Unlike my previous uploads, I actually made this skybox myself using Space Engine. It took an eon to build this sucker though due to the format being tricky to figure out.

An atmospheric Skybox featuring a planet similar to Earth. According to Space Engine it has multicellular life; perfect for space stations to observe said life.

Ships shown in previews: - Xhotl Station; originally Waypoint Station 6 by mcborge, heavily modified with lotsa mods by me. Original station is here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=265103397&searchtext= - Star Fighter; I made it myself, inspired by some of the other fighters on the Workshop. Still not 100% satisfied with it tbh.

Skin in previews: - Security skin by Animated Hero. Your skins are the best!

Update: I fixed two issues and doubled the resolution. First issue fixed: the giant reflection spot. Seems that Space Engine has a tough time rendering skyboxes over water, so I repositioned myself overtop of land. Yes, this means it's technically a different skybox, but it's the same planet. Second issue fixed: if there were visible lines before, they're gone now. I figured out that one has to rotate the images 180 degrees instead of flipping vertically. Also not really an issue, but I figured out how to disable the sun on this system in Space Engine, so now Space Engineers should have only a single sun on this skybox (the one all skyboxes have).
