-spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -d3dmipmap -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -dualscanlines -snd_preload -env -alpha_env -decals -fps  cache_ani -fov 0.39 -spec_point 0.6 -spec_exp 11 -spec_static 1.2 -spec_tube 0.4 -ambient_factor 75

except for your graphics card, your rig is better than mine, i like a higher spec-static, it looks great with a colored sun (see l33t pic)

I usually have these differences

-alpha_env is based on whether you're playing with LT's shinemaps or not; have it on only if you do - when i'm playing TBP it's off.

-ambient_factor 75 is the generally taken ambient value - if you want things darker lower this. I have it at 55.

-ship_choice_3d uses ship models instead of interface art. I like. Put it in :)  

-orbradar different radar - I'd get this one too if you like 3D radars.

You can set individual characteristics of shinemapping. Feel free to experiment there, but standard usually looks best.

Are there any other cmdlines that are not implemented in the launcher?
What about a thread, where you describe most of those comman-lines?
I searched in the forums, but there doesn't seem to be something like this...
