Ahh, right. Plenty of times i've nearly gone boom because I'm on a long haul somewhere in deep space and tired. Got used to throttling down on the 4 sec countdown now anyhoo.

Thank you for the hard work! Jumping in to test, if the controller issue has been solved.
Noooooooooooooooooooo

Oh I've just noticed this
This is not good news. Planets are too bright as it is anyway! When you approach a planet from the dark side and as you reach orbital cruise it suddenly gets much brighter, is a very jarring experience and one that I don't like.
It's the dark side of a planet, it should be dark!
Please make it so.

Why??
Well, technically they shouldn't be pitch black. It isn't pitch black on earth. But it is somewhat jarring the way it gets lighter, it needs to be much smoother. Hopefully the new lighting system in Q4 will help with that.
No point, I think - it's already slow enough to make waiting it out the inefficient method.
If I kill a clean ship in a FDL then I end up with Notoriety 1, and a sizable bounty.
I can clear that bounty instantly by attacking a station (at a cost of say 10 million in rebuy depending on loadout). I can then spend maybe 20 minutes doing some basic missions to earn that money back. Or, I can wait an hour and pay it off at IF for less.
With Notoriety 2 or higher then even in a full combat Cutter with a 50 million rebuy it's more time efficient to clear the bounty by dying, then do a bit of high-earning work to get the money back (since there are a lot of way to use a ship that big to earn well over 25M/hour), than it is to wait for it to just wear off.
So long as it stops people going kill-jump to IF-clean-jump back-kill in a short loop, it's enough.
Hallelujah!
Wuh? But I thought that was the point of notoriety? (maybe I'm missing something)
Interesting.
Yay!
Boo!
Yay!
Must remember to test that in 10 months time.
Thank the lord (I hope).
And in general, thanks Ed and co. for all the hard work. Looking good.
OK... This is part of a joke right?
LOL ... just catching up on the other comments here. This "fix" seems popular ... NOT!
Hm ... why if i may ask?
Because the earth as an atmosphere that scatters starlight and moonlight to provide a small amount of ambient light, this doesn't happen on airless bodies, it should be quite dark and areas that aren't directly lit by any reasonably large light source should be completely black. Also remember that you are seeing from ground level, the ground is quite dark when seen from above at night with no moon in the sky.
However it was to dark for some people. Personally I quite liked it, but that's me.
Problem is that 'planet surface lighting up' feature was glitching out though, and you can't really make it optional or introduce some sort of switch during beta for this. So while no one wants pitch black to go (well, us here on forums), we will have to wait for real fix in Q4 release.
why?

That was my reaction too, but check out the following line just after that one.
