[experimental 6.7.0 - tactical] UFO's glow in the dark at night

[Skitso]

If the UFO hull is a single texture that is either completely illuminated or completely dark, I think it might look better if it's full dark all the time. Illuminated ground tiles around the UFO also look fugly.

Here's a better look how bad it looks at night when the UFO outer hull tiles are "visible" or lit.

[Suroubureau]

Is it normal that as soon as you open the front door, the whole ship layout is visible? No shroud inside, enemies just popping out from a corner that I didnt see, but I didnt even see that I didnt see. (You see?)

Stopped playing for a few months, now returned. Did not see others posting this issue, but now I see its not just me.

Also agree that tiles under ufo shouldn't be lit.

Thanks for the report! Pretty sure this is a known issue that we'll get to fixing eventually, but will double check to make sure.

Can you send us a save so we can give it a look? There's currently a bug with UFO interiors being revealed that might be the same as this one, we're still working on getting this fixed.

Yeah, that is what most likely the case, but would like to make sure there's a possibility this might be a separate instance of the bug(just in case the shroud/fow is broken even if the door was not opened in enemy turn, etc.)

Umm, I mean you can get the save you asked for from there.

Ah! I see what you mean now!  That reply is directed towards the other poster though (suroubureau), as theirs might be a different bug (which again I suspect is not, but just in case I wanted to make sure, won't take that long to check a save to verify)

Sure, heres a save. For me, so far every UFO was revealed as soon as the door opened.
