve that. Otherwise you're going to have to do a font tweak, or some other interface tweak.
(Note that I don't need to know precisely how much is in a stack. I can mouse over it if I need that. But it does bother me a lot that I can't know the order of magnitude, like if it is 87 million or 8.7 million or 870k tritanium.)
For the same reason, you might want to implement 105% too. Not for my sake, it won't be useful for me in my current situation, but maybe some other players will benefit from it. Also note I'm not asking you to let players set scaling to 214.33% or other such silly precision, but the 90% to 100% step is slightly too coarsegrained, and it occurs to me that perhaps some other players find the 100% to 110% step to likewise be slightly too coarsegrained.

I find that at 100%, my 1280x800 screen is somewhat lacking in real estate, and 90% has font issues. Hence my wish for a 95% compromise.
