Since we didn't have a nice and juicy petition for a while, I thought this is a good opportunity!
So grab your torches and pitchforks and off we go!
Or maybe I'll just voice my complaint in a forum post so it's been seen and done.
I gotta say, I do feel a little more entitled than usual, since this ship was not free stuff, but actually purchased with hard cash.
The Mandalay is the best exploration ship I ever flew, but those search lights are absolutely atrocious.
They ruin any on-ground screenshots, they often look like a glitch, especially at daylight, and in my book, they often don't even look like lights, but like strange white circles painted on the ground (I never use the ship's main light because it's the same kind of "light" they emit).
I get the idea somehow. Not that I'd need lights beneath my ship, even if they would actually do their job, but I get that it might be a cool feature for some.
Now, if I could just switch them off.
I'd love to either have an extra keybind to do that, or the search lights connected to the ship's main light.
If I want light, I push the button, if I want it dark it really has to stay dark.
Here's a few shots to illustrate the issue and make this post a little bigger and placative.
This is at daylight:
This could be a great shot, alas:
