Hi there,
A very quick suggestion for FDEV, just some small detail I wanted to speak about :
Most ships have some sort of external lights / floodlights, apart from the main "headlights" (see : http://imgur.com/a/djHlW for example), that, now that we have this new shiny camera system, may pose an issue in some screens...
My Idea would be to tie these out to the silent running command... With this, said lights would turn off when in silent running, and make the ship even more "dead" looking... We could even completely play dead this way (Given a slight lowering of the auto-detection range)
This would surely add some degree of coherence to the whole "silent running" thing, and maybe allow for more possibilities in regards of screenshot variety, and some roleplaying possibilities of some sort...
Oh, and while i'm at it, real Green/Red Strobes would add a lot to realism / coherence to most ships, while not being hard to add at all... I think...
I hope, of course, that it gets added soon, or at least considered by FDEV, and that nobody already pointed it out...
P.S. : I'm not a native english speaker, so please forgive any wrong phrasing or strange wording...
