Think of it this way, those that replied to the poll are pretty much evenly divided between:
a. wanting an in-game option to toggle space dust,
b. being happy to use mods to achieve the option should they want it, and
c. not caring if there's an in-game option or not.
The exact numbers are pretty immaterial.

Whether that result is likely to influence the devs to make space dust an in-game option in X4 is a rather relevant question, and another is whether space dust was even going to be implemented (in quite the same way as for XR) in X4 anyway.

Since I don't know the answer to either of those follow-up questions, let's perhaps see what the devs might have to say.

I voted 'Don't care".....BUT

I wouldn't let you pilot my washing machine without this basic feature!

'Ooops!' '...thought I was thrusting up...but i was thrusting left...srry 'bout your docking port! Lol...send me the bill!! '

Not that I would even think about allowing a human to pilot a spaceship. That's just crazy.

Maybe a synthetic human/android/mandroid(women drivers :P )

Smashing a million tonne freighter into the side of a station @ 1 m/s, would be devastating . let alone 500 m/s or 3,000,000(1 percent the speed of light)

GCU Grey Area, no one is counting your "no" as a "yes". The unsympathetic numbers are all there, there was just this short attempt at looking at them from a higher level, is all.

I guess my point is (and it was from the start) that asserting that anything (even such a trivial thing) is "easily" modded unequivocally is, at best, premature, and at worst, misrepresentative. I had hoped that I wasn't in a minority on this, but I thought I was, and I'm sort of glad to have been wrong for once. EDIT: glad, that is.

To reiterate, this was purely a community poll, I don't think devs would really take it into consideration unless they're really looking at that specific thing for some reason.

The sample of votes is tiny, Devs of any company would need thousands to really influence their choices in development. No one would do anything with a poll of 100 or less. And so really any poll here on forums is purely for members to ponder about as we don't have the member count or activity to generate a meaningful poll that the Devs would seriously look at.

Imo of course.

So basically saying, I'd not get Ur hopes up.
