PSA - Switching off Lighting 2.0 reduces the painful brightness in ESD

One of today's surprises is someone installing a ton of high power LED's all over ESD. For anyone else who's struggling a bit with it, switching off Lighting 2.0 reduces it to more normal levels.

Hopefully it get a bit brighter on console too. We don’t have 2.0 and shit is fuckjng dark. Klingon FSB is pitch black.

Actually, all consoles have is 2.0. Lighting 2.0 was made specifically for consoles when STO got ported over. PC gets it as an option because the console version exists.

Be that as it may, it doesn't work on console. Areas like ESD and KSB are too damn dark.

ESD got new smart meters fitted during the update and Quinn has been turning everything on to watch the little display go up.
