Issues, Workarounds & Localization

The shaders are fine as I see them mostly, but theres a tiny issue that bothers me.

When up high the game looks great, but clouds of dust and stuff kill my framerate, and while turning to medium doesn't bother me so much as my fps clears up entirely. It doesn't effect how the game looks so much except around clouds.

My problem here is that for up high the engine flare is real looking and doesn't lagg me at all, from behind the ship you see the flare. On medium though the engine flare is a flat effect that cuts through the engine structure on the ship. You now see the outline of the thrusters instead of just the flare..

Is it possible to enable better shaders on ship effects? Or just disable them on environmental clouds and explosions?

I know it's a tiny problem but I want at least my engine flares that i'm always seeing to still look great, without my computer dying from dusty stuff.
