I cannot see ships that far away at night, unless I cheat with the gamma or contrast plus brightness control cranked up.

I understand the crew can always see to the maximum range, the detect time is modified by the factors in sensors.cfg, so at night they can see to 17 km, modfied detect time by a factor.

IE. They see just as good at night as daytime for far away distance, it just takes them longer to spot. Not fully tested, but that is what it seems to be.

The watch crew have vampire vision.

They always have from day one of the game. It is just that it is more noticeable when the game world vision is so much bigger.
