as of yesterday, i'm still experiencing that bug where you launch your ship and end up on the other side of the planet. so possibly gonna be a huge time waster, but ships are fast, so we'll see

No, no, that was fixed, the patch notes last week claimed it to be so...
When I launched from the yavin outpost, it put me 11km away... Other days, I launch from Keren starport and it puts me right over my house (which saves me like 10 seconds of flying).

I've been looking forward to actual battles like this ever since JTL launched.
Let's hope I don't crash into the ground too hard.
Maybe I should take up the Nova?

You know, I was watching Oneeve's new video and notice something that I sure didn't have.
On my screen, I was basically seeing white/haze while we were in Yavin while in the video he was seeing the ground and such in the colors I think it was meant to be seen in.
Could someone suggest what setting am I missing to turn off?
