Are you going to do some sort of setup? Remember that there are still low-end system owners out there, graphics cards that are not capable of bump mapping or T&L. And so on.

Most games offers some sort of setup where you can select to enable/disable features.

You mean a launcher?

We have a couple possibilities.

It is likely, that by the time we are done, the system reqs will have increased somewhat, we have not baselined it, but you can't have it all: more ships, better graphics etc, and still run on a p200, 4-8 meg video card with 32 megs of RAM.

dont rise it to 1ghz
but what about turning some effects off (in the launcher that is not yet there )?!?!

Just make some modifications to the in-game "settings". Options to turn things like glowpoints & glowmaps off, etc...
