[SPECTRE]

I dont know about anyone else but I play on a uncolored spacebox and sometimes (most of the time) i also play in movie mode, and the problem is it can sometimes be hard to see UNSC ships against a pitch black background. Silver/steel coloured ships such as prowlers are fine its mainly those that are pitch black that i have a problem seeing. With the Sacrifice of Angels star trek mod they used ship lighting to help Identify ships. So if Enough players have the same problem i was wondering if you could spruce up the colors a bit.

Idea: the ships from star trek have a light to display the ships name plate.

I think its about time for me to get my eye tested.
Oh and before you asked ive tried fiddling with in game brightness, as well as my screen brightness and gamma.

Rebellion adds more dynamic lighting, especially with the 1.79 update. General consensus is that this improves the look of many ships no end.

At the end of the day, there is an element of 'the ships are black, space is also black', but I understand your concern. I would recommend you wait until the forthcoming release and perhaps reevaluate based on the results. You may well be pleasantly surprised!

Ah god that's a relief, how goes rebellion? and how long will we have to wait?

Ships from Halo have a light to display the name plate too:

But I understood what you meant. I do believe putting lights on ships' names is not a top priority now, so it might take some time.

Rebellion is taking shape nicely, almost all bugs from the transfer have been ironed out, which was a large feature. I won't say too much as I'm not sure how much is allowed to be publicly known. What I can say is the release date is:

What if i told you i'm Admiral Serin Osmans husband?

Sorry sir. These orders come from levels I've never seen before. Legends speak of the soothing baritone timbre of a President long since departed, and the rumbling roar of a cosmic beast. And their wrath shall not be tempted.

[SPECTRE]

ah well worth a bash...

Most of the lighting issue comes from the UNSC ships not having proper specular maps, or just being completely black. It removes a lot of the dynamics you're looking for like light catching the hull and such.

I could tell you but then uni would have to eat you whole. Its hard to get Wi-Fi inside unikraken i hear

Also just to address the specific issue of ship name lighting. It's not possible in Sins to have ship's names in print on the side, all models are identical so the words would have to be the ship class rather than the individual names which obviously are not the same thing. This all to the best of my Sins knowledge but I'm fairly certain it's accurate.

Yeh i wasn't expecting hundreds of different baseIDs just for ship name lighting. I would have just wanted it blank rather than seeing the same dreary name.

He said he's getting a hotspot soon.

Pretty sure he might have meant hemorrhoid.
