Bloom is now adjustable. Bloom sits over the whole image and is a matter of taste — on small screens and in bright rooms it eats the art. The main menu’s footer now shows Bloom: full · subtle · off.
Three levels instead of a toggle, because “it bothers me” usually means “turn it down,” not “kill it.” At off, the effect is switched off entirely rather than turned to strength 0 — a post-processing pass at strength 0 still costs the same fill rate as one at strength 1, so this also buys back frame rate on weaker devices.
The setting applies instantly and survives a restart. The ship’s own glow stays at every level — that’s what separates the dark hull from the background.
