I'd like to change the zoom-iconization level of ships. I find myself playing mostly at a far zoom level most of the time, only zooming in when some battles become too crowded to see. But in this situation, it's also when the many ships on screen can seriously bog down the performance. So is there a way to tweak Sins so that the models don't show up until a very very close-up zoom?

Frankly Sins' graphic isn't very attractive to me at all, and I'd be perfectly happy to play the game without any 3d model at all. And anyway the real ship models are often too dark to see clearly. For that matter, I can do without the 3D view angle, I'd much prefer the game to be locked at top-down. Possible?
