CCIP, thanks for a 'ballpark' FOV setting (40/60). Testing 40%-FOV now, looking at ships in the 'Happy-times' mission. It's impressive that escorts look a lot more 'beefy' too.
Finally noticed distortions near the sides of the ships. It's really not that bad, and seen only at certain angles. As you said it's easily seen in Sh3's stock FOV-setting too.
I can see why you might get a 'nauseous' type feeling, increasing FOV with interior sub-views(!)
; it seems pretty high as it is.
