More of a visual upgrade but it would be cool to see the planets rotate and the stars have prominences and flares. Right now they are just static if they where animated it would give more of a living feel to the game.
Crying is not a proper retort!
sounds interesting... rotating planets is possible, with many more frames per planet...
solar flares could perhaps be incorporated into a timer on stars and a new effect or a new weapon would create them.
maybe have it target itself and use a tracking beam for a prominence?

What do you think those flashing lights on nav beacons are? It's just a simple two frame animation. A similar system would probably work very well for solar flares. I'd prefer some sort of weapon that was firing all the time, though, that happened to look like a solar flare. That might be kind of difficult, though.
X-ray laser! Pew, pew pew!
