I'm sure its a bug (the computer program kind, not the alien kind). Every interceptor I've come across out here in the current CG (Musca Dark Region) is less lit than the ones I've been blowing up before.
Musca Dark Region
Which refers to the color of the nebula. I knew someone would pop that one out.
This is what I expect to be the answer.Interceptors look different in different lighting. The lighting in Coal Sack is different from that in Pleiades or Witch Head.
