I find I can make out distant ships easily enough at 1024x768 with 4xAA (6x even better).
4x kills my framerate already, but 2x seems to do the job, thanks for the hint!

Still, any AA lets the performance drop significantly. Maybe I can improve it by using the "right" meaning the least demanding version of your reflection-offers. Maybe someone has made some experiences and could post which one would be the best for a low-end-comp. Right now I'm using normal effects without reflections - but installed the sh4-effects after that.
This setup will give the best framerate:
Enable-> Remove All Object Reflections for OLCE2 (with or without VIIC41)
Enable-> GWX 2.1 Normal Particle Effects for OLCE2 (without reflections)

Also, what kind of graphics card do you have? If ATI, make sure you tick the "Geometry Instancing" checkbox in the CCC. If nVidia, try the nHancer program.
