Changing the skybox

[Scortch2000]

Could we get the option to change the sky box in game the same way we could with the last game?

[Nongenti]

I think there is a way to enable / disable to dark space skybox?
Otherwise I think recallign that there can be skybox preferences when creating or modding maps with Solar Forge, but can't give details since I have yet to dive into it.

Yup, there's an option we added in a previous update in the game's settings. Use Dark Skybox I believe it's called.

The option is great but not as good how it is in rebellion. There you can change it while playing, dont know why its not possible in sins 2.

There are several things wich is include in rebellion and not in sins 2, why you change running systems ? Not talking about balancing, its just the settings i mean.

I was more looking to change the sky box in the middle of the match I vividly recall being able to do that in the first game, and I think it would be nice to do that here.
Also the sky boxes in this game are BEAUTIFUL, my compliments to whomever made them

Well...
I am looking for Lighter Sky-boxes (not dark)
Like those with a colourful albeit whitish Nebula ?

If you're familiar with the workings of SolarForge, try using skybox 18, it's the brightest one of the bunch and it sounds like the one you're describing. Other bright contenders I would suggest are skybox 12 which has a light minty tinge; skybox 9 is kind of like 18 but not as bright; skybox 15 has a more orange sherbet look to it; skybox 10 has a nice Lisa Frank-esque look to it, and skybox 17 reminds me of looking at an egg through a flashlight on the opposite end.

it's more or less the background.

the 'only dark skybox' option gives a completely dark skybox with none of the good looking ambient lighting, tried it and never using it again

if only there was an option to at least pick the skybox from the 'create new game' menu
(or better yet, an ingame switch)

quite often find myself restarting a new game due to the skybox being the wrong colors
the problem is the new game menu forgets *all* the settings, like teams, ai enemies, etc
it's a major pain to restart a match (wish it could reload the last settings)
