It's not very likely, physically. But indeed, there might be some rare cases... E.g. when two solar objects (moons, planets) come within each others Roche limit, one of both them might be ripped apart by tidal forces; the resulting debris might then resemble an FL or TESB asteroid field for some period of time.

Thx for the tip about suns in Crossfire. I've played that afew times, and I saw a lot of beautiful stuff but didn't think the suns were that special tbh. But I've hardly seen the entire mod's universe.

Btw I did try to use planetary .SPHs for suns sometime, but it didn't work out well. Maybe I should try again.

Just make them less dense, like the one of the dyson sphere, by increasing the range. Use more trasparent textures for the exteriors.

There's a reason they call this genre sci-fi.

If it looks good, roll with it. Wouldn't be much of a game if you had plain black backdrops and no sound would it.

I thought they were quite clever when they designed this game, they disguised the shatty graphics by blending colours together to distract the eye from looking too closely at any one feature.

Or this one with mega sun far far away
