Crew FPS Tweaks

Description
This mod may significantly reduce lag when doing stuff like trading and resource gathering.

This mod works by disabling the thruster graphics the crew have when flying in space. During testing I found the lag reduction to be significant (went from 4 fps without this mod to around 12 to 14 fps with this mod in my testing environment (which happens to be the pic of all the crew flying)).

It may look a little bit more boring this way but it works :).

Also if you don't like this mod, it can be freely enabled and disabled so you can test for yourself the difference.

If you prefer a version that doesn't remove the crew thruster fx but only simplifies them for a smaller performance gain, you can try this version instead: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3359770864

v1.0.1 is a minor update.

- Updated ingame mod description.
- Some internal changes to make it easier for me to tweak and maintain this mod in the future.

I tidied up the ingame mod description and copied over some internal tweaks from the alternative version of this mod that I released shortly after having released this mod.

@gothicpando: Thanks. This mod was actually born due to a suggestion from someone on discord. I did some testing and almost by accident noticed that disabling the graphics of the crew thrusters could have a significant effect on fps so I basically rushed this into a mod as I thought this can be very benefitial for some people who do a lot of trading, especially if they have a potato PCs.

I'm gonna run some more tests to see if I can find a compromise that doesn't disable these graphics completely while still giving decent fps improvement.

ooh nice this is the kinda QoL that this game needs.
