I think the person who decided "We're going for a clean look to our station, let's go with pristine reflective white!" needs feeding into the same canisters that the station exports its biowaste in.
Meanwhile I had station replay messages droning on about safety and a woman in clipped tones telling me in my ear that my speed was unacceptable for safety reasons and that I should make way for larger vessels (in a type-9).
I could not see anything. I could barely see the HUD, and I had to hover over about three different landing pads that weren't mine before I got lucky and angles and contrast along with a barely distinguishable direction marker highlighted that my bay was not where I was.
Then shortly after I heard the station lasers pew pewing a helpless NPC, who I'd like to think was trying to recover from the sheer brilliance of this station's paint scheme.
Maybe it's a racket. They blind the pilots so they can't find their bays, then shoot them up and collect the scrap and commodities without having to pay the poor sod who was bringing them in.
I mean, it makes sense I guess, this is the empire, a place where a station can sell the most advanced commercially available empire vehicle doesn't have access to A class modules for a sidewinder..... For shame....
I have been to vaguely white colour schemed stations before and there was a bit of glare, but I entered the hangar and turned off my lights and it was just the purest white I've ever seen in this game. And with the station lights already being considerably bright I suppose the lights and this colour scheme just made a ball of light. I suspect bug, but I kind of like it, as with the head-canon before I think it adds a bit of Utopian sleaze to the game. Seemingly pure and innocent, but for deliciously evil reasons.
