Have been rendering a the same thing (a full screen background) using two seperate custom campaign entities, so that when you swap between both systems, it should keep the same render, doing this to test some other things.

Doing so ive noticed that theres two frames in which the render function isnt called for either of them, which can give some off results.

Video of it below, you can see it with bare eyes and can see it stop rendering for the final frame in hyperspace and stop rendering for the first frame in the new system.

The screen actually fades out and then back in over the course of half a second (quarter second in each direction), so there'd be a frame or two where the viewport's alphaMult is 0, and the rendering code for a BaseCustomEntityPlugin won't get called in this case. I can see how this is less than ideal for what you're doing with it, though, i.e. rendering a background, which doesn't care about the alpha mult.

Edit: since it was easy enough, added:
CustomCampaignEntityPlugin.isRenderWhenViewportAlphaMultIsZero()
Defaults to false.
