Galaxy Class = Lighting 2.0 / Weird pattern on Deflector, possible glow issue.

Hello,

First of I'd like to say that I love the Lighting 2.0 but after that update was implemented the Galaxy Class now has a weird color on it's deflector dish. It almost looks like something white and sticky has gotten stuck. It disappears / returns to normal when you go back to the old light system.

It's like that on all the variants but it's most visible on Type 2. The main type for the Galaxy Class.. It appears on Thumbnails and the character screen also.

I'd love to see this fixed, thank you!

Below is a picture from before the Lighting 2.0 update, as you can see the Deflector Dish does not have the weird bug.

    This is still an issue today.

    It also effects a great number of other ships such as the Nebula Class, Centaur, Akira, Steamrunner, Excelsior etc.

    Fixing it would be too much work, and they'd much rather break more things instead to keep the bug-fixers distracted from existing problems.

    They really need to hire more people to work on bugs sometime...

    Sorry to breathe life into such an old thread, but it's really disappointing that this issue is still present. I've previously submitted a couple of in-game bug reports and submitted a support ticket on the website. The former seem to disappear into the void and the latter instructed me to perform the former.

    While I have no intimate knowledge of Cryptic's game engine, surely this is a relatively easy thing to fix?

    It's actually a bug on all ships that use this material, it's even present on ships that were created AFTER the bug. Such as the New Orleans class etc.

    So it surely it should be given a little more of a priority, since it's clearly a problem with the textures themselves, rather than just the Galaxy? It's quite a disappointment, since the deflector is quite an eye-catching feature and my eyes are always drawn to this broken glow whenever I see the front of my ship.
