The only way I can see ANYTHING in that circled area is by cranking my gamma way up. Is yours adjusted correctly ?
Nothing has been nerfed on a visual side, we've never removed an option or degraded something on purpose. We do optimise things and shuffle settings but nothing should stop things looking lovely. Screenshots are going to help on this one though! We did add a hires close up dust layer to mimic local dust before release, this shouldn't be blurry or fuzzy though and should add to the general cohesive feel of the galaxy.
Here a fresh shot, look in centre and left 'clouds'

Hi Matt, sorry i'm not best placed for screen shot hosting, can we still take a hi-rez screen if so how?? I'll sort out a host in the meantime. Now you mention the dust layer... maybe it's that?

Matt ... is there any option to get a higher res galaxy on the skybox for those that can run it? On my 3 screen setup the stretching on the side screens makes it look a little iffy.
Not right now but it's something we're aware of! Generating even higher res backgrounds is a pain as it would effectively sit you in hyperspace for longer (where we build the incoming system), every doubling of resolution quadruples the pixel count (Which is why whenever everyone claims a new card/console is 5 times better etc then it never really is as everyone immediately doubles the resolution on everything which eats 4 our of your 5 multipliers!)

I tried fiddling around with the resolution in the appconfig file, gave me crashes but the background sure looked nicer with 4096 texture resolutionChanged it back though probably not enough video ram.
