I heard that when they rendered based on what they know the galaxy, the render came out far, far to bright, so they had to add a lot of dust to the universe in order for it to look remotely realistic...

Heh, i remember similar things from films, where they tried to make something look realistic and test audiences said that it looked fake, so they made that something unrealistic and the test audience would say it looked real.
Humans... go figure.

I'm saying the high density inside the ED highway IS evidence of something (a ton of stars) missing outside the highway.
The only other possibility is that this highway exists for real, and surely no-one takes that seriously.
I'm sure you have heard it before but you didn't hear this time. The example is correct. FD have themselves admitted that these highways in the ED galaxy are "an artifact of observational bias.". I.e. they don't exist for real.
Fact is, Frontier cut-and-pasted catalogue data and failed to feed it into even simple galaxy model to give a consistent surrounding density.
That ED ahs as a a result is a star density surrounding Sol that is too low by a factor of at least 100x - as you can see from the void in the screenshot. You apparently do not care about the accuracy of the galaxy and that's fine, but then how about taking your points elsewhere, since this thread is about how Frontier got it "perfect".
