I just noticed this in the patch notes:

+1 TOO dark

I suppose the problem is that everybody was complaining that the space in Horizons was too bright with a lot of space dust and such. So the developers darkened it for Odyssey. But then you end up with a very bright cockpit and the HUD that stands out too much from the background. So they darkened the cockpit and HUD to match the space better. Unfortunately, everything is now quite dark. If you play only at night in a dark room then it's fine I guess? But for me it's very hard to actually read the HUD and the bright stars are like needles to my eyes...

too dark it is

 

[ferus]

Nope, not fixed here.

Well, they seem to have done something . Nebulae show up now, brighter than before.

I don't know, they did something because the skybox gets real bright when away from the star, like brighter than Horizons.

On top of that. I do like the darker lighting, but I am all for an option to increase brightness for those who don't like it.

I can barely read my Hud and i turned gamma all the way up.

I agree, if some people like it as it is then keep that as an option. There is in game gamma settings but even turning that up to max the game looks like it does in my video. Maybe they can make that setting the minimum on the gamma and let the gamma go up WAY higher? Not sure how that would look though.

Ideally I think it would need to be a separate setting for something like 'Enable ambient internal lighting'.

Space, dark, never....

Instead of hard-coding it into the game, why don't they just add a Brightness+Contrast slider under the Gamma and everyone can set the game to their taste, monitor etc.

You know at your home, if you stand in a room at night, open the curtains and look outside? Of course it's dark outside, but if you turn the lights on in the room you are standing in, is it just as dark in that room?

"Instead of hard-coding it into the game, why don't they just add a Brightness+Contrast slider under the Gamma and everyone can set the game to their taste, monitor etc."

because not everyone plays in SOLO all day and the darkness could be used to form an ambush on ground.
