And I'm talking about Descent 3 here ! Of late I've been working on a small MOD project for Descent 3 for ASSAULT Multiplayer, which brings a rather interesting set of basic, but exciting levels .. Instead of talking more, I'll just show you here.

Pretty cool, but... that's one starry sky.

You try getting a 360* starry sky to render in a FPS game

Depending on whether it's mapped or an algorithm in the program (or a side database), sure.

I-War2 does this very well, actually. It maps a sort of sparse star map on an arbitrarily large cube. In front of this, a burn-out pattern is set. When the camera keeps its heading delta below a certain threshold, the denser, bright map becomes visible. The effect is both realistic and lovely.
