The standard wire antennae are fine for sending and recieving messages. The RDF loop is just for pinpointing the exact direction a signal is coming from. This is valuable for navigation and for stalking a target. Otherwise it's useless. I usually only have mine lowered only while in port, just because it makes me feel good, but now that I think of it probably the only time it's needed is when...well, never really. But it looks cool.

Please tell me how to do this! You can PM me if you don't want to lead anyone else into temptation.
It's simple, really. Open menu_1024_768.ini. Scroll down to [G27 I5] (I know it says 'Name=Compass', but the entire [G27] block is the Binoculars). Danlisa was kind enough to leave both visual files in the game, so all you have to do is change

Mat 0=data/menu/gui/bearing2.tga

to

Mat 0=data/menu/gui/bearing.tga.

Yep. Just remove the '2' and it will redirect to the .tga file with the bearing marks.

I guess it's easier than I let on, but the standing rule is always think twice before touching Menu_1024_768.
