Why does skins look kind of bad on low settings but planet textures look kind of good?

As a side note, if you’re like me and think upscaling will boost performance, it won’t. There’s little point adding it to a game with minimal 3D — in fact, the UI seems to be the biggest resource hog 
Eventually, people may want Vulkan support — it’s an open, cross-platform rendering API and much better than Microsoft’s proprietary DX11/DX12. (Nothing against Microsoft, but Vulkan is just the future, I think.)

Takes me back when i was playing this game on one of those fat 14 inch monitors years ago.

Why does shader-based-thing look bad with shaders on low but less-shader-based-thing doesn’t?
I don’t know sport, it’s a mystery.

Because they are more shader-based than texture-based. We call them SKINs. Making ship overlays more functional while keeping them lightweight is actually a fairly complex and tricky challenge. Like this:
Ideally, low settings should look good, and high settings look even better. But low settings is not that bad.
