RT's latest exe, a '_r' build, p3 866, 256MB RAM, Ti 4600, Win XP
I noticed this playing Homesick and it happens with or without the .vp. In this test mission there's a Sath ~4 km in front of me but obviously it doesn't show up. If I target it and start moving the subspace pof sort of slides away and the backgroung is just black. If I stop targeting it looks like this again.

Sounds like the "background POF centered around targeted object" issue, though I thought this had been fixed.

i pitched a solution.  its a little hackish

I reported this a while back and was told it was to do with the skybox code.

@Phreak: er... where?
EDIT: nevermind, found it

[redsniper]

This is from Phreak's build. The background no longer slides off when I target something. As you can see I'm colliding with the Sath and it can't be seen even though it's targeted.

it also needs to have alpha blending applied and the z-buffer turned off

Its a known problem with skyboxes and subspace in HT&L. Still waiting for this to be fixed

The skyboxes center on the targetted ship, and the subspace thing has the weird ray effect and is rendered on top of everything (making you blind).
