The stellar corona effects you're seeing use procedural generation and artistic design rather than actual physics. Get close to any star system and you'll notice color transitions controlled by custom lighting algorithms, not real plasma dynamics. These effects work alongside atmospheric hazard indicators, which is particularly useful when approaching new systems.

The color-shifting fog and chromatic filters help identify different biome types, while also creating those impressive space vistas you'll spot during exploration. During major cosmic events, the corona effects become more pronounced, making it easier to spot anomalies from a distance. This design choice works better for gameplay purposes, since actual stellar physics would be far less visible or useful for navigation.
