That brings up a good point....devs you need to make all the option items hover over with explanations.

its if you have a REALLY old comp and the ship models and stations and such become bumps and not actual detailed 3D models, at least thats what i think it is.

I believe it's bump mapping :

It's the bump mapping. The higher it is, the spiffier your ships will look. (But they will always be 3d models.)
