TVWP.

War in Heaven will have skyboxes of a number of Sol planets, but it may be a while yet before they're available.

You can grab graphics from TVWP, seriously.

Yeah, that's where I got most of the standard (non-terraformed) graphics for DoS, IIRC.
That, and ShadowGorrath's Sol: A History graphical enhancement...which is probably just the same graphics.

What size do you want?  I've got some pretty large images of Earth, the Moon and Mars, at least.  Texture and bump too.  PM me if you're interested.  Cheers!

In a few days you're going to see something that blows your mind, then.

I also just downloaded the Terran Vasuden war mod.Your right it does have some good sol planet backgrounds.Thanks.

Right now im working on a couple of missions in order to get better at Fred.There about the fate of Earth and are inspired heavily by the TOS BSG episode Experiment on Terra.Earth is now in a civil war with two sides going at each other.The Eastern and Western alliances.

After I do this mini campaign I may try and do a mod thats a continuation of the new BSG in the Freespace universe.I do know about BTRL and the Diaspora BSG mods but they take place during the events of the show and arnt a continuation.

Oh and ill be putting up a pic of my progress in a couple days.
