Ever since the last update that changed the background for the log-in screen....my Gorn toon appears in the dark....the ambient lighting dims when i select him at login and re-brightens when I choose all others....

Know issue, or unique? Should I report, or do they already know?

    Need your opinion on this one. I don't know what to make of this and don't have a Gorn to test with.

    It dims the lights for my Gorn too. I thought it was a bug, but seeing as how it dims going to the char, and brightens up stitching from, it almost has to be on purpose.

    Happens with my Gorn too. There may be some wierd ambient light setting only applied to Gorn character models (for whatever reason) when in what the game considers an 'editor display' - which probably applies to the character select screen.

    as to it being bug, who knows? Might be 'working as intended'. :)

    I was always of the impression that it's because my Gorn captain stands close to nine feet tall. (It used to get "foggy" on the old Qo'noS login screen whenever I went to him.)

    my main character isn't Gorn (she is an FED Alien) and this darkening effect happens to her too
    it seems to only affect my FED characters (non TOS or DIS) cause my Orion (KDF) doesnt get it but my Caitian (FED) does
    my TOS character and my DIS characters are unaffected

    I wonder if it is a combination of the height and the lighting model used. I don't have a Gorn to test it but the maximum height alien can get rather tall too but does not cause the darkening on my system (which is using the 2.0 lighting).

    I have noticed since originally posing this that there are other dark cut scenes as well..... the one where you rescue Shon after he flies into the undine ship is one....I wonder if the issues are related?

    Ohhh! i was thinking it was only me!.. but yeah, it does... but not just now, at least half a year!, its just that the background make it more noticeable..

    I just wished they'd fix the Gorn Very Rare Bridge Officer's to having two Superior Traits. Right now any that have only 1 will be changed to Rare (which is almost 99% of them) once you Commission them.

    Still it be nice for them to fix the Lighting issue issues, especially for Gorn on Login screen.

    On my ultrawide monitor this happens to every character except my Ferengi, who is at the minimum height. So it's definitely a scaling/character height width. Started happening a few months ago after a big patch.

    That should be around the time when they added the custom background for the tailor.
    Perhaps these two are related.

    Can anyone who is experiencing this bug check if it also occurs at the tailor. (maybe not an often visited place since the gorn have few clothing options)
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    This Blackout is clearly being done by the Gorn in a show of Solidarity to protest the ongoing genocide against their brethren on Nimbus III. We should all be moved to tears by this gesture.

    Now lets see what todays Endeavors are?
    1. Kill all the Gorn on Nimbus III
    2. Kill all the Gorn on Nimbus III Twice
    3. Do 99,000 Plasma Damage to Gorn (Ground)
    Ooo! a 3'fer! Lucky me.
