It's commentary like this that makes Dangerous Discussion the cesspool that it is.
Now imagine this with the elite gunner cam
no please don't place these images in my head it's chaos in there already...
The issue with the bolded is where does weapon fire originate from? You'd see lasers appearing from midair in front of you.
You would see the actual turrets shown in transparent (by transparent I don't mean invisible, wireframe for example or any kind of presentation that looks functional and cool) just like any other part of the ship and the weapon fire would originate from those transparent turrets.
I've actually backed that game, but never looked at it again after they put VR support on hold. Might be worth downloading once they add it by the looks of it.
VR support has been in the game for a year.
It's called "Space Engine".
Thanks and repped - haven't checked in almost three years.
Or the version of Elite Dangerous we were sold and bought. The one without shoddy third person cameras.
Wow I´m surprised there are so many people arguing this mode is ok, especially mentioning the technological capabilities.
This game went out of th way to create a future where we sit in cockpits with glass windows shooting our guns at targets in sight range, yet the 3rd person mode makes the very basics of this premise obsolete.
If turrets can have 3rd person view and a mouse aimed crosshair why cant the pilot?
Why cant the pilot just control the turrets aswell as the ship? which would be just as feasible with this capability as the turret view.
Why do we have a cockpit and fragile glass if we had the free floating cameras for the tactical overview, instead of an armored bridge deep and secure in the ship.
Because thats what this game was about, sitting on the stick looking around in the cockpit beeing immersed, not having the realitic computer war where you never see th target.

How does the multicrew gunner tole take away from that for the pilot? Do you even intent to crew up with people?
Or is the mere knowledge that others might enjoy the game in ways you don't like (while being perfectly avoidable for you) enough for you to sour the deal?

Nah im highlighting that technological capabilities where defined for this game, we sit in the cockpit as pilot we dont have a 3rd person camera and a crosshair, now if the technology exists for the gunner why doesnt it exist for the pilot?
Thats a glaring example of a game breaking its own rules to me, ergo breaking immersion, btw I would not like to have 3rd person view with aiming at th same time espeacially if the game has pvp, as by that point its much lees avoidable to me.

I think the gunner view should be called a mini game in side elite. :-/
Ive not issue with it... looking forward to playing with it.

Wow, I'm amazed this thread is still active, when all the OP asked for was an in-game physical drone that acts as the camera, and a low-grade CGI Gunner's view. Both are great ideas for the Immersion crowd, but their current omission is hardly game-breaking or warrants drama. First Elite-world problems?

It's a third person camera, something we were told would never be introduced to Elite Dangerous. Thats why people are upset. It's not a question of ignoring it if you don't want use it, people paid for this content, and rightly expected that this content would be first person. Very understandable.
Maybe you didn't or don't care if things are in the game that use third person cameras. Others obviously do care, the lack of third person cameras and the developers commitment to keeping it that way is what drew them to this title.

No, just people who have had enough compromises after compromises in the course of two years, since launch.
It probably would not have been that hard to bring the TPP gunner camera in the line with the rest of the game's depiction of HUDs. The main HUD already does a similar job by displaying the vector of the target ship in real time. Will FDEV do it? Most likely not.
