Dear CCP,

Please make your ship lighting brighter. As everyone here knows, I live in w-space. It's a dark place. I can appreciate the immersion you're attempting to create. However, you're doing your game and its players a disservice.

When I go out to empire, hisec specifically, I actually get to see my ships and most all of the details they have, their eye candy. And still, even in HS, it's darker than it should be. But, back to living in w-space, my ships for the most part look like dark shadowy figures in space with only the ship's internal lighting rendering any kind of detail alluding to what is actually there. That's not to say that if I move my view so that the star in the system is behind me that I can't see my ships. I can. But, they're lacking any luster. Please fix this.

Now some might say this is monitor settings but, I've set them to high. I've played with brightness and gamma until the images are washed of any comfortable contrast.

Don't ban me, bro!

Yeah my ships are blacker than space and its amarrian.What?

And this is in High sec. I barely didnt notice my gallente shuttle is blue now becuase of it.

Nebula needs to be a light source and the sun needs to have more effect. This current shadow ships should only be behind a star's planet.

I think its pertty bad when I have to move to caldari space just to be able to see my ships reasonably.

I'm in Gallente space and the lighting is perfect.

Just for the record.


(except that ships still get lit up when behind stations and (i assume) planets)

Heh, come and visit Sela region in Lonetrek, its so bright you can hardly see if modules are active.
Letters are unreadable anyway, white on pale blue-near white background....
CCP really knows how to balance stuff.

CCP just needs to bite the bullet and make separate customizable brightness levels for ship, background, nebula and be done with it.

Or give us the option to use old nebula or new, and old font or new.
Goddamn WoW UI can be customized to hell and back, and we get a change that half the people dont like...but who cares..right CCP?

Err hate to break it to you but old front is deleted most likely.

Also the new drop grounds are likely the same fate deleted and or imcompatable with carbonized.

If you want the old things back they would have to rebuild it nealry from the ground up.

And they also said that Ship spinning cant be back, since it is incompatible with new engine...and we got it back.
Honestly i liked the old font better...that's just my opinion.

I like the nebula's also, i just hate the Caldari one, its just not right. Galente one is rich and wonderful to look at. This bluish crap makes everything look like monitors gamma values went sky-high.

As for deleted font, i have an old non-updated client if they need the font back :)

Which is why they had to rebuild it from scrap, whcih is why it was broken when it did first come back.

Lighting is perfect - it totally depends on the system Nebula and how much light is in the space you are at. In amarr my ship is bright, in Jita, its dark - I think its amazing the job they did with the lighting.

That's fine. I can appreciate your opinion on the matter. But I live my life 99% of the time in w-space. It's dark. And while it's good that it reflects on the rest of the environment, having a shadowy silhouette my ships is not doing the game justice. I want to see my ships, not sense their presence.

Don't ban me, bro!
