Nebula and starfield overhaul

v0.1.525 Jun 6, 2026

Reworked the nebula and starfield over a run of tweaks: volumetric per-system clouds, a star river, colour, depth, and seam fixes.

  • Reworked nebulas as volumetric clouds with real depth, each system its own server-decided colour.
  • Added a milky-way star river and brighter colour stars that drift on their own depth layer.
  • Added two-tone nebulas that blend a second matched colour through the clouds.
  • Enlarged the nebulas and widened the milky-way band.
  • Fixed background stars rendering as harsh vertical streaks.
  • Fixed faint seams across the gas and the dark gaps between clouds.
  • Thinned overcrowded starfields so sparse systems feel emptier.
