The lighting in ED is awful.
This is 2017, an era of amazing graphics cards, able to render hundreds of lightsources with beautiful soft shadows.
However ED appears to use point lightsources (even from a sun which takes up half the screen) and which flicks between the single closes lightsource. Even FE2 on the Amiga 25 years ago could render multiple lightsources!
No ships lit blue on one side and orange on the other, no eclipse shadows on the planet, planets' lighting suddenly popping into a different colour before your eyes, ugly hard shadows on everything. Come on FD, please get it together!
