Something fishy...

Since the last update there are all of a sudden many more schools of fish. I mean, a boat load more. So many that it looks very unnatural, compared to what it was before. We went from the occasional "Oh wow, look, is that a school of Boomerangs!" to "Wtf... more schools than single fish..."

1) Specifically at night, the entire visible ocean consists of pin-pricks of swirling light. It's over-done.

2) Many of the schools often move at extreme speed, in visible band patterns, and wrongly scaled (fish usually way too small).

3) I now often see groups of actual fish spawn in and be completely synchronized in their movements for up to several minutes. This happens most strikingly with the Gasopods. Faster fish seem to disperse into different patters more quickly.

Part of this may be considered aesthetic, but the overall experience has changed. The schools constantly and erratically zipping by are a huge distraction. It's like the ocean forgot to take her Adderall...

Sounds like there was a drug smuggler on-board the Aurora...

Probably some variable got changed that affected spawn rates. I can't imagine they'd leave it this way. At least I hope not.
