THAT'S WHAT THOSE LIGHTS ARE FOR?! *mindblown*

I am sure they are just Port and Starboard lights, not traffic signalling.

 

[Vasious]

you mean besides the red and right traffic lights on the exit?

I am sure they are just Port and Starboard lights, not traffic signalling.

Indeed, Navigation Lights, not traffic lights, even used on spacecraft today, before someone says there is no port and starboard in space

I feel your pain brother, if I damaged my clipper I think i would throw my monitor out of the window

Well the last couple of days or so I accidentally killed three CMDRs (two eagles and one sidey) then I entered the letter box on three different occasions (slow and nice).

All three dead commanders had one thing in common, they were in a hurry. In a hurry to the grave. I got a bit hurt in my Cobra, but I think people should be a bit more careful sometimes.

Later that night, in an ironic twist of fate I died ramming into a Type 7 freighter in a "letterbox" after "coming home bruised" from a bitter and long battle = rage and laughter.

Actually the lights are port and starboard lights red for port (left) and green for starboard (right), however you always keep to port in a ship so I do the same in game.. Always approach port from the port side f you both face each other then both of you turn to port martme rules seem to work for me oh and bigger ships get priority as they are slower to turn

As long as you both agree on which way is up

Edit: ah see what you mean now, I interpreted port as left....

 

[DarthLuca]

The NPCs don't seem to acknowledge the lights. I always enter and exit on the green side but they always fly in the center.

.
Agreed. At least 50% should follow 'the Rules'.

I actually do the same, Macman, I'll iiiinch toward the airlock, tilt a bit and see if anyone comes on, then boost, turning up my throttle while doing it... Some day I'll hit someone but that's why I have shields.

Edit: My Eagle's an explorer, I've dragged it home at 30% after I found a white dwarf and then had to run from an interdiction in the next system... Paint... is kind of a luxury for me, but one I patch up every time I dock at a repair capable starport.

i once decided to try and kill security vessels in a coriolis station. while in a viper.
don't do it.
my ego went back to it's place back then.
Then one time i full boosted while i was in a hurry to exit a coriolis station and missed the exit.
Patience is virtue!
ps. good thing we're space zombies.

The Cobra maybe wide but the tapered sides mean you can normally get by on a jaunty angle should another ship decide to bathe in the force field!
