Then they should have marketed elite as a First Person Shooter MMO
They FDEV was pretty clear that this was 1st person only and not 3rd person, deal with it and move on. SC have 3rd person so you can get you fix there.

... and one of the post launch major expansions that were spoken of during the Kickstarter will include leaving the pilot's chair - I would expect that to be first person only too.

It is actually, in a way, just our "guns" etc. are our spaceships.
Certainly not a typical FPS, but an FPS none the less.

I could go on. Did anyone mention that Total War doesn't offer First Person?
PS
How about this one: Why no first person in Dark Souls?!

yeah a rear facing camera would be nice
As said 100 times - pls give us rear view cam back!
There is no first person in Mass Effect, does anyone know why?

no the reasons are known... you just disagree with them, which is your right as a consumer to disagree
Design decision I guess - I would kill for FP in Mass Effect.. pls someone mod it...
Then there is The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. There is definetly no 3rd person in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Seriously.

.... and there's no 3rd person playable view in Elite: Dangerous for the same reason, I expect.
And I`m fine with that - I only want improved debug cam. I just dont understand magical advantage in 3p view that would supposedly appear with Elite - we have the radar....
It genuinely surprises me just how vehemently against this some people are despite the obvious lack of any meaningful effect it would have on them. Its baffles me why anyone in their right mind would oppose more options. Sure say it's not a priority or you think it would be wasted effort but the level of often pretty unpleasant opposition purely on the ground of... honestly I don't even know. Some kind of prejudice against 3rd person view games I suppose. Maybe a general defensiveness about ED because of all the flack it gets? Fear of someone gaining some kind of advantage out of it is the only reason that holds any water but is so simply countered both in terms of its validity when so many advantages already exist (scanner, trackIR/VR) and the simplicity of avoiding it anyway (disable in open). Beyond that it seems to boil down to "No, because I (or Frontier) said so.." or "because I don't want it no one should have it"
Well that sort of reasoning hasn't worked on me for a very long time. It's issues like this that are keeping me away from ED altogether and the frankly ugly nature of sections of the community doesn't help either.

Sorry can't rep you anymore, spot on post

Some people can accept the developers' stance - some can't. This, like other contentious issues, is probably one where (as they have indicated previously on other topics) Frontier are aware that not everyone agrees with them - and that's fine. The only people in a position to implement change are the developers themselves.
I would kill to see an official lancer in first person... oh that would be good... oh... yeah...
