A couple of Camera Suite Suggestions

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Hello FD. I love you for introducing the camera suite, but I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Surface Camera Distance.
I understand the low limit for the camera on a planet is probably for performance reasons, but could it be increased to about 1km for ships only, and keep the current distance for the SRV?
Some ships are rather large, so the camera doesn't actually move that far away.

2. Camera Presets
Can we get the ability to save our own presets? It'd help greatly with filming, if I can flip to a preset and continue flying.
2b. Remember Last Setting
Or if that's not practical, just remember the last position it was in?

3. FA Off Style Camera Mode
The old debug camera had one really useful feature, to be able to set the camera moving, and keep control of your ship.
Could we get an updated version of this for the new camera suite?

4. Close ups.
And finally, can we get a little bit closer to our ships before hitting the invisible barrier?

5. More zoom.

That is all!

Feel free to add your own, and I'll add them here for easy reading.

I concur, and at the same time slap on my own little request (hope it's alright with OP ):

That's fine!

I've added it to my OP, complete with your name.

500% agree I have been asking for something super similar for like years...well months really.! plus the camera suite on non lock when leaving the planet keeps resetting all the time annoying as heck, but yeps to No 2 etc give us presets so sick of the default driving me mad.

When you first go into the camera suite you're always just behind your ship. Great if you really like taking photos of your ship's engines, not so useful otherwise. If it can't remember the last position (as suggested) could it at least default to being just in front of the ship facing fowards?

Could ship alarms (perhaps just the audio?) please filter through to the camera suite. There's nothing like coming out of the camera suite to discover you accidentally went silent running and are now at 200% heat.
