The stars in Freespace are completely stationary. But there is "space junk"
that provides a similar sense of motion.
In StarFire, the starfield only moves in/out when the player uses the speed
controls. Since this feature will have to be left out anyway, a static
scrolling starfield would be the most arcade-authentic.
Sooo... I guess you could have your kernel use HMOVE to reposition the star
on every kernel line, but only display it every 10 lines or so. This should
provide enough HMOVE's to let you position each star arbitrarily.
Err, or am I just talking out of my arse here? :)
