Opinions, moon/cloud lighting SS's...

I'm just the opposite; I much prefer the first two. Even though it is lighter there is a cold stark feel that reminds me of what I felt like at times like that.

I reckon both of them look fantastic. Maybe combine the two

. Brilliant for a first attempt

I like the first two too; we need to remember that its just a game, and its a game without some more advanced lighting effects, no HDR, no depth of field and such, so when in real life at night there are many factors in play - moon, stars, ours ships metal hull, our own eyes making "adjustments" - in game its limited to just those effects it can handle, and to monitors we use (TMO is lighter on LCDs, but its pitch black at night on my old CRT to the point when only ship splashes are visible). So, I adjusted night colors for my game myself, but would use your mod anyday.

The first 2 look like nights when it's colder out, and the ones with the S-Boat, look like humid summer nights. Too bad we can't have seasonal changes.

But both versions look fantastic! If you can make them interchangeable, I would use both, and just swap them out with JSGME. Use the clearer one for late autumn, to early spring, Like Oct. to March or April, and the other one the of months.

So that's my honest take on it. Make both available! Especially if they can be interchanged!

With the moonlight, it reminds me of nightfishing for channel catfish, and sturgeon in early spring and late autumn.

The rest remind me of those humid hazy summer nights where everything metal on the boat gets a coat of dew on it.

I like the stark color of the first set but the lighting level of the second.

They all look good too me! Will this mod of yours be compatable with the supermods (RFB, TMO)? Will it change sensor settings or just the look of the environment? I may have to give it a try

I find all of them awesome... If I have to choose I think the first two are more like a real full moon night... the grayer second two I think would be great for no moon-lower light nights... But it's really hard to choose, they all look great!
