System Starspheres

[ioha]

First of all, sorry for the late replies, I didn't check this thread until now.

I was wondering, could a light source be added to a starsphere? In Omicron Kappa, it seems the placement of the green giant star was specifically to 'plug' the 'black hole' on the starscape behind it, especially when viewed from a certain point in the system. They both align perfectly, and it makes the system look like it is in a giant wormhole. If this could be done then there would be new possiblities that could be done with starscapes, for example the Omicron Kappa/Delta background could be fixed to look like a giant wormhole (as it was probably meant to look like one.)

Actually, the effect you describe is due to the starsphere model of Omicron Kappa being a bent cone, textured.
To achieve the same effect in Delta, one only has to use the same starsphere or create a similar one (though that is, as Treewyrm described above, more complex).

Very nice starspheres, Sleip. This is exactly the kind of thing that Disco needs to work on adding. It is all very well have new ships, but you can only have "nothing but new ship after bloody new ship" for mod version after mod version before it gets old fast. what brings originality and freshness to mods is stuff like this. I seriously want to see more of this kind of thing for 4.86. So keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback!
This should only serve as a sort of bump to the Dev Team, but I'm willing to learn how to get to a higher level in starsphere editing, so I might help out if needed.
