    Create option to choose shaders like in "The Forest"; Block reflection; Moving Stars in background; Some stars explosions in background; DOF (Depth of field); Penetration of light through glass; 3D Blocks like button; Some things from GLSL shaders mod (minecraft); The destruction of the ship by impact with fast speed; Helmet hud effect.

    Easy to talk about, painful to implement. the game is frankly, running an average physics engine. your asking for a major upgrade, and the graphical fidelity you want just isn't in the engine. sorry.

    1. Dunno
    2. Reflection sounds interesting. I'd trade in entity-to-entity lighting instead, but maybe you'd get both with the same change.
    3. Moving stars? We already have space dust. Maybe have animated 3D stars with solar flares.
    4. Star explosions? Like solar flares and corona ejections? Sounds fun.
    5. DOF: Dunno
    6. light modelling, especially through glass would be fun.
    7. 3D block buttons? Like a GUI change? I would rather have a 3D GUI, yes.
    8. Yes, more GLSL shaders are needed.
    9. Impacts: You can do that now with a change to the config file. Very very very laggy, needs heavy optimization.
    10. Helmet HUD effect, yes.

    Java is the language, yes, but not the engine. if you want to change things like that, you either need to dig through the code for what you want, or make do with what is already there.

    That's just changing shaders already supported by the rendering engine. Some of the stuff you're asking for requires much deeper-level improvements or changes to it, if I'm correct.
