Should Security Vessels have SIRENS! :)

"Sir, do you know your Anaconda has 12 tail lights out?"

We wouldn't be able to hear the sirens in space anyway... no air to trasmit sound, remember?

BUT, I would like it if the comms panel was more of a holographic system where you could hail people and see a head talking to you.

It'd be cool to see Mr. Policeman, wearing appropriate gear based on faction, informing you that you're in deep poo-poo.

This would finally give us a use for the crotchscreen.

You may have noticed you can actually hear stuff in space - like ships flying past and near misses by weapon fire. It's established in lore that your ship takes EM signals and turns them into a soundscape around you to tell you what's going on around you in a way your human brain can most effectively interpret. The sirens would just be an EM signal broadcast by police vessels that your ship interprets as siren noise, reproduced in your cockpit, shading volume by distance.

That is literally the last place I want to see a policeman's face appear while I am smuggling.

Seirenes or Sirens.
They do capture one's attention!

Yup, the police ships need sirens, blue and red flashing lights and you also need a little indicator of how miffed they are at you from 1-5 measured in little stars

Exactly spot on comment 100%

I do not know about sirens, but blue flashing lights when in combat or pursuit would be nice!

Agreed.
Sirens would just be too much.
