Example of nebulae with 8-bit mask (lots of memory use, but runs fine on my 4 years old laptop)

The holes in the spider nebula are real holes and you can see the stars behind (nice effect when you move)

[EDIT]
Uploaded mod on xelerus for the guys that want to see the nebula ingame.

i'm working on another mod at the moment, and far away galaxies can be added in 2 ways:

as a station, like planet or the sun, but then it will stop the weapons.

as a spaceeviromenttype, and you have to play a lot with the parameters to have only 1 background image.
