when u destroy the Orion station, the debris pieces have the original Orion texture, which features external lights on

when the station gets destroyed, the lights would go off

Imagine it as internal fires. If not then just imagine it as a "feature"

The lights are left on so pilots don't run into the debris

Yeah, each standard EA light unit has it's own internal power source, so they'll keep working even after the demise of the construct they're stuck to.

There is only one way to turn off all the independently powered lights at the same time. In each EA installation is a central master, decommisioning shut-off switch. This swithc is genetically encoded so that only one EA tech has the ability to shut down an installation. His only job is to go around decommisioning things. He doesn't have to work very often, but he has a good union and is very well payed.

He can bee seen in Sleeping In Light.

I will definitely put this on my to-do list, and give it the priority that it deserves.

On the other hand... glowmaps remain "on" too, I guess? Taking them off from debris shouldn't be too much trouble.
