How's this for specs? A little bright but it was Sirius B which is a White Giant or something (fails astronomy)

Honestly, it doesn't look like the same game.

Totally agree. PC technology and BC game modding has come a long way since this game came out.

Funny, I have the p81/c2x Galaxy in one of my installs as well as many other "older" mods.

I now also have pretty much all the newest ship mods installed. The comparisons are staggering.

My BC installs are kind of a "journey through time". When I was a noob, I thought the p81 stuff (and plenty others of course) were incredible compared to the stock models.

Now look where we're at! The current BC Files POTD that DJ used as an example looks like it was a screenshot from the TV show.

Now imagine what Excalibur's game engine is gonna make things look...!

Try the Artrus system. Like so.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."
