QuillmonkeyI’m not an expert on this but ED uses shaders to give colour to everything from hud to interior lighting etc. reshaders just allow you to change these colours. Some, including EDHM allow you to do this on the fly. EDHM does it via its shipyard where you can apply a theme to any ship in yr fleet. When you fly that ship all colours are set to the new theme. Can’t be more technical than that but try EDHM on its own and see what is missing.

Yuna SakashiroFor sensors, the only advantage of A-rated is their improved ability to resolve cool running targets. I never found this particularly useful, so I always pick D-rated. If your ship can afford the weight increase, the long range mod will make more ships appear on your navigation panel, making it easier to acquire high value targets in a RES.

I am not trying to reshade just ship interior, I am trying to reshade the environment, general lighting, celestial bodies etc. I am trying to figure out a way where I can have both edhm effects as well as environmental changes.

KurakilIf long range combat is not a factor then I would use D-rated without question. But I'm curious how valuable the extra sensor range is when weapons are modded for long range, either in your own ship or the enemy ship.

A-rated won't give you extra range over D-rated. All sensor classes have 8km range by default, and 14km with grade 5 long range mod, which doubles the module's weight. The only difference between the classes is sensitivity to ships with low heat signature. But remember, you can also increase a ship's signature with emissive munitions. Unlike A-rated sensors, emissive munitions will also widen gimbal arcs.

KurakilWhat is the "typical emission range" for the sensors then? I guess that is where I am not clear.

ParkanHi people, I'm new to the game and I have some kind of a bug with a station. I need to end the mission, but all docking pods are occupied. I've tried to wait when bots will go away, but they didn't. Moreover, station gave me an access to land on the pod... That still was occupied. So, I couldn't land, and only thing that I recieved with autodocking - I've landed on other ship, but not on the station... Now bots are trying to fly from the landing pad, but they can't, they are kinda jumping on it instead of flying away, and when they finally fly away... A new one ship appears on that landing pad immediately literally from nowhere. What I should do in that situation? I have 5 more hours for the mission, should I just leave the game and wait?

If it's an outpost and those are truly just NPC ships, just make a docking request and you should get the free landing pad fairly quick. I never noticed such problem with large stations (there are enough pads). But the behavior you described sounds odd. In the worst case, you can jump back to the game menu and back to the game.

Yes, it's an outpost. ~~

It happens a lot in busy instances in popular stations with high traffic. Few players ditching their ships on landing pads being AFK can deteriorate an instance very badly. The solution is to reset the instance or switch mode.

try the same station in "Solo" game mode once.
It might be better there...

But if it's just AFK players then I would not receive a permission to land literally on their heads and bots would not try to land on their heads too, right? Moreover, after scanning, looking at contacts menu and just trying to see players nearby through the messages menu I didn't see them as players, so it's just bunch of stucked bots.
