You don't like to give us pictures do you?

Wellll, there's not really that much to give pictures of. The background is now all-stars, where before some systems would have nebula backgrounds and such that made it difficult to see what the grids contained. The suns, which previously shone brightly many hexes away from the origin, making it difficult to see the hexes adjacent to it, now shines far less.

It doesn't actually change the look of anything, it just removes some annoyances.

Buuuut, for your convenience I'll at least put up a screenshot of the difference between the suns.

Subtle changes, but the hexes around the suns are much more visible now! Thanks!

You're welcome. Those things were bugging me to death, figured I'd share the convenience.

The pictures make it extremely worthwhile to decide on whether to use this or not before downloading. Is this compatible with Fyron's FQM? Those multiple star systems make a huge glow.

You're right, the comparison screenshots weren't a bad idea.

It should be fully compatible with FQM, and to my knowledge any other mod out there at the moment.

A number of my ideas seem to be meet with skepticism or a "what's the point" type of view. Not that I take insult to any of them; I'm just saying. In the long run they usually pan out for enough members to make them worthwhile. Maybe I'm not as nuts as some of you think!

Oh and by the way, give me that silver star he-he-he-he
