The texture was chosen to provide a distinctive look. I do have ships with
a more metallic, panelled surface - if two ships look completely different,
it helps with telling them apart in an animation. You should have seen the
earlier versions of this one - talk about vomit-inducing colours...

Thanks! Blobs are great. I like blobs. And sphere_sweeps, too (they make up 
the arcing sections with the blue "energy" texture in the centre). However,
I've found that those objects do make realistic hull damage hard to do in a 
quickly-rendering fashion, on the downside.
