It would be sooo romantic (especially in the cockpit).

They need to remove the sideburns from Heartbreaker first in order to be romantic.

And realistic. Now night is too glowy. Very ugly when compared with day time.

It only glows at certain hours. In the very dead of night, everything is pitch black. I don't recall offhand at what hour the true darkness starts, but you can find it by changing any mission's start time.

My only real gripe with the nighttime graphics is the moon's blue reflection in the water. The moon is white. Its reflection is white. Why would anybody make it blue?

In movies its called "day for night": a dense blue filter used with a 12000 watts spotlight to cast hard shadows...Another movie thing...like do you use the "real" look of a propeller or the movie rendition...

Does realistic look best...Explosions in space, a real one, looks like a really bad Hollywood special effect, 50's style: first a puff of smoke forms and grows without ever changing shape, because there is no air to oppose the expanding smoke. It looks really really amateurish, yet its the real thing. No director will ever try to make it look realistic, he probably would be fired. So in movies we get usually gasoline explosions even in space...

I would like to see what it would look like in white but I think that the blue one will look best if not realistic...In the cockpit that is.

Ps: But I totally agree that the moon reflection in the water should be white because the moon is white...Even if it actually is the color of asphalt...and is shown in movies as casting blue light...

Something to hang onto though. Still, a fix would be most welcome. When even the unasked for gimmicks are broken, it makes you wonder what hope there is for this new dev team.
