Thanks man, that means a lot! :) You're game is so nice, wish I could have gotten around to getting in weapons and something to shoot at.
The stars just 2 sphere particles. One is a full 3000 radius around the player with a few stars to add depth, then the other is 5000 radius, shell only. So it adds a bunch of stars that look distant. As you fly the distant stars make the soaring effect cause they spawn in quickly :)
