Can't, requires additional work, new menus, etc.
And someone else thinks that always showing the player credit balance on the hud needs to be an option,
Requires additional UI besides the option.
...or a toggle for highway music,
Good one, especially after devs themselves acknowledged the tech they use for it is uncomfortable to work with.
...or displaying NPC faction next to their name in menus,
Should not be an option or a mod, should've just been there since the moment remote comms were added. That's not even an "opinion", it's a statement of developers' oversight.

Maybe I can cut this ongoing exchange a bit; the space dust is a fact in previous vanilla X games that are unlikely to get much dev attention for gameplay tweaks any time soon (as opposed to for any discovered substantial game-stoppers maybe).

The OP has raised a suggestion/request that it be made optional in X4. Maybe this thread could therefore be more usefully devoted to gathering an impression of the level of support or otherwise for that suggestion from other players?

My personal opinion: I don't mind it being present.

Don't mind it either - never tried it without, though.

Wouldn't be a(n unbiased*) poll more straightforward?

Feels like it would, Tamina, and I've just created it. Mr. Phipps, would you mind closing this thread?
