The beauty of Space Dust! [MOD]

Cause space is dirty!

from Sins Forums
Well I was bored, so I decided to play around with the DustClouds.dustcloudsdata file.

You might have noticed in your games once in awhile you will come across a dust cloud, well I wanted to see what the game would look like with lots of dust clouds. I think it looks nice and dirty, like space should!

Pics of what the changes I made look like :






The changes made to the data file (before and after) :

Before:

Give it a try if you are bored, this along with my modded debris file makes space even more beautiful. Especially after a battle!
