Complete nonsense. Sorry.
There is a huge difference between "there certainly won't be playable camera views" and "third camera views"
I have been been waiting since 1984 for Elite Dangerous

As the devs said, third-person view should only be to get a nice view of your ship, not for combat. Weapons etc should be disabled in third person.
That's good.

Precisely...
Yep... and yep. How else are we going to take pretty screenshots of our ships so we can make this game go viral!!!
I'm sure you don't mean to be confrontational? :S
To be honest, IMHO Michael's off-the-cuff comment doesn't seem to bring anything new the table as "you won't be able to play the game in third person" can mean any number of things.
If you just take the total lack of hud (as is being suggested), to me that would mean you couldn't play the game (very well).
So in my view, the comment doesn't seem to bring anything new to the discussion... So I guess it continues to stay as "watch this space".
No problem

There is no incompatibility between game mechanics and an aesthetically pleasant experience.
Indeed. I would prefer a very simple poll: "A simple external ship viewer None Combat" Yes or NO

Read the first line... of the first post...
:smilie:The options are also pretty poor - ie: If an option had read, "offer a hudless external view, seriously nerfed to actually make it a disadvantage in combat," the votes may have been different

Try the idea I suggested on my post....
Yep, all mentioned (somewhat in brief) in the first post.
Outside ship camera ?
Hello o/ just wanna suggest for outside ship camera to be added ...i mean we bought our ship or maybe the skin ..but and all we can view is from inside the cockpit and from one angle during outfitting...i mean come on, i want to spend sometime looking at my ship from diff angles ..gawk at it..and admire the creativity and imagination put by the designer in creating those beuts. Its okay if we can only use the outside camera while docked...i want to see my ship from outside and admire the paint jobs if someday more designs are out and i bought one that i like...whats the point of buying the paint job if we can't view our ship all we want anyway. Thank you.

3rd-Person View
Although I absolutely love the immersive Cockpit view there are times when i'm just itching for an external view of my ship, particularly on Docking. Some kind of external camera system may also serve to aid some people with those mahoosive Type 9's and Anaconda's, aswell as being a 'vanity' thing

Who says third person driving isn't realistic - http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/11/drone-driving/?
Third person pls, it helps my immersion.
