Taking a break from icons and things to do another big one.
The original has the problem of being entirely matte, which definitely isn't what crystals actually are, but trying to differentiate reflections on the inside from facets on the surface is really hard and I'm kind of regretting starting this. Still, I need to get the style down so I can finish off those weapons.
The area in the lower left actually looks like a crystal. I kinda never paid attention to the crystal stuff in FTL, since it kinda looked cartoony, but compared to your work it really doesn't look good.
If you keep this up, I'm going to have trouble looking at vanilla FTL because you're making the original look so ugly.

I agree. Other than the lower left section, I think I liked the original crystals better. No comment on the metallic parts of the ship, though.
Your alterations are really impressive. I love the more realistic tones on both the ships you presented. Could you include Kestrel (and any other finished ships) in the next update?
Also, here's the respectful nod <nod>! I'll try to donate something when (if) I have anything on my paypal.
You did something wrong or you have other mod which also alters Kestrel's look. FTL Remastered is the only mod I use and the engine room looks properly (in your image it's inverted). Also, your system icons are wrong.

However, in the engine room, both the glow and the workstation are nowhere near the image of the console.

^ I think that might be right. It's still fine on my end, and none of the versions I've uploaded even have the floor images in them, so it shouldn't be something from this mod, unless there's something weird going on under the hood somewhere.
