Sector fog diversity

Jul 12, 2022 HighTechRedneck link
I think there should be more sectors scattered throughout the 'verse that have fog that varies in color, similiar to Dau K-10, Latos M-7 etc. The reasoning would simply be aesthetic, it gives us something different to look at instead of just plain old "space". I always thought the fogged sectors in Deneb were pretty cool and I think if they were slightly more common(not too common, of course, as that would "ruin the charm" per se) it would make for a pretty small but interesting change across our lovely universe.

Furry fog = pinkish fog?

Personally, I think that the fog sectors, as they currently exist, are only *kinda* cool, as once you've grown use to the "being hidden" element fog brings, its really aesthetically... mleh? If more fog were introduced, I'd want the developers to first play around with translucent fog; sector objects would be hidden and fade in (maybe further out than in normal fog?), but you can still see system objects in the skybox. Subdivision Infinity is where I draw a lot of "this is what a foggy sector should look like" (Can post example screenshots if needed). For VO, I don't think it needs to go quite that far, but *aesthetically* the current visuals are just a little too lackluster alone.
