[REQUEST] Remove Planet from Design/Build Planner

Post by IronSquid501 »

Hello, just a quick and simple request. The gas planet in the background of the design and build planner is incredibly bright and often makes it very difficult to design stations and/or read information. Would it be possible to replace and/or remove it? I believe others may have suggested the same thing, but could not find the threads.
Attached below is an image which I think demonstrates my point effectively.
Thank you for your time.

I think a better idea would be to use the skybox of the system you're building in as a backdrop instead of the generic one.

Not only makes it more immersive, but it can also help with orientation, as the background elements will line up with the direction of the plot. Right now you kind of have to know/guess how the station planner and sector map line up.

Likewise, the ship builder/planner should show the prospective ship 'docked' at the station, hangar or capital ship model you're interacting with, also with the appropriate sector skybox.
