Sector Space-A smidge too dark

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Hey there! I am really enjoying Season 3, but one of the nicer features of sector space travel is almost impossible to notice. I'm reffering to the warp speed starslide (when the stars elongate and "slide" by your ship), with the lighting in sector space so dim you can't really see it :(. I thought I'd post here in hopes of either making sector space, or the stars that slide by a lil brighter. It is a really great touch, and I hope one that is "fixed" soon! :)

    Dark smark... They simply haven't flipped on the self illuminating hull switch.


    And its particles bouncing off your deflector. Not stars.

    I think space itself is fine. The ship has no lighting whatsoever. Not even additional lighting from quantum slipstream.

    Hmm?
    Think the self illuminating hulls is fandom. I did find a decent enough link. Just scroll down a tiny bit.
    People needed an explanation for the overly bright ships in the series.

    As for the star streaks.
    I dare ye to go near the sol system at warp. Get real close to it. And then try to explain the star streaks.
    But seriously... They are particles bouncing off the deflector field. Or warp field. Pick your poison.
    You really don't find fortyelevens stars in a nice tubular pattern when going from point a to b that is only 1 light year long. :p

    I can totally relate to that.

    But alas... Space is meant to be dark.
    Heck even the photos we get from NASA these days are lies. Only way space is overly colorful is if you use various filters.
