For the lighting are you rotating the directional light based on the player position relative to the sun (as there’s no way to simulate a giant point light right now) unless you’re not able to move “around” the sun? You should just use one sun to light the whole environment and set the light direction as player position subtracted from the sun position.

Yes its a light blueprint in the center of the solar system (its a sun mesh with a directional light in the center of the mesh) It just constantly updates and aims at the player/camera so if I visit any planets they are lit up and same goes for my ship or ships/stations nearby, basically it emulates how a sun would act in a solar system, since unreal does not have a omni directional light (they should add it!)
