lightning damage sucks*** in this game.

[PERKKY 101]

a lightning damage on off toggle in game options would be a nice addition.

Your main goal soon as the warning about the lightning storm coming in is to get your airship docked below a station landing pad or tower in general so that those act as a lightning rod to save your airship from any large damage hits, you should only need to worry about repairs if you are in an open area where you don't have time to do this and have repair patches ready to go.

no comments wanted on post. i just asked for a on off toggle not some rando super uber master general. telling me how to play the game.

Well, if you post a suggestion in the public forum of the game in development comments will come, want it or not.

It's a terrible idea, learn how to avoid lightning damage, he told you the way to do it.

Instead of that type of reply it would of been better to say: thanks I will keep this in mind until they do add the toggle option for players like myself.

Not that hard is it.

Lightning is a terrible mechanic in this game. It doesn't need an 'off' switch, it needs a reality switch.
Why are our airships not Faraday cages, exactly? Why kind of space-faring version of humanity is created that they can venture about the stars, but not work out how to deal with lightning better than a 19th century physicist?

I honestly don't mind the lightning. Adds a little extra challenge and danger to the game that really doesn't set you back much if you fail to find safety in time.

Agreed, but can see it being similar to Bruce in raft, some people hate it and want him turned off, I'm assuming eventually we'll be able to add something that will absorb the lightning eventually, in raft you could armour the tiles around your ship to stop bruce attacking it.

I agree. However... I got struck by lightning 6 times in 5 minutes which is ridiculous. The chance of getting hit by it shouldn't be that high.

I concur, it adds some danger in a game that is (at least for me just having reached a 3 light platform) relatively free of danger.

agree, i actually like it just because there is no other danger so at least something player have to have in mind

I don't think it should be turned off. Your assistant tells you during one of the storms that the lightening hits the highest metallic surface. So if you have multiple pads to land on make sure you are not the highest object. I take usually 1 hit on the bad ones and easily repaired. Exploring gets your crazy repairs. I think its fine.
