Hello, I was playing a game on the "galaxy far away" map, (the star wars galaxy large map) as Imperial warlords, I chose Thrawn as my faction alignment, however when I built the Knighthammer I noticed none of the ship's textures loaded in, the model is there, but it's a smooth grey.

Here's my mod list, from the Enabledmods txt file.

"INT SinsRe"
"E4X SinsRe"
"E4X BGM Enhanced Graphics"
"E4X Non-Vasari Phase Gate"
"E4X Max Starbase Upgrades"
"E4X Infinite Research"
"Star Wars Interregnum Beta 1"
"Enhanced 4X Mod 1.86"
"SinsRemastered-v0.94b"

Hi Sebanet,

This might be by design. The Nighthammer is described in the lore as having basically Stealth Bomber like plating. In the remastered mod which you are running, it has a very streamlined, smooth hull that can actually reflect light off its surface the same was a stealth bomber does. I can't say for sure without seeing a screenshot, and it does lose a little bit of the blackness in Remastered due to how light works in it, but Dolynick, our texture artist says it would probably look like that in real life. For reference:

Oh I know how it looks in game, I've played before a number of times with the Knighthammer, but while it is meant to be dark and reflective, it does have a noticeable and beautiful texture. Here's a screenshotimage 2021 06 22 145841.

If you think the texture isn't loaded, it's probably because the game has reached the memory limit and is having trouble swapping in the larger texture for the Nighthammer. Either save and reload or knock your ship texture detail down a notch, give it a minute or two and notch it back up. The game will re-assess what needs to be loaded into memory immediately and if the Nighthammer is onscreen while it is, it will definitely load it.

Do a reload that will fix it, ORRR, in my case... it seems after I upgraded my memory to 32gigs I no longer have long term texture issues with Sins, nor do I have crashing in games when I play Advent, or play in maps exceeding 6 players (It's weird. But I think it was do to the fact idling my PC was using about 8-10 gigs of memory)
