Turn off proximity warning for limpets

[foxoplasma]

The proximity warning would be an useful and immersive tool for miners to try and avoid bumping into things outside of their field of vision, however, collector limpets constantly trigger the warning when near.

This makes the proximity warning useless for its actual purpose, as it's active pretty much all the time, often also triggering the bright red blinking lights in front of you.
It'd be very nice to make an exception for the proximity warning when it comes to limpets.

I agree. Also the prospector failed notice...

... alternatively, don't use a Krait.

(Some of the light position issues in many ships are just stupid but the Krait(s) is / are in the top 1% of stupid light positions out there. )

I honestly don't think those blinking red lights are pleasant to see in ANY ship, which justifiably is right, i mean it should be grabbing your attention.
Unfortunately when your attention is mostly grabbed for useless stuff, it just becomes annoying..

"don't mine" also should work %)

Turn off proximity warning for limpets

I requested this long ago. At the very least, give us a switch in the right panel to turn off the warning lights. Flashing bright lights in our faces when we are about to hit something is just bad design, period.

I'm sure glad Frontier doesn't build cars!

I'd like to see some exclusions to the limpet warnings. Fuel, Repair and Collector limpets shouldn't trigger a warning, but hatch-breakers should.
Also, with regard to the blinking red lights, someone on another post suggested (and I agree with) having the internal lights for the cockpit change from the normal illumination to a constant red when in a 'red alert' status.

Considering there is no way to bump into a limpet if it's mounted to your ship, even if you wanted to. I agree.

This is still relevant and I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed given how many people have visual issues and how simple a fix this would be.

Search EDHM in this forum. You can turn off the lights (and so, so much more) using that mod if you're on PC. Super easy and makes the game look SO MUCH BETTER.

Definitely could do with fixing but as a work around, particularly when mining, lower your landing gear and the strobe lights stop.

I'd say give the option to turn off that annoying warning completely. When I'm mining I know I'm in an asteroid field. Those are not my concern. I want their cores, not excuses!
