[Request] Irkutsk platform numbers

[LeeSibbald]

This is a simple request and apologies if it has already been discussed.

Maybe I'm going colour blind in my old age but am I the only one who struggles to see the platform numbers when entering Irkutsk station in the Alioth system? It seems to me that the pink colour of the platform numbers blends with the back of the station to the point where, many times, I've sat there wondering where my platform was because I couldn't differentiate the two.

Otherwise Irkutsk is a beautiful station - fitting of its standing in the Alliance home system - and I love looking around the internal areas.

Cheers

I don't think I'm color blind, but I too have a hard time seeing the numbers. I really like the pink though, and I would hate to see it go. I think for the most part we'll just have to rely on our ship's instruments to get us to the pad.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a manually docker myself so I don't have a computer to help me out!

If you look at the ship's compass, it shows the way to your docking pad. This is doubly valuable with the pink numbers as, like you said, they are hard to make out.

Yep! That same little circle dot that shows us which way to point before we jump out will direct you to your pad. Great for outposts where you your pad may be obscured by something.

What really?! Urgh what a doofus I feel now. That said, if the pad is straight ahead and we can't see the numbers it's still a bit of a challenge. Thanks for the tip!

Many a time have I flown in circles around an outpost furiously searching for the pad! Cheers
