Neutral ships should be running with lights.

Try the Flags Enlighten mod. It helps a lot.

That is why I don't play using renoun.

I don't go out of my way sinking neutral ships but... it happens as in RL.

Fat Juicy neutral Lg Tankers are the worst temptation.

You are correct. On Sep 4th 1939:

Quote:

Maritime Commission (Hydrographic Office Special Warning No. 9) directs that all U.S. merchant ships en route to or from Europe are not to steer a zig zag course, are not to black out at night, and are to paint the U.S. flag on each side of the hull, on hatches fore and aft, and on sun decks of passenger vessels, and to illuminate the colors flying from the flagstaff at night. In Hydrographic Office Special Warning No. 12 (promulgated the same day), U.S. merchant vessels engaged in domestic, "near-by foreign" or transpacific trade are not required to paint the flag on hull, hatches and decks, but otherwise are to follow the other instructions contained in Special Warning No. 9.

All neutrals are dark in the stock game. First someone had to figure out how to make the lighted ships. Next someone had to create separate folders for all ships that were to be lit. Then they had to be assigned the correct dates.

GWX does this, but not for all ships. I suppose the thinking is that we can't make it too easy. Other than that I don't know.

I am afraid if they show no lights i need to see what they are and the easiest way is to set them on fire!

Theres always a random chance that the crew forgot to turn them on.
