> Antialiasing removes the details of a background

The real problem is that *aliasing* causes artifacts. An image should not
rely on aliasing for special effects, because it is mathematically
innacurate and produces poor images.

Therefore, the best solution here is to design starfields / flames /
explosions so that they don't rely on aliasing.

I've never seen flame/explosion problems related to aliasing, but the
starfield problem is a common one. It can be avoided by using actual objects
randomly placed in the sky as stars, or by texturing more carefully so that
a star is about one pixel wide in size.
