How do I turn off Nebula Lightning?
Nebula lightning is totally lagging my FPS and I need to turn it off. How do I do that?

I've tried TOTALLY turning my graphics level to 1 on everything and it still lags (I play the game out of nebulas on full). So it's obviously something to do directly with the lightning.

Thanks.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Playing in D3D by any chance? Try OpenGL from the video tab of the launcher instead.

Re: How do I turn off Nebula Lightning?
...and, do you mean "lightning", as in the thundering and flashes going on inside the nebula? 'Cause I don't think they should cause any particular lagging in any kind of computer.

Or do you mean the nebula lighting effects in general?

I suspect he means lightning. I vaguely remember someone asking something similar last week.
