Ok, I finally got around to testing this today. So:
1) Old worlds may have no lighting at all, has to do with the updates Solution: Make new world :)
2) If you used any other skybox to make your world, and then switched to a different one, the lighting will not change unless you make a new world.
3) The sun in DX11 in Distant Star is wrong and needs fixing
4) Tonemapping might be contributing to you seeing little difference in the lighting, try turning it off.

I'm gonna also try to clean up the vanilla skybox to look better in DX11 (i.e. get rid of the blue gamma)

I can confirm that this skybox/iighting does not appear any different from default in DX11

Odd, I'll have to check it out.

This doesn't seem to affect the lighting anymore in DX11. All three versions (this, regular, Darker Shadows) have the same lighting as default. The only difference is a slight darkening of the skybox.

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

@ElementZero Yup :) Cause there is still a sun...

Do metor showers work in this skybox? I know in some of the dark ones with no Sun they do not work because the metors spawn from the sun direction.

My friend who hosts the server managed to find out how to add the skybox :)

@quack Did you make sure to edit your world settings in game? You have to enable the mod for the world...

Whenever I subscribe to a skybox it never works, I always get the lame ass vanilla one in game :(

Most Excellent!!!! Definately be using this as my default skybox! While I like the other eye-candy skyboxes, this one really makes me feel like I'm out there in space, alone, and it also lowers the observablity of the asteriods to where They are hard to see, unless you're really looking for them.

Thanks so much for doing these extra mods for us all,
