Sorry for bad english...
Me too after play Eve 14 day trial, have start a similar program whit Blitz (single player).

So are start from stellar skydome.
Whit Universe (Diard Software) i have make a 2048x1024 texture whit stars and nebula (6Mb)..and on pole of sphere, the stars not look good.

So have make 2 sphere...the first whit a 256x256 star only and scaled, the other sphere whit a 2048x1024 texture whit nebula in central horizon position (.Tga so whit mask), rotate 90 degree for cover hole pole on the first sphere (no hole in second sphere if you leave pole texture black only).

The result is very similar to Eve background.

After, for any stellar system (zone) you can make 3D planets, meteorite, bases..ecc..

But is a very long project..yes, can make quest automatic from agents...can make casualities events...can simulate merchants...but need also a storyline, a end...and a lots of graphic work (objects 3D).

Good work..
