Please can we have an option to remove them... thanks

Just put the new kind in. Why are new modules are getting built with old technology?

They look good in 2D and are less resource intensive?

They don't and, are they actually?

Agreed they are as ugly in 2d as they are in 3d… I suspect they are less resource intensive than dynamically generated reflections

I doubt it. They're baked in as well, they're just reflection mapped instead of painted on the glass. (Yes, the bitmap that's reflected is dynamic, but only in its lighting/shadows. Try changing the color of your cockpit and watch them not change along with it.)

It's not like we got a frame rate hit when they switched to "actual" moving reflections. We've had them on stuff like building glass forever.

The main point is they are ugly. And I still want an option to turn them off
