Mustang: Wow! That looks absolutely amazing!

Celestial objects are so far apart, it's amazing we see anything at all. I guess what you are saying is that eye-candy demands you bend the rules of the real universe

If you look up at the sky at night, you see the sky full of stars. I don't see how making a pure black space background can be more realistic than a starfield; I would think that adding no stars would be very unrealistic.

and invent one that has eye-popping displays in view at all times?

The universe is amazing as it is, with plenty of "eye-popping" displays. No need to make anything up. Haven't you ever seen photos from the hubble space telescope?
