IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS 1.1
NEEDS A NEW RESTART
Use at your own risk.
The final version than I can get for now. If nothing goes wrong its the final version of the entire game with the exception of the ANH sectors and Aldrin 2 (not a big deal imho).
I decided to release the mod today cause I want to compete with Skyrim, hahahaha.

SCREENSHOT EXAMPLES FROM BETA1 VERSION
Some sector examples (images taken in most cases with 90 degrees vision cone to see more background, this can distort a bit the edges of the image):
TERRAN SECTORS




PLUTO
The more distant planets receive less light now to create a better atmosphere.


URANUS
With some subtle planet reflection

MARS
With not so subtle red reflection to add dramatism

X SECTORS
OPPOSITE RED SECTORS (Rosette nebula)




DARK HORIZON SECTORS (M78-and-NGC2071)






MIDNIGHTBLUE SECTORS (Whirpool galaxy)
Now yellow gas, works perfect with Teladi imho




GREENVOID SECTORS (Pelican nebula)
You can see the Teladi have yellow window lights now giving a little more personality to the race using the same color that his metal designs




BURNING HORIZON SECTORS (Milky way)




STANDARD BLACK SECTORS (Well, black XD)
This shows the difference between my concepts and vanilla ones.
BEFORE
All the vanilla sectors i checked looks like this (Maximum level of white light):

AFTER
I changed the luminance depending of the sector. One example can look like this (A less intrusive bright white light):

I suppose the vanilla concept want to help players to detect easily rocks and other floating structures but i dont want to help you at all XD. Now the black sectors vary from pitch black (use your sensors) to the original white intense light.
GREENSPOT SECTORS (Omega Nebula)




DEEPRED SECTORS (Spitzer nebula)




WHITENEXUS SECTORS (Orion nebula)




GREEN OUTLAND SECTORS (Butler Nebula)
The watery house of the Boron




BLUE WELL SECTORS


FOG BLUE SECTORS
Now its blue not green. The fog here looks like a dense vapor, not like little floating nebulas.




DEEP BLUE SECTORS (Noctilucent clouds)
Noctilucent clouds, are tenuous cloud-like phenomena that are the "ragged-edge" of a much brighter and pervasive polar cloud layer called polar mesospheric clouds in the upper atmosphere, visible in a deep twilight. They are made of crystals of water ice.



BLUE NEXUS SECTORS



BLUE DISTANCE SECTORS (Hydrogen clouds in the Carina Nebula)




CYAN CORNER SECTORS (ETA Carinae)




BRENNAN'S TRIUMPH SECTOR




PURPLE OUTLANDS (Bow shock near a star)
A bow shock is created in space when two streams of gas collide. The young star LL Ori Emits a solar wind, a stream of charged particles moving rapidly outward from the star. The material in the wind collides with the gas evaporating away from the center of the Orion Nebula, creating the crescent-shaped collision area



PLANET NIGHTLIGHTS
Screenshots taken with enhanced goggles X2 active


KHAAK SECTORS (Mammatus clouds)




KHAAK HIVE (Mammatus clouds)



RED DAWN SECTORS




XENON SECTORS
In fact there arent a background for the xenon sectors but the idea is to bring some coherence to the general look based on the idea that xenon look for shelter far from a solar energy and any kind of advanced biological life. Planets with nightlights has been changed, luminance decreased. Pitch black sectors, behind a planet (dark side), some original ones......

NEW PLANET RINGS
Filtered texture, double size




RED BORDERLAND SECTORS



GREENEYE SECTORS
