Manual "rig for red"?

Not really. You only rig for red at dusk. It lets less light creep out to be seen at night and it lets your eyes adjust more quickly to darkness. That's the only reason it exists.

Well yes I know that. But surely the decision to use it rests entirely with the Captain of the boat?
With that in mind, I'd use it to denote a red alert situation

I think you can do something more or less similar by adding a drag & drop red translucent graphic (Like the current convoys map, flags, etc) so you can cover the screen with it whenever you want. Problem is it might not work in full 3D views like the control room :hmm:
