Radiosity in the void of space is probably making it fairly dark anyhow.  I was
talking of the lack
of sun-side brightness on the X-Wing, however I know it never seems easy to get a
light source to
shine on something like this the way you expect to see it, or way I expect to see it
anyway.
Reasons to me that you should be able to see a "clouds silver lining" effect, even if
this is
airless space, just not as diffused around into the shadows.  Even so, radiosity ought
to brighten
nearby shadowed parts which are glowing from lit parts.  Mainly it doesn't appear to
have any much
of any visible direct light showing, but that could only be so if the sun (star) were
in the line
of sight.
