Capship Visibility At A Distance

[hribek]

i thought it might be useful to know if your like Mon'Star and need to not be seen on occasion and think just being out of scanner range makes you that way when in reality you are sticking out like a sore thumb.

Yes, they will see the fearsome silhouette of the Necrosis. But that's when you can use asteroid fields and nebulas for cover, I guess.

Incrased visibility is cool overall. We even had jumpholes visible from 30K but turned it back down because some of the holes are in open space (which I criticised a bit, since there are net to no jump holes in open space in the original game) - but hey, we had to do all the ships, systems, weapons and balancing first.

The increased visibility of huge ships is an amount of relism that we can afford even in Freelancer. I do not need to be reminded that I'm playing a video game each time a liberty dreadnought spawns at 2K distance from me, out of nowhere. Hence - spawns.
