Preset description:
NOTE: Star Trek Online recently (2017) redid their lighting system so much of this is now no longer needed. I'm going to be doing an updated preset using ReShade 3.x.
I've been working on this preset for awhile, trying to make lights look more dramatic and I think I have it down pretty well.
The game already has lens flare, depth of field, SSAO and so forth so this is just adding a little umph to it.
NOTES:
1. It will make some UI elements glow. In some cases (like buttons in the UI), it's rather fitting, in others, such as chat text, not so much. You can get around this by lowering the color intensity for the various chat channel colors
2. Characters with bright white uniforms will get the effect sometimes which is a little annoying.
Star Trek Online Game Settings
For best results, I recommend the following settings within the game itself.
MSAA: 8x
Post Processing: ON
Bloom Quality: HIGH
SSAO: On
Depth of Field: ON
Lens Flare Quality: High
ReShade/SweetFX
I'm using Ganossa's Gaussian Anamflare effect for this.

This is great, thanks for your work!
