    Some times, in poor lit buildings or areas the exhaust light is enough when jetpack is active.

    Added now, that first picture is the suit light from a player halfway across a size 2 planet.

    The screenshots show B4019 can you try with the latest build v1.9.12 B4133

    I cannot reproduce this with the latest public build. Here I have 2 players facing each other & you can see in my crosshair the other players suit light at the edge of it's render range. If he moves a few steps back I cannot see anything (also the same result in day time)

    Here's another example from the latest patch:

    [​IMG]
    As you can see it's still in render distance, but the fact is a suit light shouldn't be a beacon to every person. I would note that another person looking back at me with the suit light on couldn't see me. So it seems inconsistent in terms of whether it shows or not. Perhaps try without god mode and see if that works?

    Another note in your example is that person is probably behind some terrain it seems. the person observing is probably best served by using godmode. If it means anything, medium and light armors are what we're using also.
