I heard a couple days ago that the FO team will be separating the graphical effects of nebulas from their ship effects. I have a few questions about this:
* will we be able to make dust fields slowly erode any ship that enters it?
* will we have the option of being able to make nebulas that you can place stations in?
* are there going to be new nebula graphics?

I was also wondering, if we will be able to set the strength/value of the effects in the map editor?

and to mnualy modify the avoidanve radius of nebulas. At the moments ships will not passs through a nebula alley, if there's a way around it.

you guys should have a look at thishttp://armada2.filefront.com/file/Midnight_Universe;85183 I think it would be to your liking.  Also at least read the added features in the displayed readme.  It talks about damaging dust clouds

Of course we have plans to do more space backgrounds and better graphical effects, however we do not like to stick with that default armada stuff, we have something else in mind, but that will take quite a while  for now the current mapobjects will do

I like the background graphics used for star trek encounters... especially their background effect for the badlands.
