#DeepestBlue map screen lets you see what is in known sectors. You can zoom out to system level or galaxy level, You can use it to set a destination for the current ship.

#DeepestBlue Here is an example of an in game nebula. It has a couple of layers that swirl slowly. The shader picks off RGB layers from an input image and plays with them changing scale colour, relative rotation etc then recombines. So it can get many effects.

Ive been adding a cloud shader to Deepest Blue. I wrote my own editor so it is easy to use my data and models. It can compile, show errors but has no debug. I am used to writing a shader, commented out most of the lines then adding back each line sending the output to the colour to check range.
