Alright, here's the line-up.

Here is the Main Menu, and as you can see, for some reason, no background of space, planets or stars appear. It's just black.

This is the planet (or rather, lack there of) zoomed up all the way.

A second planet shot, moved to show it's position in relation to the main system star. Still nothing.

This is a zoom up on two scout ships (forget what Advent calls them) in the front, and a frigate and capital ship factory both directly behind them. All invisible.

Zoomed out shot of the entire system. As you can see, the icons are still working fine and well, as are the menu features, mods, options, and other aspects. I can, for what it's worth, still click stuff, and hear the response sounds you get for clicking them. However, as you can again see, even the space "wallpaper" with the teeny-tiny stars are gone. It's just this big nothingness.
Hope this helps.
