... are making this game.

At 1:40 - Lancer, Cuirassier and Cataphract. All 3 are names I use for the Tiigran-Merisst bombers (to be released in the not very well specified SOON)
At 2:25 - a Shrike fighter is presented, although it looks different from the FS Open one.

Or is it all a coincidence and am I just going crazy?

This option is probably very outdated. I'd hit F3 lab, select a ship, select some background and start tweaking around all lighting options. I believe Exposure is what mostly interest you.

When you adjust the look of the game to your liking, create Lighting Profile for yourself. Not sure how to write that into commandline properties as it can be stored as a table in modern FSO. Just copy your desired values.

You can place such table in MVPs to apply for all the MediaVPs-dependant mods you play.

I just fired it up and tried it out.  Visually, it looks greyed out, but the arrow icons are still clickable, and the game will brighten or dim as expected.

No ships, no weapons, just a beautiful ingame background. Thanks to shiv and Nyctaeus for the resources.

Probably should have locked this originally instead of just snarking about it.
