I think the textures r really good, it's just that in freespace u can't have lights which would make it look better

The washing out of textures is A) Can't be helped B) Really just part of the picture and dynamic lighting in the game will change things a bit.

Its also less noticeable when your flying around

Try using multiple layers and do some touchups and blending to make the two layers seem less like two layers and more like one image. Decide what colors you're going to use in the background and place a light on that side of the ship so that it looks that way.

You can have all kinds of fun
