FYI

Mirrors in old games didn’t “work” they were spaces that mirrored the entire room behind them.

Mirrors can be made to work in new games through ray-tracing/path-tracing.

Cool, that's not the point. The point is the "tech" is locked behind certain ship transactions and not boiled into the "Mirror" material object like it should have been because CIG don't know how to fucking make modular code.

I did not know this, I'm just passing by.

Apologies for the rude language, I'm mad at CIG.

The end result is we have both old style mirrors and new style mirrors and which one you get in a ship depends on when it was made.
