Kerbal Space Program

This could possibly be feedback of "the black looks bad", but I think there is possibly a broken re-entry charring system malfunctioning here.

Problem:
After certain conditions are met during re-entry, the 3 spherical capsules from Making History will turn a strange vantablack in one instant. It's very jarring that your craft will flip to this color in a split second, whereas the heatshields have a much better fade-in to their charring effect. The black texture has got to be a bug, I just can't see it as being intentional as its so black, its like vantablack. See screenshot.

1. Take any of the spherical capsules and give it some kind of deorbit propulsion. Remove ablator.
2. Launch
3. Cheat to orbit around Kerbin
4. De-orbit
5. Watch the capsule flip its color to black at a given point.

Solution:
The solution depends on the intentions of the developer. I feel like this is supposed to be a gradually charring effect similar to the heatshields. In that case the fade is broken and it goes immediately to 100% charred vantablack. Perhaps it should only be applying 26% (or some percent <100) of that black layer over the regular grey texture to achieve a charring look.
