This is an example of something I've run into:
I felt my excitement grow at the view, with “now THIS is a true alien world!” running through my mind.
Should the "n" in "now" be capitalized here or not?
Other examples I've seen don't address this since they either occur at the start of the sentence or have "I" at the beginning of the thought.
Thank you!

Capitalize it.
It's the start of an internal, quoted sentence. No different from this:

Joe looked at me and said, "How are you doing?"

For the sentence itself, I might split it like this (or edit further to put it in italics and take out the "dialogue" tag), but up to you!

I felt my excitement grow at the view. "Now THIS is a true alien
world!” ran through my mind.
