New space background image (skybox)

[eldorim]

How about a new skybox image? it's very low-res and a new one could give the whole game a much better look&feel at all.

I AGREE EIN HUNDERT PROZENT!

The stock one is fake, bland, low res, filthy and cumbersome for trained eye lids. It's a shame that a 2d curtain that takes up no space or processing requirements can't be a more natural skybox by default.
So yes, the sky needs to be fixed, even if this neil degrasse guy is required it must happen.

There are already mods for this so if you can't wait...

I use this one

But there are others to...

I agree, but honestly, id much rather the devs make the texture files easily accessible without having to run mods like texture replacer to override the textures after they are in memory.  It really wouldnt be all that hard to pull those files (or even everything) outside of the .assets files where they are currently located and put them in corresponding folders so that the end user can replace any of them or edit them as they please without using mods at all.

 

This would also give people the choice of replacing any texture they dont like with another one of their choice.  This is actually the main reason im not so sure i want to see mods like EVE become stock, what makes that mod so fun is that i can make my own damn cloud maps and textures and implement them in game, a stock implementation (if its stuck behind .asset files which are a absolute PITA to extract files from or modify in any way) would likely have a texture id like to change since im a fan of sci-fi and not 100% reality, and whatever squad does will.  In other words, just make everything texture wise user configurable and then consider making a skybox texture that doesnt look like it came out of the 90s.
