This addon now requires Visible Planets and Fleet View as mandatory dependencies, which it didn't just a few days ago. While the inclusion of Visible Planets is questionable at best (as the game now has its own visible planets), the Fleet View addon simply destroyed my performance outright: watching my platform arriving at Nauvis lowered my FPS from steady 60 to 10 (for reference, on a 12700k + 4090 hardware).

Can you make those two mods at least optional so I could enjoy better starmap background hd textures without including unwanted addons.

Thank you for your message.

Regarding Fleet View, I will make an adjustment so that it is integrated as an optional dependency.

I have re-added 'Visible Planets in Space' so that the Shattered Planet backdrop is displayed again. With the 'Use base game platform backdrops if available' option enabled, only that backdrop should be modified by 'Visible Planets in Space'. Please check if this setting is enabled on your end.
Ideally, everything should be compatible with each other. If not, could you please explain what isn’t compatible in more detail?

That aside, I'm currently developing my own solution and will switch to it as soon as it's ready.

Thanks for response.

There aren't any compatibility issues on my end, I just mentioned visible planets as it was already in the game and see little reason to use a mod for that. I could live with a mod but a real problem was Fleet View (yes, I have 7 very large platforms parked at Nauvis at a time, this is what that mod can't handle well I guess), so I had to disable Graphics addon for now. I'm also excited to see your new solution!

I think I've found a good way to use the recommended dependencies to enable all the necessary mods while still allowing you to disable them. This means that you can now delete 'Visible Planets in Space' again without affecting anything else.
