Fred has been hard at work and managed to get a new "Fake" Lighting system into the game
This is an update to the Testing Branch.
It will become public in a few days if there aren't any major issues.
Essentially, this is a Shader which change the appearance of the texture based on ambient light. They also support all colours
We have 2 shaders




This is what the layer looks like

The black background essentially means there's nothing to change
You can create your own in the same way you create textures.
There is no way to toggle it off at the moment
so if you wish to have a dark version of the ship at night, I strongly recommend you create a layer without those fake lights added in.
