Imagine trying to start your ship. And having to call the fuel rats for a boost!
I accept your challenge!
Now we just need left and right indicators. Don't want to be greedy, but a horn would be good to.
The SRV has lights?
Still no fluffy dice
Cough.. discovery scanner.. cough.. HONK!
Joking aside, this totally works. Not everyone may realise that your discovery scanner honk is audible to others. I use it quite a lot at outposts to alert pad hoggers to my presence!
Sorry but I'm going to have to get all OCD about a trivial thing... again.
So, to recap, we've currently got the landing-gear, cargo scoop and mass-lock idiot-lights down in the bottom-right of the cockpit HUD, we've got a bunch of damage warning lights near the ship hologram and now we're getting a ship-lights idiot-light in the top-right of the screen, near the "Information" panel?
And, meanwhile, we still have swathes of actual cockpit just sitting there, looking pretty, but doing nothing except blocking the view out the front of the ship?
Was this all designed by a descendant of whoever designed the dashboard of a Porsche 911 (a car famous for it's poorly designed dashboard)?
Could FDev not have gone away and created a proper little "panel" which contains ALL the idiot-lights and then fitted it into the console of ALL the ships?

i'd think most people would assume sound isn't transferrable in space. So I wouldn't expect anyone to assume that other people can hear their honk.
Instead, i'd assume other people may be notified of the honking ship's presence if it wasn't already because they were stealth or out of range via the radar.
But then what do i know about anything.

Be grateful .... it's better than a message mid-screen that says, YOUR LIGHTS ARE ON !
Ha ha. Sad but funny.
Be another 4 years before this comes out.
