For now you could increase the scale in the settings, I've now allowed up to 60, which is full screen for me.
FYI, I'm still considering your suggestion but also thinking on what's the best way to do it, also in combination with all the dark night mods, would we want the best equipment to basically nullify it them? well perhaps, as its already pretty late in the game by then.
Was also thinkin in terms on when you unlock the MK2 and MK3, there seems to be quite a gap between MK1 and MK2, while the gap (in game-time) between MK2 and MK3 seems to be smaller... perhaps MK2 should be unlocked with space science instead. but then it also needs a recipe change..
