It would be nice if its possible to update the background texture of the geoscape with a higher resolution texture to get rid of the \"blocky\" stars. I attached a texture i made a while ago. I got also a higher res texture (2024x1024 but its 514 kb large and i cant upload it here).

Well the last time i tried it, the geoscape crashed and thought it needed some code stuff. But it seems to be fixed already. Sorry, i totally forgot to mention it.

I uploaded the texture as png and removed the old file.

Should I compress/optimize the png and apply this to master ?

I posted screenshots in the forum (2.4 Artwork in action) showing two variations of the new background and attached the textures to the post.
