📋 About This Mod

Ship Exterior True Illumination - SETI© - is a lighting solution for your ships and dark planet exploration.

If you're using any of the dark night tweaks/mods, you will find SETI and its sibling mods to be essential when exploring the wilderness after sunset! If you ever found yourself disoriented in a dark asteroid field, SETI will ensure you can see where you're flying.

Why restrain the awesome lights to your ship alone? SETI is perfect in combination with my other mod: Subtle Flashlight

Use these two mods in combo and you'll never feel stranded in the dark again!

While we're at it, throw in some more lumens into the mix by installing SOL - Sensible Outpost Lighting so your outposts become lit! Then your circle of light will be complete! (Quick note: if you've been using SOL Extended version, it's recommended to replace it with SOL - Base version before you install SETI. Alternatively, you can just place SETI below SOL in your mod load order.)

MAIN FEATURES - SETI:

- New ship light fixtures (including navigation lights!) that provide much needed light around your vessel while you're landed or in space. Modify your ship at your nearest ship technician to install as many of them as your ship can handle! (Check the Equipment tab!)

- A selection of upgraded Vanilla ship parts with overhauled lights. (Many more upgraded parts to come!)

- Spaceship headlights will now be visible in space and will illuminate distant objects. You can add your own headlights and as many as you want! Imagine that!

- Vanilla ship landing engines will illuminate a wider area during takeoff/landing sequence.

- Vanilla boostpacks will produce light around you while being used, looking much more realistic at night. (Only functional in 3rd person for now.)

Up-to-date list of all vanilla ship parts that have the upgraded SETI lighting:

- Nova 6 Landing Gear (all positions and pieces)

- Deimos Ares bridge variants
