Re: What video resolution do you play SE4 at?
1024x768... in fact, SE4 is the reason I have my desktop set at that resolution - when I bought my laptop, it was set at something like 1400x1280, but SE4 always showed up so tiny since it didn't scale to that resolution, so I changed to 1024x768! 
Funny, though... with some of my previous computers, I couldn't tolerate anything higher than 800x600 and often used plain old 640x480, just because the text at the "higher" resolutions like 1024x768 was too tiny... My laptop certainly doesn't have a larger screen than those old monitors, so I wonder if it just has a smaller dot pitch...

Re: What video resolution do you play SE4 at?
I use the same as SJ, 1152x864.
I don't usually have any problems with seeing the ships. Using 800x600 eliminates a useful info box that is displayed during tactical combat...

You can change the font size in windows in the desktop display properties.

1024x768 of course.
I'm short sighted,  I can't read a streetsign 3m away without my glasses, but when I take them off there's no too small letter for me. And I never use them in from of the computer.
If you can't see the ships, it's a clear sign you need reading glasses.

Which doesn't help SE4 at all, certainly not the shipsets. And it breaks some programs (noteabley SJ's Slotmodder for Starfury)

Those programs are written poorly then if it causes them to break.
