Disabling "space particles"

I'd also like to see this as an option to turn off. It's great for combat, and general use, but sometimes you just want to fly around and enjoy the unmolested view.

An option similar to the orbit lines would seem like the obvious solution to this problem. Then everyone is happy.

This shouldn't be hard and i really want it so bump again.

Just for the record.. The amount of dust has to be increased and there should be at least an option to turn it completely off. The best solution would be a slider to control the amount.
High (like beta pre-adjustment in 1.03?) to None.

Indeed, to bump this again. I'm trying to learn flying FA Off - would love an option to INCREASE the visible dust...

I'll just go ahead and bump it again. FDev, please?

REally would like a slider or something. I hate space dust in my space games. I never have issues telling my direction or sense of motion when I turn them off or mod them out of other games. Please make it a graphical option.

Couple years passed... FD, please?

Yep, I'm up for this as well. I have Orbital Lines turned off, and would like to just be able to 'see space', if you see what I mean.

I'd expect to see bits and bobs flying towards me if landing somewhere, erm, 'dusty' though.

I use Dust Buster: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/260740-Dust-Buster-the-space-dust-removal-mod

It isn't as convenient/easy as a slider implemented by FD in the graphics options (so hopefully something like that will happen still in the future sometime); but for now, this mod works very well for getting rid of the supercruise streaks (and normal space streaking if desired).

You may want to leave the normal space streaking on if you run with FA-off, since the dust in normal space also gives you an idea about the vector you are travelling in; but you can choose to have either supercruise/normal space dust disabled or both at once.
