Just curious, will there ever be a 3rd person view of our ship.

I remember playing silent hunter 5 and you could after sending out the missle, exteriorize and follow
the missle...or even move to the target and observe things from there ..baboom

I know this game is far faster and likely more codingly complex, but even to be able to view while in normal non combat etc modes would be cool

Very unlikely. The 3rd person camera we have now came only after Great Debates.

FD have said in the past that this game is a ship combat simulator; third-person combat views are perceived as immersion-breaking and therefore are not going to be allowed.

It was a fight to get the debug camera at all and, I feel, it is the best compromise between the many different views we had. Some people wanted more and some people wanted less. What we got was something that didn't pee off too many in either camp. I'm thinking it will stay pretty much as it is and that's probably a good thing all round.

ED is primarily a first person experience - all I see happening is that they'll tidy up the "debug" camera and call it something else like "drone camera" or whatever.

I think its Ctrl + Alt + Space for the debug camera by default, but as others have ssid, you cannot control the ship at all while in this mode leaving you very vulnerable if you want to take a screenshot of an attacking ship from external.
