Just a physics note:

Large flat surfaces are really hard to pressurize in space.  They tend to
bulge outward, that's why we see a lot of curves, spheres, cylinders, and
greebles on spaceships.   Squareishness is really useful for stacking lots
of objects, but it's not that useful for anything else, especially in the
unconfined reaches of outer space.

I would suggest that you surround your running lights with small spheres of
the same color as the lights.  See "looks_like" in the help.

Good effort... Please keep posting.
