Animated textures are supported in 2142, so you don't even need an animated skybox, just panels with a moving star animation outside windows.

Secondly, I believe the teleportation is possible using Python.  Not 100 percent sure, though.

huh? Animated Textures (blink or gifs) are possible?. I thought it wont work because the Texture layers concept in the bundledmeshes dont support this.

Yes it is possible to code a teleporter in Python. A well known Dev and Supercoder developed that earlier..
But i dunno if it´s possible to place a teleoprter code on a moving Capital ship. So that you will be teleported into a hidden Capital Ship interior,  maybe decorated with this animated windows you suggested. Once you enter the Hangar on this "Static-Interior" you should be teleported safety back into the Moving Capital Ship. Maybe  locked in a Vehicle/Fighter to prevent lag and glitching coming from moving around on a moving ship.

Re: Tantive IV

Hmm, not sure actually about the static objects using animated textures...all I know is the HUDs use them.

As a workaround, you could throw a starfield texture on a cylindrical mesh, and just have that rotate beside a window slowly, to simulate movement.

Animated textures are possible. Its just a material.

Re: Tantive IV

I heard some talk about teleporters awhile back... But I thought they said they couldn't use them/hadn't figured it out....

I remember that teleporting was possible even using the comm rose as a way to initiate it.  It's possible, but I wouldn't want to try to work it out w/ code without Woody.
