Nebulae and Young Star Systems should get some well. Nebulae.

Nebulae and T-Tauri Stars get their beutiful looks from the debris and dust floating through Space.
But in the Game T-Tauri Star Systems are just as empty as any others.
So are Systems in Nebulae.

These Systems should get a Colored mist/bloom effect and a limited sight range so people actually realize they are in a nebula....
 
Nebulae are not that thick are they?

When in one you fly from the main light source and see the skyscape is full of colour

As for T-Tauri Star Systems, and other proto starts, some do have gas clouds around them depending on their age.

Um... some of those screen shots were normal space.....

Intrasteller system 'fog' type effects might make some sense, i.e., looking at distant worlds or stars within a stellar system, but not on the spaceship scale, like in ring systems.

Yes, they are not.

Their *Density* not Thickness. Can be Quite high actually.
Especially when its a Star Producing one where new Stars (T-Tauri) are currently forming or have formed not too long ago.


And yes they are normal Space.
But if you look at it. Thats not a dust or bloom effect.
Its the background color of the galaxy map.

Someone watches way too much Star Trek TNG.
Nebulae are incredibly, erm, nebulous.

Sorry but I never watched these.
I was interested in the description they got ingame and looked em up on google.
Also checking some pictures of the Hubble Telescope.

Nebula and Stellar Dust Clouds can be so light that they can span 10s of light years and still not even block a stars light.
But they can also be so dense that a nebula which spans but 1 or 2 light years can blot out even the brightest stars inside them.
 
And... I'm out. No need to bother with threads with this kind of pedantic and patronizing conversation.

Good luck.


So you guys come in here patronizing me about astrology and get annoyed when I point out a basic mistake you made???
Well. Goodbye then lol
 
Dense enough to quality as mist or fog?

Nothing I have read suggests even the "dark zone" areas would be dense enough to notice on a local scale

Local Scale?
Our Sight Range in Normal Space is way beyond 1000 times our homeplanets size.......

Whats local Scale in your eyes?

12,742,000 km sounds reasonable for local.

Local as in needing bloom rather than background color of the galaxy map.

If you can see the planet in game with your eyes, then it is close enough that it wont be obscured by the stellar medium
 
Nebulae are far less dense than any vacuum we can make here on Earth. They only look majestic from far away, and even then, only with image enhancements of wavelengths our eyes can't see. Being inside one would be very dull

Unlikely.
A Stellar Medium so loose that its not causing any light distortion on 40ls would never be able to form Stars.

Dense Clouds can have more than 1000 molecules per cm^3

I actually had to laugh when I calculated that.
Cause on the distance you mentioned.
A Dense Cloud capable of Producing Stars would block just as much light as The upper Atmosphere of Jupiter.

Meaning that at this range you would likely not see a Stellar Body which is not emitting light.
Dont forget Dense Clouds are effectively the mass out of which the Stars form.
So they are by far not as *thin* as you seem to think they are.
