I like that we can dim the lights in our mechs using the period key on the keyboard. However, I think they should dim the HUD overlay as well. Doesn't do me much good to darken the cockpit when the HUD overlay is still bright. Perhaps tie it to the interior light dimming level?

I've honestly never seen any significant difference between having the light on or off. I'm not sure why they felt the need to even include it, since it effectively does nothing.

It would make a difference in maps like River City Night. You would be able to see a little better without the bright HUD display creating so much contrast. Think of it like driving in your car at night with the dome light on, you just can't see as well outside the vehicle and your eyes don't adjust to the darkness as much due to the glare of the interior. Turning off the cockpit lights inside the mech helps some, but with the HUD still bright it's almost pointless to do so.
