Are there any "dark" Galaxies?

from Sins Forums
Every map I've played on so far is lit up by some distant star. I guess you could compare it to Bespin in Star Wars. I also tried to make a custom map of a dark galaxy with no luck. Are there any galaxies that are dark like space is supposed to be? What factors make the Galaxies I've seen so far light?

Well, I believe that the farther you zoom out, the darker it is. On the current (only real?) game I've been playing, though, the backdrop is almost a dark gray/black
and white. So there seems to be a good range of variety, going by what I also read here.

There are dark skyboxes. You can turn off the lighter ones in the Options (Effects section I think).

There are definitely dark ones. They're annoying, too, because it's very hard to see asteroids on a black background.

I saw that option but wasnt sure exactly what it meant. So the skybox is the background? In the options both the dark and light skyboxes are checked. I unchecked the light one and nothing happend. Do I have to start a new map for it to take effect?
