Aside from the Sidewinder, what ships have a 'centered' point of view?

I'm a bit OCD (Yes, I've been diagnosed, no I'm not just throwing the term around) and would like to try and stick with ships where the view is centered. Was hoping someone could tell me what other ships have this feature?

You mean not sitting to the left or right of the ship?

viper,Eagle,Hauler,type-6/type-7/type-9,ASP, Anaconda.

Left seat - Cobra,Orca
Right seat - Clipper (hope they eventually other both seats!) Adder

I obviously missed a few...

Might be worth pointing out that the ship seems to spin around the pilot's point of view - not the centre of mass of the ship. Most ships will handle like you are sitting dead centre even if the pilot appears to be sitting on the left or right. No idea if this might help you but I hope it does.

It's kind of weird that in all the off-center ships there's nobody else sitting in the other seats. Makes me think my pilot is some sort of spaceship wizard.

I think the ships rotate correctly, but the huge distances makes it hard to see where the centre of rotation is. I'm gonna try it out in the Adder with some near objects, like canisters.

Don't get an Adder. It is a really nice ship, but not having any of the cockpit edges line up properly would drive you to distraction.

The Adder does indeed rotate around its center of mass, but the effect is so minor you won't even know if you're not looking for it. Although it is a little bit disconcerting at first, you quickly get used to the Adder's off center cockpit. I don't even notice it anymore.

Thanks everyone! Super helpful =D Looks like I'll be grabbing a Hauler over an Adder.

The Adder is actually a really nice ship - similar amount of cargo space to the Hauler but it can pack a serious punch, with 1 medium and 2 small hard points. I've moved onto the Cobra now but I really enjoyed my time with the Adder.

I agree. Did a shieldless explorer/mining run way down "south" beyond the Empire, into uncharted territory. Came back with a load of gold and silver and 80% hull. It was pretty well equipped, I might add. But still, nice vessel.

I think I can afford that Cobra now...

Technically, I can afford a Type 6 right now (I've got around 1.4m) but I've really been enjoying buying the lower tier ships and upgrading them excessively lol. Thinking about just running a sidewinder with fully upgraded parts and seeing what's going on in Open Play (I've been sticking to the PvE Group thus far)
