When I outfit my ships with external components (utility mounts, hard points), I like to place them strategically.
For example, if I outfit an ASP with Point Defence, I want to place it in the back just above the hatch. That is the best position (IMO) for the PD as it protects both against missiles and cargo hatch limpets ... but i digress.
I just bought a Type-10 and I want to choose strategic placement for 1-2 point defense, but I just cannot figure out where they are actually located on the outside of the hull.
Where is this?

And the other 7 are not easier to locate.
I think I read on the forums, that the workaround is to place stuff, leave station, deploy hardpoints and use the camera view to see where they are located. Really?
I propose the following QoL improvement:
- change the camera angle so that we can see where on the ship the utility mounts and hardpoints are
or
- allow camera zoom out
Has this been brought up before? What was the outcome... My search phrases did not find much on this topic.
