For the most part, CIG design is fantastic. The themes, the vibes, the atmospheres…all amazing. I was so impressed with how far vehicle design has come, that I bought a Perseus over the weekend, even though I haven’t actually played the game in 2 years(another topic entirely). However, for the length of my time as a citizen, almost a decade now…every single new ship has had the same complaint - “Why are there lights blinding the pilot?” Now, seasoned vets and those who pay attention know the reason: Screenshots. CIG wants you to be able to see your pilot in the driver seat from third person. There’s also a cool view when you approach another players ship and you see them sitting in the cockpit. This is cool, and I think we understand the value behind such a light…to an extent. What I don’t think we can get over, is the inability to turn the damn thing off. Why, after so many years of the same exact complaint, has nothing been done about this? Its easily one of the biggest blockers to an enjoyable flight experience in many ships. LET US TOGGLE PILOT FACE LIGHTS! It’s completely ridiculous that you make us suffer for something that is legitimately only cosmetic in use. With HDR turned on, you actually need sunglasses to fly some ships for a long period of time. Please, stop hurting us CIG. If Chris is really stuck on this, perhaps consider the dramatic action that would be turning on your pilot’s cockpit lights as you approach a hostile. Or that it could even be used to prove someone is unarmed in their ship. There is actually legitimate gameplay you are locking us out from by not allowing us to toggle these lights. Make the man a video if you need. I’m sure literarily ANYBODY in the community would help you make the argument. That is how universal of a complaint these lights are. You all have been doing great, all the work being done has actually gotten me excited to play again soon. But please, please stop ignoring our concern about these lights. They make it so some folks just straight up can’t enjoy the game…surely that can’t be acceptable to you? You worked so hard on these ships, it just seems wrong that such a simple design fix is a blocker for so many being able to enjoy your hard work. Thank you, and again…great work otherwise!
