Night Skies

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has ever thought of adding more stars to the night sky? I've seen a couple of pictures of the night sky with absolutely no light pollution, and it is marvellous as it would be. This is probably the best thing I can think of as an environmental mod that hasn't already been done.

Cheers

I had the same idea a few years back. Unfortunatly i found it was harder than at first glance. The stars are actually individually placed polygon planes rather than just a texture mapped to a dome, unless someone can figure a way to add a sort of background starmap texture to the black sky, it would otherwise be waaay to much work to add many more stars.
