Good suggestion. I'd like to see manual "rig for red" as an
option. The automatic "white-for-day-red-for-night" approach of SH3 is just too simplistic and doesn't accurately reflect real usage, however it does prolly suit the needs of many players.
Were it selected as an option by the user though, there'd need to be a penalty for not using it correctly, say temporarily impaired vision if you let your crew go topside without adequately adjusting first.
Would go hand-in-hand with the return of the sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset calendar.
Of course, later in the war red goggles largely replaced the red light, so it would be less of an issue.
I guess what your comment does lead to though are independant lights for each compartment - SH3 is all white or all red. Sleeping areas should always be dark, engine room white, control room red (when rigged that way) for example.
