Description

Results best seen in DX9!

Environment changes in Better Vanilla Sky :

) Fog color changed to black / Fog removed
) Adjusted the skybox to be less of an eyestrain with fog changes
) Sun size reduced by 40%
) Sunlight ambience slightly toned down
) Shadows adjusted (minor)

I love Keens new skybox...I thought it was about time they changed it.
I just have a few subtle improvements :P

New versions:
Darker Shadows
Distant Star

NOTE: Better Vanilla Sky itself has default max ship speeds.
For an all-skybox compatible speed mod, use Better Vanilla Speed

If you like it, don't forget to rate it ;)

Nice, really makes the game pop out, space should be black, not grey!

I put up a script that is compatible with all BVS versions and all other skyboxes:
Better Vanilla Speed
Large ship max is 128m/s and small ship max is 256m/s

I use this on my dedicated server. If you make a speed mod version, here is my vote for a small to moderate increase and that small ships get higher top end.

I'm fine with it, but if I decide to release a speed change version, I might ask certain people to remove their uploads. Keen kinda put skybox workshop additions in a really awkward and difficult place with not changing the way the environment.sbc is handled.

Now everyone and his mother with a different preference with speed changes is gonna want to have their own upload of their favorite skyboxes and it's just not practical.

due to todays patch to modify ship max speed and the problems that arise with mixing it with skybox mods i have published a combined version mainly for yse on my own server.
i am here asking for permission to use your mod in this way - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=371811772

Очень хорошая модификация, прелесть

Added more screenshots. I want to put up a 3-way comparison between vanilla, no-fog-vanilla, and BVS...
