Space is kind of boring.

Space is kind of boring.

This game is a lot of fun but a lot of areas in space are just boring. And the parts of space that are different aren't really that appealing. For instance, in Sins there are areas with magnetic clouds, asteroid fields, wrecks, etc, but they're so...dull.

Is it possible to increase the special effects for these areas or something like that? Like make an asteroid field look as if it has giant floating boulders in space or even make the magnetic clouds or w/e they are called more dense in visibility/larger?

Or even, would it be possible to make it so that asteroid bases spawn in those kind of nebula-esque clouds? It would add some variety to the game.

I just need some direction on how to go about doing this. What do I have to do?

To give an idea of what I'm trying to do, I want to make something like this:

The Xtended Mod for the game X3 Reunion had some brilliant space scenes and special effects. Here is a link to show some of their space scenes, perhaps it can give you some ideas on how to make space more visually enticing:http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/gaming-discussion/24110-xtended-mod-x3-reunion.html i just read up on that game, never heard of it till now. does it run good with the patches and does it have widescreen resolutions? fyi there's a new one coming out Q3 2008. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/x3terranconflict/index.html

Yes it runs great. I am playing it with 1 mod and 3 scripts running. It also does support widescreen. Its one of the best playing and looking space games out there. Look up on Youtube for some awesome space scenery.
