The Team thanks you for the comments, of course. We hope you continue to enjoy the mod.
There are two sets of Gameplay Settings in the game. The one on the Main Menu under Options is for the Single Missions, Quick Patrols, etc, and the 2nd is found in the Career mode when you are in the Captain's Office in-port. You click on the wooden radio console that is to the left on top of some cabinets. You can set the Options there differently for each of any career you might do. The sound and video settings are basically "shared" between the modes, but the Gameplay stuff is not.
