I must admit I dont have a problem personally with a thread about it, but, surely 1 is enough?
perhaps merge them all into 1
I know that is what generally happens with multiple threads on the same stuff over at another space sim game forum.
The problem with linking to other forums which only have highly restricted access is that is it stuff all use to the rest of us maybe you could cut and paste the info if it is of relevant interest?
cheers

Tada!Hello Commander Barns!
Just to clarify: the first person only view was not implemented because of any multiplayer consideration - it was a design choice that we feel supports the "you are in the world" experience we're aiming for. Obviously, I'm not saying you have to agree that it was a good choice though!
Having said that, from the outset Elite: Dangerous has pretty much always been aimed at multiplayer that includes adverserial play; this is why we are also looking at a groupling system, to allow players who wish to avoid the stress to still enjoy the game with mutually co-operative friends. Again, I'm not saying "we're right!", I'm just explaining the reasoning behind our choices.
In truth, there is still a long way to go and still a lot of change possible.
Sorry - I just go off the new posts page - didn't notice which forum.

Isn't merging topics like those one of the main jobs of a forum moderator? How many moderators are there?
It would be reasonable to expect each moderator to log in and review the recently posted topics at least once a day, and arrange for cover if they are going to be away. Yes, it's a voluntary job, but it's also a privileged position that should require some commitment. It's not a job that I would have enough spare time to do.
The quality of forum moderation directly influences the behaviour of the entire community.

Exactly. All these threads about 3rd person views are T.j's fault.
You're maybe referring to me as I hate the avatar - I said I'd stopped playing ED with the Oculus Rift because I couldn't stand it. I'm still playing ED, but just on a normal monitor (without using headlook) as then I never have to see the hideous thing.
Shame really as The Rift will definitely be the way to play all these space sims coming that will support it.Also, Vendetta Online has no cockpit and is a perfectly decent game in it's own right. Limit Theory be third person or HUD only (with a vague bending of the view to suggest a cockpit) - a game many are looking forward to very much. It's not some kind of failing to desire/prefer that mode - your lack of understanding is your own failure.
