Fake cone of light on mass traffic ships

Post by Jaswolf » Thu, 4. Apr 24, 10:35

It's not really a problem per se but, Is it possible to turn off those fake cones of light seen on every mass traffic ships?

They're not looking good and bring nothing really interesting in the scenery, the natural glow of the light itself is good enough for me.

In general, all fake cone-lights are not helpful to improve the scenes (quite the opposite in fact). I'd love to see them gone or have the option to switch them off. :(

edit: example (most of the dock lights behave that way - the place one potentially visits for some star / shipgazing)

You can mod the game to make the material which is used for this effect transparent, though i will not remove it in vanilla.
I agree, that the effect is a bit too strong and "in your face" for the paranid masstraffic ships.

Fair enough, thank you for your answer Linolafett.
