   I think you're right; just before I posted the image, I re-rendered it 
without the assumed_gamma statement which made everything darker and 
maginified the color differences.  I need to play with the colors more, no 
doubt.  Is the 'shape' of the texture looking ok though?  I thought about 
making the 'panels' bigger, but I want the thing to seem huge at first 
glance.  The central (rotating by the way) part is supposed to be a couple 
kilometers long.
   I'll be putting in some near and far ships to give it scale, by the way, 
but I think it will make it look better if the station can stand on it's 
own.
