Multiple light source lighting confirmed?

So at the expo it was said, that we will get lighting improvements on surfaces and in space. Does this mean that the system will be lit up by multiple stars and not just the main one?

Frontier, PLEASE SAY YES!

I would assume so. Its kind of needed in order to have more interesting planet surfaces. It would also give them a chance to make surfaces react with light more, like more accurate reflections, actually glowing ship parts, and such.

They didn't give any details beyond "improving the lighting" but given that multiple light sources would be #1 on the list of things that would improve the lighting, I should assume so.

Possibly not multiple shadow casting lights as that's a right performance hog.

FDev have talked before about how they use the star sky box to create an average colour for ambient light from the galaxy. They've said that changing this to take into account various levels of colour and brightness would happen in a future patch. It will make night sides in particular look less flat.

In part, lighting improvements presumably include this change.
