Windows on starships, player and map model ( Z-Fighting issue? )

So while being on ESD I've noticed a strange thing happening with the starships that orbit around the ESD map. As the starships move behind the outside of the station, the windows on the ships are visible through the hull of the starbase while watching the docked ships. You can clearly see the windows of the ships outside the station as they circle, I've outlined the window textures in a red square. You can see them moving, this is happening with all the starships outside the station but it's most noticeable with the Andromeda starship because of it's size. Though it's not visible through other walls, just the docking area of ESD where ships are parked it would seem.

As you move to the other side of ESD on the Operations side, where you can actually see the starships through the windows. You'll notice the window texture is once again visible through the nacelle of the ship, so something weird is going on with the window textures here.

You might need to open the pictures in a new tab to zoom and view them properly...

Interestingly enough as I noticed this bug I've noticed something else that's rather similar, they might be connected somehow. I play with the Galaxy Class starship and it has two models that's attached to one another. The stardrive section and the saucer section, this has never had any graphical issues before now, but the escape pods on the head of the stardrive section is overlapping through the saucer section, unless you zoom the camera all the way in. Then they disappear again.

It appears to be some kind of bug with windows / escape pods textures being visible through certain solid objects in the game? @engineerb4#4806
