Why did you take it away??
Now it's always on and I get -50 fps (out of 350-400) every time I direct my camera at the sun

It used to be this way:

damn PITA Sun... Please bring back the option so that I can once again turn this off. Fed up with having change camera view of the ship because the sun is flickering like crazy around the "whatever object" is in front of it.

I agree, I always played with this option enabled and I want it back. It is annoying to see the sun blinking according to the camera point of view because of the deletion of this option.

Stop fix something who isn't broken...

Bump And Agreed.

Even for high-end graphic card users (like me), this option was a lifesaver, especially when you want to open multiple clients/multiple games ect.

Why remove it anyway ? Wasn't broken, wasn't causing any bug ...

Want it back.

Sort of necro, but it deserves a bump.

For me, this option was great to avoid the "blinking sun" problem. Very annoying because with my luck, I often got this blinking bug while travelling... and I don't really know why it happens, probably an object very far away occludes it... but even if this video I just recorded seems to say that the planets are the reason, I often see some solar systems with the same configuration but without any blinking sun... :

The planets are at 7+ AU, btw...

Why did CCP remove it ? Because of their new hobby called "immersion" ?

Also, I happen to be wearing tinted goggles, you would think that should help.

I feel like I went to Butchers Bay and got a Riddick like shine job.
