You'll notice that space in the game isn't anywhere near as black as it should be.
Now, I don't know how many are aware of this, but if you look carefully (well, you don't even have to look carefully), basically ALL space in the game is covered with a layer of faintly-grey gas. This utterly takes away any blackness.
Now, I was wondering what possible reason Frontier had for doing this. And all I could come up with was (a) they thought it might help with the sense of movement whilst you're in the ship, and (b) while space does indeed contain gas clouds etc, Frontier decided to go to the ultra-extreme and blancket it with the stuff.
If Frontier take away that gas, in-game space would surely be MUCH darker.
