I was wondering if it'd be possible to add a few options that'd make the game run much better on crappy systems (much like my laptop, and my friends computer, as well as other people's computers who might not have that much money to spend on top of the line systems). I'm aware that you can turn down the graphics settings quite a bit and make it run quite reasonably fast, but there are a few more things that i believe would be very easy to implement and would help greatly.
Simple Backgrounds:
I think it'd be great and save a ton on loading time if there was a checkbox for simple backgrounds. No textures, just a simple black background
Space Debris:
Another check box to disable the random floating space debris and possibly even stars
Explosions:
I know you can turn off effects and turret effects, but when you blast something it still explodes. It'd be great if you could just make it so when you blow something up, a can just appears in it's place with no explosion (if they drop something that is, i'm sure you know what i mean)
Better Loading:
I don't know about this one. But i know when i warp into an area where there are many NPC's (like many missions), my comp will lag for a while, and by the time i stop lagging, i'm down to half shields. I don't know how one could improve this, but maybe some sort of pre-load ability or something along those lines.
Would any of these things be possible? I know it'd speed things up quite a bit on my comp. as well as my friends comps.
Any input would be helpful (or if there are other ways to speed things up besides dumbing down my graphics settings in game and turning off turret effects and effects)

The "black (starry) background" option, that one I'd actually like.
Sometimes the background is just too bright and annoys the heck out of me.
A "disable sun display" would also be nice.
And I mean "sun occluded" option, not "by ships" :)
Never had a sun-in-the-eye experience in any mission ?
Another option would be "do not load passive environment", and by that I mean non-collidable stuff only.
Like clouds and things like that.
Probably the single most useful option would be "do not load textures".
Instead, display a "blank" (single-color) texture on all models.
Or even niftier... "do not load models".
Instead, just display collision boxes or ellipses or whatever it is you have in EVE for collision detection.
Hello, and welcome to "Really Advanced Netwars".
Runs best on 486 or better.
