Skybox Nerfed?

[Nutter]

So I've jumped into my super Cobra and had a look in that system, it looks like right in that view there's a patch of darker dust. It's part of the background so it doesn't move, if your running a high gamma or contrast this will be more obvious to you. The way we create this may change at some point as it's not as good as we want it to be but better than without it. Turning off the dust means space looks too clean. So basically yes there's something there, yes its not perfect, yes it's on our to do list for the future. I'm afraid there's not a lot I can do about it right now though as long as your in top graphics mode it'll look as good as it can right now, at some point we'll hopefully make it even better especially for larger monitors!

Many thanks for responding so quickly Matt, I understand the pressures and the need to follow the roadmap.

Look forward to the enhancements as and when they come, just happy I've not gone barking mad and that this will be 'streamlined' at some point.

I just want to add that for me the game is about the beauty and a great job you have done too. Please, for any future tweaks if you could build in options for those of us with high end systems so that we can retain the beauty you create.

Many thanks

Has someone submitted a ticket with some screenshots? It could be your seeing a bug to do with the combination of options your using at the moment. The skybox should look lovely at all times!

It looks pretty horrible today and I'm just in the 'Game set' High settings - nothing fiddled with.

AFAIK the skybox quality is tied to the 'environment' setting, along with planets.

I really like the galaxy, but wish is was a little less ... brown
