As a small visual improvement for any ship in elite dangerous in my opinion are position lights.
It is just so unrealistic that a spaceship has no position lights because it is even more important in space because it can be very dark there. So I got out with Photoshop and made a prototype.
That's what elite Dangerous looks like at the moment:
And that's the prototype:
The lights should not be a problem for FD and would bring more life to the ship right away. Of course you should be able to turn the lights off in fights. For a Silentrunner that would be important. Of course, these lights should also be in realistic positions and flash correctly.
And then there is the lighting of nameplates. Because in different situations you can not even see your own nameplates because it is too dark, is it a pity to have paid for it? So how about a small lamp that illuminates the Nameplate.
Here is a little example from the movie Star Trek (2009)
In the end this is not a big change but it is not a big job either. So if you think that we should think about bringing such lights into the game then do not let me know [up]
