The standard ceiling lamps in the sub builder create a sphere of light depending on the range given, but what if you can make it a cone of light, similar to a spotlight that only faces downwards. This way you can bypass the shadow casting lights feature, and greatly improve performance of large ships.
#Ship Lamps only point light downwards

basically, take the spotlight cone light model, make it wide and short, then reskin it as the base game lamp

my main issue with relying on modded items for key sub components is that if the mod breaks the sub is unusable. bit annoying given the time we invest in making them x)
