This is a thing that's always bugged me, but it only just occurred to me to make a forum post about it. In the fleet action Slowing the Expeditionary Force, the nebula you fight the IKS Kaarg in is blinding. I can barely see what I'm taking fire from, or where enemy ships are, because the entire screen washes out with bright orange. I thought it was a bloom issue (similar to how some exploration planets have blinding skies with high bloom) but even with bloom turned off entirely, it's still too bright for me to see what I'm doing.
I tried to get a couple screenshots of it to show what I'm talking about.
In some areas of the nebula it isn't so bad:

But closer to the center it becomes hard to see anything at all:

I noticed a weird thing about this when I was trying to get the screenshots - the nebula is much less blinding if you're not actually fighting the IKS Kaarg and its support ships. It looks like the "isn't so bad" screenshots the whole way through. Although maybe I just hadn't found the blinding spot that time.
Anybody else noticed this happening, and maybe have suggestions for stopping it?
