God you guys are great, I sure hope you can achieve something with the graphics. They may have looked impressive on little movies while we were all waiting for the game, I have the game now and the graphics are really giving me the ****s !

I've tried every permutation with the options but cant get rid of the overall fuzzyness in SH4 I sure hope you can mod this or tell me how to improve the graphics.

This format can be used to store textures, cube maps and mipmap levels, and allows for compression. Due to the fact that most video cards natively support DXTn texture compression, use of this format can save memory on the video card. These files can be compressed by upto 50% more than other formats, this explains the improvement in load times & performance. This is all good.

However, has anyone taken a serious look at these files to see if they can be reworked and improved.

I'm thinking specifically of improving the resolution & detailing of these files.

So far from the screens that I have seen, some of the ships skins are poorly detailed and at a low resolution.

There is a photoshop plugin available at - http://developer.nvidia.com/object/p...s_plugins.html
but I have no files to play with.

Tips, Tricks & messy fixes are welcome!

Skins baby, yeah!
