Cargo Module Texture?

[Aesir Rising]

Been playing with non-standard ship designs and came up with something I like - to serve as a dedicated trader ship. This ship puts the cargo module at the nose of the vessel, to aid on/off-loading. Plus it looks good, in an ugly utilitarian transport kinda way.

But I noticed the top surface of the cargo module is afaic, the only surface of any of the ship modules that looks entirely black, and devoid of texture.

Screenshots aren't telling the story because I keep running into issues with shadows or lighting an an inability to zoom in close enough to really tell. Here's an attempt to show what I see. Click it for a larger view.




But go to the hanger and mess around with the cargo module. Is it missing a texture on the top surface?

The top looks pretty black, shiney, and smooth to me. Doesn't fit the look of the rest of the cargo module, nor any other ship module, nor any ship.

Maybe it should be re-wrapped?

I think that's the Monolith texture from 2001.

Lol, Marvin!

"My God, it's full of stars."

"Uh... No... Actually it's full of diamonds and platinum. They do sparkle though, don't they?"

[Marvin]

Indeed, they do.
