Believe me--you're far from the first person to have trouble finding where to land in this mission. :p

That's why we need to retexture the Titans!
Fixed.

No. Matth's right, glowpoint lighting (which highlights the entry path much better) is a preferable solution.

the issue with textures is that is a unwieldy solution and requires texture replacements if you want to change anything which you then have to build for each different situation which is a lengthy process to do well.

With glow points producing light you then have a situation where you turn on or off different glows depending on what you want to do using a small number of sexps, and they would have the added advantage of working with nearby craft such as fighters landing/launching.
