Aug 14, 2018 at 14:12 comment added AmiralPatate @BladeWraith It helps signify the passage of time, which might help keep people sane. The psychological factor is more important than most people give it credit for. Also military consistency might just carry over to spaceships for no good reason. They are the boats of space after all.

Aug 14, 2018 at 11:01 comment added Blade Wraith Righto, fair point, it is a good visual aid to say pay attention. just i had this argument with a friend of mine a couple of months ago and he thought there was more to it then that. hence my comment
Aug 14, 2018 at 10:43 comment added D3f4u1t @Blade Wraith I was thinking about the red lights to signalize the crew as soon as the ship is entering a dangerous situation to stop all other activities and stay alerted. You're absolutly right. There are no other benefits besides enhancing night vision and alerting the crew.
Aug 14, 2018 at 10:36 comment added Blade Wraith @D3f4u1t, red lights are done in Surface vessels as the light radiation on the red end of the spectrum effects human night vision less than other colours. while it does happen on submarines as well this is just done to military consistency, it doesn't have any actual benefit while submerged

Aug 14, 2018 at 9:33 comment added Tim B Why would there be handheld devices at all? By that time everything will be either wearable or cybernetic....and everything will be wireless... unless the ship is deliberately low-tech in order to limit Electronic Warfare effectiveness.

Aug 14, 2018 at 9:12 comment added D3f4u1t This is not an answer but an idea: lights can be dimmed or turned to red light in combat mode like in submarines
