The details look the same to me, you just don't notice them as much because the lighting is now correct. In the original they couldn't properly light it relative to the objects around it, it was brute force bright light all the time over the entire ship. In the new ones it's properly lit based on the objects around it, which is why it sometimes looks darker. There are shadows where there should be and the lighting is more subtle. Remember, in space objects are lit based on reflection from whatever the nearest light source is, usually the star for that system. That can be a good ways away.
