new and mid skilled players will turn their lanterns off on their ship because they think it makes them sneaky, better players know that the render distance for ships in this game are isnt very good. a ship out of render distance will appear as a default ship with lanterns on making turning lanterns off do nothing. please rare extend the render distance so we can turn out lights off and be sneaky
ship lanterns
@doomscorp ohh...you're such a skilled player...🤪😉
Without lights on, parking at a big island it's hard to be seen from a certain distance...sure it doesn't matter in open waters or on small islands
Edit: for example, stay at Lost Gold Fort, when a sloop stays at the dock from plunder outpost, it's not easy to spot that sloop without the spyglass, even with the spyglass at some daytimes it can be hard...not so with the lights on@ninja-naranja said in ship lanterns:
@doomscorp turning your lights off does effect the render distance silhouette. That’s why my friends and I turn them off if we’re trying to stay off of people’s radars.
Render distance is not affected by lights on or off. Less noticeable yes. I can easily spot ships at dark without lights. On a side note other than the map table lights provide zero benefits on the boat.
