If they were going to add that feature, I think they would have by now, so I wouldn't hold out hope. For a game that relies so much on atmosphere, you'd think something so simple would be an obvious feature, but to my knowledge, they've never explained why they don't add something as basic as a light switch to the suit. Unfortunately, after they started hiring a bunch of lame "artists" and pandering to fair weather trendy audiences, they can't seem to make a decision that makes sense. The whole company has become about expanding the office and making money, instead of keeping a small indie team to make a great game, so every decision they make spanks of bureaucracy and trendy pandering.

Is the game still fun? sure, for a minute, but it lost the charm along the way, became something nobody from SES was talking about in the early days.

It's been like that since day 1 and they have never said anything about changing that as far as I know.

They did get bought out from what I heard, so it could be the new parent company is setting their focus/priorities.
