Darker Space (v1.02)
This mod creates a deeper, more immersive interstellar environment by significantly reducing indirect lighting in space, resulting in natural, dark shadows on the shaded sides of planets. It also disables dust particles and clouds that appear in front of the camera, providing players with a more cinematic, "true void" experience with rich blacks and no visual distractions. Additionally, the camera exposure in space is reduced by one stop, ensuring that white ships don't appear overly bright.
Compatibility This mod only adjusts the LUT and camera settings for the galaxy cell, so it will work seamlessly with any existing save game. It’s also compatible with any skybox replacements, such as milky way overlays. However, it will (obviously) conflict with other mods that modify space dust or adjust the same camera settings.

This is a small enhancement but a meaningful one to me. I like space being darker so the stars stand out more. I think Bethesda had too much ambient light in areas, so this helps with that in space.
