I solved the problem by loading the offending images into Paint Shop Pro and using Automatic Contrast Adjustment. This typically lightens the ship by increasing the contrast - particularly if you use Darken (far right).

Your ship set guys -- remember that space is a very high contrast environment not a medium contrast environment such as we enjoy on Earth. Almost all of you are shrinking available graphics without regard to contrast adjustment and or image SHARPENING.
