Not sure if this is a modding related bug or an FTL bug. Maybe someone can help me test it while playing.

The computer consoles are grey when the station is unpowered and glows cyan when powered. If manned by a rookie crewmember the display is cyan, turns green when the cremember is experienced and finally becomes gold when they are a master. This works for piloting, engines and shields, but the weapons console seems bugged.

In weapons the color remains cyan even when the crew manning it has one level of experience and only turns green when they reach mastery. The problem doesn't seem to be in images because FTL stock images and custom sprites work the same. I cannot figure out why this is happening.

EDIT - I tried with the Red Tail in unmodded FTL, and the error persists. The weapon room incorrectly uses _glow2 and _glow3 images. I still can't be 100% sure that this is NOT a result of modding though.

Cursory test and glance at the code, I don't think it works properly for *any* of them. It only turns green when mastered for all systems for me, and never uses yellow. Strange.

Currently training crew. I get the same as Matthew.

Unpowered = grey
Powered & unmanned = cyan
Powered & manned (rookie) = cyan
Powered & manned (green) = cyan
Powered & manned (yellow) = green

All systems work the same for me.

Well darn, that is unexpected. I'm sure i got the yellow once... i will need to test farm some more. Its easy to test weapons not so easy to earn the other skills.

Thank you for taking the time to check it out guys.

If it helps, I have never installed any mods. Can't rule out that some mod has changed this behavior for you.

Thanks again.
It's my own Imperial Interdictor that i first used the custom glows on. While testing that one, i though i had the yellow glow. What Matthew says should disprove it, but i remember rotating several crewmembers in one room just to see all the colors and i belive i had all three. The images were regular FTL ones just rotated and aligned, and the naming was standard, so i must be remembering things wrong. It stuck in my mind because it was the first time i actually noticed what those colors were for.
