I think the last update has given the game the missing space feel .
The greyey black star ridden sky with the light from the star is SPOT ON .
Well done Ironclad - thank god the orange is gone .(if this is not part of the update and its just random please ensure the option to play whole game in this sort of sky .
One thing i did notice when you intial zoom into ships they appear to be vibrating then once you move a ship they then seem to stabilise.
agreed, it looks alot better now
BTW what would be the highest settings you can set in the game ?(graphics)
Putting the setting on highest

But for retail, we dont know, and i bet we wont get that info
