Carrier Bridge View Immersion Request

[Sgt Dartez]

Hi FDev,

I have a simple request. While docked at my carrier, I'd like the option to switch from the cockpit of my ship to sitting in the captain's chair on the bridge of the carrier. Maybe you can use the multi-crew system to let a few others commanders sit on the bridge with you if you would like.

It would feel much more immersive if I could sit at the head of my ship, even if I can't move it without jumping it. I would love to be sitting on the bridge and watching the carrier go through all the jump phases from that point of view, instead of just sitting in your ship inside the hangar and watching the walls stretch out.

As a side request: Maybe put a toggle in the "Carrier Management View"/"Carrier Administration View" that lets you either view the ship, or look around from the command center/bridge. It would be awesome if we could actually see the ship going into the portal, and coming out on the other side, instead of just cutting to inside the hangar. It's really cool to see them come and go from outside the carrier, but I want to see the action from inside, and actually feel like I'm in command of this massive thing by being able to sit in the captain's chair.

Thanks for reading, you guys rock. Have loved this game for years.

Definitely. This is obviously a desired feature and there's a little bridge sort of piece on every carrier that could be modeled out.

I'm surprised they didnt give use something already, maybe we will get a view once we are able to walk around carrier.

Will we be able to walk around carrier?

Going to bump this and ask for at least a side view in the "Carrier Management View" while the carrier jumps out - cutscene inside for hyperspace (would really love to be on the bridge for all of it) - then a side view of the carrier jumping in to its new location.

Though my request for a bridge view still stands - would love to be able to move into the bridge of the carrier in the management view, and watch the carrier enter the portal, go through hyperspace like other ships, and exit the portal in its new location

While bridge crew would be nice, you're not the captain so no captain's chair for you, somebody gets paid a lot of money to do that job and if you pinch his chair he may just walk off the job and you will have to fly back to the FC every time you want to jump it.

Hahaha this is funny. Unfortunately Mr. Captain didn't pay 5 billion credits to take ownership of the carrier. Captain or not, I own that chair, and I would love to sit in it.
