Those suns are perfect, Lightspeed. You might want to make 400% sized versions as well for actions closer in to the primary. I really cannot find any faults with them.
Suns are scaled by the game (in the FRED background editor). The image itself is high-res enough for suns that cover your whole screen. Big enough?
Will you be making juggernaut versions for the FS2 campaign?
I think the sathanas are without a sun - its just the fleet with transparent background. I could do some better versions of them though (with spec mapping, glowmaps, and alpha transparency)

that's true, but your eyes do it some, too.
Thats the FS2 blend effect (screen going white) - The window is probably toned somehow which prevents the light from directly blinding you.
A couple of non-conventional stars would come handy though for some special missions - I know those people should make their own art, but Homesick has clearly shown, that some people can just FRED at their work and make something awsome.
Well, I could probably make some
I also had planned for making a 'supernova capella' where you can see the green sun behaving oddly. The prob with animated suns is that i'm limited to 256 colours, so I'm exclusively going to use it for capella.
As for other suns, I might throw in some special ones, but that'll prolly be later on
