Room stations have a tiny screen that glows.

In "img/ship/interior/" there are three different colors for that glow.

• computer1_glow1.png - blue ( default )
• computer1_glow2.png - green ( two-star mastery? )
• computer1_glow3.png - yellow ( ??? )

Blue and green appear in this screenshot (compare weapons/shields), but what causes yellow?

Perhaps one-star mastery, and the glows were simply reversed by mistake?
I never paid close enough attention before...

I thought of that, but nope. See the weapons room below. Still blue.

The only time I notice station glows is when they're missing.

Horseman... that has to be the best thing I have heard in the Modding section of this forum in my time here...

maybe the 3rd glow is for when the system is ion'ed? or heavily damaged?

Nah. The station doesn't glow at all when damaged. Even when completely damaged and there's a fire.


Same with ion.

maybe cut content? there are quite a few of those flying around in game.

Quite possible.
I've been watching some Let's Plays at 2x speed and just watching the glows, to no avail.

IIRC the green glow is for one-star crew, and yellow glow is for two-star crew, however this was bugged in FTL 1.03.1. Didn't they fix it in 1.03.3?

Interior console glow fixed to display correct colors for crew levels.

So I wasn't going insane....... I thought that was the case but there was screenshot 'evidence' above and I got confussed
