Personally, I use 40 for freecam and 55 for deck and gun stations, but I get the impression that I lose some FPS for doing that...
Really?

I always thought opposite; I actually sometimes observed an improvement in FPS because of the lower FOV. Do you use 20km visibility? Maybe it's because it raises the LOD at longer distances. For me, I've never really seen any drops in the game at all.

The ethics question will always be there, and I'm certainly among those who've always wanted lifeboats (aren't most of us?). I think the reason we don't have lifeboats is that you could shoot at them - but I'd be OK with lifeboats that, like the dock crews and nurses, are invincible :hmm:
