Shameless plug: However, my graphics and UI mod Shiny! has in fact fixed that issue along with several others. Recently I realigned every console in the game to actually line up with the people manning them and changed a whole bunch of room images so they wouldn't block doors. I will be uploading v0.99 with these changes today.
Don't forget where that originated from, mind you. :p I'm curious now as to if this entails that literally every single room was aligned perfectly now, since the ones I did for the polish kit were just the ones that were blatantly inaccurate, and I would perhaps go back to perfect everything when I had a large enough time window to operate in. Right now though, I'm just keeping my eyes open on the greebles mod, since that opened up some extremely unfortunate graphical buggeries when introduced to the 'kit in regards to the alignment of not only the rooms, but the outline on the actual greebles themselves. I can see this being a nightmare to sort out, though.
The Shiny! mod has now incorporated a bunch of different people's graphic tweaks and I try very very hard to make sure they are given the proper credit. So much so that I reserved a second post just for credits and mod suggestions. I have also put in A LOT of work into it on my own though, and probably more time than I should have.
But really it originated from FTL Remastered, then you sent me everything you had done to try and complete the UI in the Remastered style (right when I was thinking about quitting). I am very thankful for that and I said just that in the credits of the mod since the beginning.
But anyway, yeah I realigned ALL the consoles and changed some of the positions of the crew sprites as well so they would line up with the consoles more. (It would have definitely been easier had you done it before me, but I got impatient...
) On the player ships the changes look great. I haven't really seen how the enemies line up with their consoles now, but I would assume it would be better than before, not worse. If you want to check out these changes and tell me what you think I'd appreciate it. v0.99 is up now.
And about the greebles, they are causing compatibility problems with other mods too, like the Randrel. I've just made them a separate patch for them for now. I changed all the ship .xml files to .append files that just change the floor coordinates using the mod-overwrite command. Hopefully that might help you somehow. A lot of people like the greebles, and no one has complained about them yet, so I wouldn't say they should be taken out of Captain's Edition. Unless Sleeper wants to make them optional. All compatibility issues will eventually be fixed with time.
