Dear Devs:
I am running STO on a 2013 MacBook Air and have been experiencing some graphics issues since Season 9.5 went live. One such issue is with flickering textures that look like they are showing random artifacts on plants, some consoles (Klingon Cardassian, Romulan consoles specifically), some floors, and other random locations in ground maps, flags, and some stars in sector space. These textures look fine from a distance, but start flickering as I come closer to them. (See attached screenshots)

I filed a ticket online (ticket number 140905-001916) and got help finding this workaround:
Go into the graphics settings and do the following: set lighting quality to low, disable postprocessing, and disabling Space Screen Ambient Occlusion makes the issue go away.
That being said, the graphics looks much worse with these settings disabled and look forward to a permanent fix.
Please let me know if there is any other assistance I can provide in resolving this bug.
Thanks!
