I had an idea when trying out some mods.
Some, if not all mods I've tried out (I don't use them often, if ever, so this is a new thing for me) change up the backgrounds of the battle and campaign areas- a lot.
Sometimes if fighting in the vicinity of a planet or something, it will show up in the background. Well, why not take that one step further? Instead of a space background, maybe if you're even closer to the world or if you intervene at an outpost being invaded... or something... then maybe the entire background changes to the desert ground miles below the fighting ships? Maybe some factors could be added to spice up and differentiate fighting on the surface of a planet as opposed to in orbit or in space, like... hmm... some kind of speed modifier, or something, due to the gravity? I don't know, I'll leave that hypothetical idea up to the creators.
It seems like a simple enough addition, it's just a question of whether or not that is in line with the vision for the game, I suppose. Anyway, thanks for reading
