Damage states/debug camera

Hey love the debug camera but noticed that it does not show any of the damage from your latest battle ? Was curious if they are planning on implementing damage states to show what damage has actually occurred after dogfights & battles before you get it repaired? Thanks for any info.

Anacondas show damage, but they are big and 'spensive. Smaller ships tend to just pop/explosive decompress and power-plant explosion. Making damage states persistent with graphic elements for all ships would be cool but given developer constraints it is probably not at the top of the to-do list.
 
Yeah I figured it would be later down the pike, but I play SC too so thought maybe they had considered it. Its funny I have kind of a conspiracy theory in regards to the two games, since CR & Mr. Braben are friends it seems they are both building similar games & are coming from two different angles. CR started his from the inside out so to speak (basic design of ship engine weapons & so forth with great detail) & Mr Braben started more or less with the galaxy mechanics & system to system travel mechanics. l would be willing to bet money that they are sharing info to help the other with the unfinished parts of the their games. So I am sure eventually they will get around to the detail on the smaller ships, also feel they will come out with their fps & multi crew about the same time as SC. Call me crazy but that is what I think is happening, but I think it is a great idea & they would be remiss not utilize this type of help & they are both fairly intelligent men, so here's to hoping.

P.S. thanks for the info & sorry for the extra info (my wall of text), but its been on my mind for a while now.
