Dashboard display/ bobble head Ideas

[Vulkan Hestan X]

1. I was talking to my friend after buying the station bobblehead and an idea came to mind. What if we could have a hologram for the bobblehead where it would show you a detailed hologram of the station you would be going to. Say you could change it manualy to only show one kind of station or you could set it to show the spacific kind of station you are going to. And if you decide to have a spacific kind of station you can customize the coloring of the station in the hologram. As an Example say you have it show an Ocellus station, you can change the color of the station in the hologram to make it a black station with red lights and blue highlight for example.


2. A rear view camera that either A, you mount to the canopy itself, or B, have it take up a bobble head slot.

3. Ok now hear me out, have you ever been flying somewhere and wondered "why cant I flip any switches"? Well, now you can with Switchboard. Ever wanted to leave a station and flip all kinds of switches like they do in the movies? Well now you can with Switch board. Have you ever wanted vareus boards, some with switches and others with buttons or heaven forbid both? well now you can with Switchboard. Switchboard, something to do while you fly.

I always thought having some old fashioned dials and guage would be fun.

Such as,
•Temperature Gauge, a simple needle that ranges from 0-150%.
•Artificial Horizon, Obviously only works near planets (and docks).
•Altitude, again, planets only (and docks).
•Velocity.
•Shield and hull %

Etc etc

Fly without a HUD!

We do have a station hologram when we are heading to the station. With the new 2.4? upgrade we can detect the direction the station is facing. Adding color sound cool. But not really needed.

Now having something that show rear view. it been suggested before and I support it.

LOL I have a dual flight stick I have all kinds of switches. We also have a feature that we can test the basic before taking flight. Like Throttle up down, Arm weapon, Thrust up down left right and landing gear. I don't think we need much more. Look in option for this feature.

I think that having a rear view camera would be nice. Just make it a switchable item via the right panel (like orbit lines) so that people who don't want it can turn it off. I've often wanted to look back when leaving a station or planetary base and see them receding in the distance. In the old Elite you could use the rear view camera for this, but with the new camera suite it is still too much of an effort to directly switch to this viewpoint. Maybe they should add a configurable default starting camera view to the options? That way you could easily switch to rear view and normal view (camera suite on for rear view and off for normal view).

I could imagine Sergeant Arch Dornan giving an ear blistering rant about waiting for a firing solution and not 'eyeballing' it.
