Minor thing... Cockpit interior light

Only a minor "complaint" if you can call it that. The "other" big space sim of the time, Star Citizen, is for me characterised by its very bright and airy cockpits, whereas ED's cockpits in some of the smaller ships particularly, are very dull inside. When light comes into the cockpit you can see what a fantastic piece of work the art design guys have done - so, it would be nice to have a soft (or variable?) interior light for the cockpits... Just my 2p worth :)

It wouldn't cause any harm, and people should be able to customize things as they like... One small additional request, if they do this the light should automatically turn red when you engage silent running and flicker/turn off when you over tax the power system.

With the Rift, the cockpit of the Eagle is very open. can see stars and such.. the Viper, very dark, a lot of times completely black because star light is not entering it, so it feels like i am in a black void a bunch of orange HUDs and then the portholesto view some stars outside.

there is a nice light behind the seat and that does not do any good back there, and when the star does like up the cockpit it is really nice and detailed, but yeah, please put some more lights in there

I'll second this suggestion. With the Rift on, the sharp contrast between the orange HUD and the dark cockpit interior causes a bit of eye strain after a while. A little ambient light in the cockpit would probably make it a lot easier on the eyes.

I like the dark cockpits. I mean, you're flying through space which is like flying at night FOREVER!
There's a reason car interiors are not brightly lit for night time driving. You want to keep your vision adapted for the stuff outside of your craft, not the inside.

Being able to toggle the lights in the cockpit would be kind of nice, too. Sometimes you just want to soak up the immense blackness of space. :)

As long as we can toggle it, I'm all for a map reading light! Then all we need is to get into a protracted argument with the Galaxy Map as to whether we should have made that left turn back there...

There's four light switches on the Eagle's overhead canopy, but i don't think they're functional. Would be great to be able to control them though - also an exterior aimable floodlight would be cool..

"are you sure you want to go to red alert sir? it does mean changing the bulb"... classic Red Dwarf.

I'm all for a bit of light but would probably fly 99% of the time with it off.
