You can.  Go to the settings.json file in starsector-core /  data / config and set "enableShipExplosionWhiteout" to "false".

Thanks mate.
I normally have no problems with it but went to play on my old PC and it was like woah. Bright nuke bombs that burn my eye-sockets.

Thx bro, i did this! But have players to edit game files for such things?
I think "such effects" should be off by default or have a switch in game setting!

Generally the stuff in settings.json but not in-game settings is there because it would have to be done to a different level of quality for me to feel comfortable having it be an actual in-game setting.

In the case of ship explosions, for example, they "work" for frigates, but when you scale them up for larger ships, they could stand to have more detail if viewed stand-alone. With the whiteout over them, this never comes up - but removing whiteout would make this an issue.

If tweaked from a config file, though, I think there's an implicit understanding that things may or may not be optimal as a result of the changes.

GraphicsLib does add extra effects to ship explosions as a replacement for white-out.  I can confirm on Alex's behalf that it is not easy to tune ship explosion effects.

(Any sort of visual effect just takes ages to nail down, it seems like. On the bright side, when I'm working on something like that, hours disappear within minutes.)

I feel like I ripped Alex off with the low price I paid for this game back in the day. Once this game is fully released, I would buy this game for 30 bucks easy and donate to some of the modders.

Just a quick question, would there be a possibility to recover ships directly in a mothballed state? (i hope I didn't miss a button that does it already)
