Attn Devs.

[Sanderson]

Can we have ships (NPC) turn on their lights when docking please? Small detail that would add a lot.

Thank you

(Strobes for docking / take-off would be brilliant too)

 

[Antidepressiva]

I agree. +1

Fines for going in dark to add the extra bit of immersion ?
jk

Cheers

 

[DYSEQTA]

That is a simple yet effective (and no damned obvious) suggestion

 

[JerryLove]

Agreed. Dark ship got me killed earlier today. That would have been a god-send.

At least T9's... those lurkers give me a start every now and then.

I guarantee that if this was added there would be a thread the very next day (or even the same day) with someone complaining "I was blinded by the AI's headlights and crashed my ship!"

Those are the people who'll never get a RL driving licence. Or at least they *shouldn't* get.

What an excellent idea. I might even start turning my lights on when entering the station. Doesn't matter so much leaving.
Although I have never had a docking death yet, sometimes when leaving a station it doesn't matter how hard you are checking the radar those truckers are just.... spookily ninja like.

 

[DCello]

Agreed (and this post should have been on the Gameplay and Features subforum).

Boost in. Boost out. No time for lights when I'm trying to break a cargo scan.


... those slaves won't smuggle themselves.

It is a shame that the stealth mechanic isn't more useful for smugglers. I do find I can usually smuggle without boosting but it is definitely the easiest way.

Remember the good times ?

I've used my lights for months now. Habit, even flash them when lifting off.

Guess I finally made the ignore list of every dev that comes to the forum.
