📋 About This Mod
This mod simply material swaps some of the light white/gray plasticy materials which cover most of the UC Vigilance's Interior with some darker plastics and metals, adding some intrigue and character to the ship, inspired by sci-fi movies in general and the dark and moody atmosphere of military submarines (in movies at least).
There's also a slight change in lighting on the bridge, I've removed most of the fake lights for a more realistic and again more moody look.
I highly recommend pairing this mod with UC Vigilance Visual Overhaul, which gives the exterior a gritty rework in a similar vein.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Easy drop-in for atmosphere lovers—just install and get that noir spaceship feel.
- Ultralight means it won't tank your framerate like some heavy overhauls.
- Decent traction for a niche mod (42 endorsements, 6.4k downloads).
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the UC Vigilance—if you're not spending time there, it's wasted space.
- No compatibility notes, so it might clash with other interior overhauls or lighting mods.
- Cosmetic only—no gameplay changes, so if you want more than a moody vibe, look elsewhere.
For Starfield players who love roleplaying as a gritty space captain and want the Vigilance to feel like a scene from Alien or Blade Runner. Skip if you're after gameplay tweaks or if you rarely visit that ship.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple texture/lighting mod, you can install it manually by dropping files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex makes it easier to uninstall.
- If you use other lighting mods, load this one after them to ensure its darker look takes priority.
- Check the mod's comments for any reported conflicts with popular Starfield mods before installing.
