Thonys Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Hi captains well the biggest friend is ...darkness... when i am sailing at night in enemy territory i always light up, as if i am a lighthouse on the water what attracts more pirates from a long distance i always ask my boatswain to shut down the lights but for some reason, he is not able to dim the lights he for some reason can not find the key button ( L ) " for lights off " because my vessel has a hidden place for it .... so my question for the devs would be, make the key button L active for toggle the lights Captains and dev s what do you think of it is it a good feature, should it be implemented ? if so thumbs up and like pls Greetings o7 Thonys 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanay Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Always thought about this one, during the heavy storms we have from times to times we can barely see the coast 100 meters away from our ship but we are still able to see and follow clearly the illuminated stern of a ship acting like a beacon in the night as long as he stays in the rendering distances, being able to turn lights off will be great, if i am chased by enemies in the night or trying to sneak up somewhere using the bad weather i should be able to turn lights off on my ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikawa Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yes, lights off! I also think that a stern light would rather be invisible - we talk of oil lamps ... I even think that visibility range in darkness should be much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yes, lights off! I also think that a stern light would rather be invisible - we talk of oil lamps ... I even think that visibility range in darkness should be much smaller. Lookouts do not look for shapes in the dark. They look for pattern breaks. Also fog already takes care of it ( and saved my whiny backside many times on hostile waters ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macjimm Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Having the option to turn the light on would be excellent. There is really no reason for a light, it should be off by default. Some may think that it looks pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I support this. I want to be able to add more lights to my ship too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim McSauce Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 For the amount of coding it would take, the return is quite large. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The return is huge, because it is very impractical to hang a homing beacon on a trade ship to attract hunters Edited July 7, 2018 by Macjimm Speling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
