I see. The hangar has multiple light sources, preview window only has one. Preview has needed some love for a while. It should have the same nebulae that we have now instead of the old, dark one

but then why are some minmatar ships and caldari ships hard to see?

I think you're spot on about the one light thing, but the rest of the ships , even some of the ammar ones seem to be getting some kind of bounce light. For some reason this bounce light is lost on the ship in the preview window. : (

Maybe we should able to change the background of the preview window, and get 4/5 different presets for the lights, like in the character creator?

Or just add a bit more lighting with the background nebulae being that race's home system color hues...

I think it should be like the avatar picture setup. Load up any of the games nebula to preview the ship, with another option in sun direction.

minmatar are not yet v3. once everything is v3 they enable all light effects.

old ships react differently to light as new ships

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

note, the new ammar bomber reacts different than the pilgrim.

The new hound is too dark, but the new cadari raven is not

note I'm not talking about the texture itself, just the lighting. it's weird.
