External Camera (my last thread)

[Kraenor]

My last thread, i took the time to do a video, like i said in a topic before, i think that making suggestions to frontier is like talking to a wall... i made a topic of external camera like a year a go, i saw topics from 2015 talking about the same...

In the video I just talk about 1 topic... external camera, don't want to make more of ship interiors, Eva, improved features already in game, like more missions, game loops, etc.....

Quick External Camera and Camera Suite should be separate keybinds. I'm grateful the Camera Suite exists though. Please, don't remove it.
Near the end of the video, to make it remember the last position for the next time you press it, that's also a fine idea.

There are space sim games which default to 3rd person view, so it's definitely playable. For some people, it's also more comfortable playing in 3rd person, so I say give them the ability to do so. Complete HUD and all.

For everyone who says that it's a PvP advantage:
Some people literally can't imagine what's happening in the 3D space around them based only on radar and the target model vector. They NEED to see the situation. It's a different wiring in brain. For them, this would be an accessibility thing. I say, give it. It would be a crutch that in high skill levels wouldn't make much of a difference, but would bring the skill levels a bit closer, making PvP more fair and thus interesting for all involved.

The external camera suite was heavily revised/totally rewritten back around 2019 so any comments or complaints from before then are pretty much irrelevant.
