Dark Skies

Description
"Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence!"
-- Dr. Leonard McCoy

This mod changes the skybox in most solar systems to be darker and more realistic. The vanilla skybox, which is filled with colorful gas clouds, will now only appear in systems located within nebulae. Systems inside the L-Cluster will have a completely black skybox, since the cluster lies outside the galaxy.

Should be compatible with most mods, although mods that change the appearance of stars and system maps may be incompatible.

Could there be some way to make most (perhaps over 90%) skyboxes be dark and have the remaining ones be from Immersive Beautiful Galaxy? That'd be wonderful, as that mod is majestic at the same time extremely invasive in my opinion... and nothing beats the sheer cold of utter space that this mod offers.

lost this mod and forgot the name of it, remembered the quote, searched "leonard mccoy" and immediately found it

My bad completely, it looks like when running Dark Skies in conjunction with Black Galaxy Sky (which shouldn't overwrite system skies?) it turns every skybox black, but this mod works fine without it.

@DaslyG It works on my end, try uninstalling and reinstalling? Also check your graphics settings; on the lower end the stars may not be clearly visible.

When adding this mod the skybox for every system is just black.

@chernobyl What does it look like outside the ship designer? Is the cube visible there?
