I'll give it a shot.  Won't reinstall my operating system though because that is quite the pain.  I'll tinker around though with the settings and see what I can do.

 

EDIT: Directions unclear, set my computer on fire.

 

So I redownloaded, reinstalled, dicked around with the in-game options and I'm still left wanting in regards to the textures.  The base game doesn't have the problem, but it seems to be only with PR (I'll hit up Thrawn's Revenge to confirm) that the textures seem to show no improvement between low and high settings.

No, it's perfectly normal to have a graphical error in a game, millions of people have similar problems. If you feel foolish or depressed because of this, please call the gamer-abuse-lifeline 800-4-FUCKTHISGAME (free of charge from the US) immediately.

I think you should start tinkering with your graphic settings (resolution, detail level, software/hardware acceleration) through the autolaunch window (I think there's an option for that) and in the ingame options. You could also try to uninstall, redownload and reinstall PR, wait for a new version of PR (it'll probably come in a few months), try another mod and see how the textures look there, update your 3D driver or if nothing helps, reinstalling your operating system as a last resort.

Respectively, the answers are: yes, yes, yes.  Any suggestions for the wrong graphical setting?  Am I just a foolish fool?

Did you play the game on the same pc before? Was it ok back then?

Did you try to fully reinstall the game? 95% of the time it solves the problem. If it did not, its probably a wrong graphical setting, graphic card driver incompatibility or maybe a direct x issue.

While my recollection of how good or bad the base game's textures were; they seemed passable upon loading up the game.  As in, noticeable difference between textures set low and textures set very high.

Nope, especially because it could be the very reason for texture failures, which makes all ship textures green. It can be solved however.

Do the textures look wrong in the vanilla game too or is the problem limited to PR only?

Should I if I haven"t?

Did you ever install the map editor?

Title gives you the gist of the message; I am, experiencing trouble with the game loading textures.  Primarily for space craft.  Everything else works fine visually: lasers, bloom, heat effects etc, but there are no textures loading up at all.  Just wonderfully smooth skins.  I'll follow up with a screenshot later tonight when I get home from class.
