Real images look better than the fake FS2 ones if done properly.

A proto-system (stellar dust and asteroids and such circling a sun) as a background:

i like the first one best.
where did you get them then?
another job for the scp-animated backgrounds (has someone said that already?)
then there could be far more realistic supernovas. instead of enlarging pcx's.
Get the 2014 Media VPs and report any bugs you find in them to the FSU Mantis so that we may squish them. || Blender to POF model conversion guide

I have noticed that combining the usual nebula graphics with some photographs makes for a good background. The photos look great but cannot be duplicated (and still look right) and thus only cover up a part of the background, while the FS2-style nebula don't look as good but are able to cover up the entire sphere, so they work nicely together.

On a side note, these are a bit old and I have changed them around since I posted the thread, but check this out: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,8115.0.html
