Missing "look back" keybind

[James Son]

I'm really missing a "look back" keybind as in original Elite 1984. There, you were able to look left/right and back. The first two are covered in E: D as is today (in a much better way), there is no direct way to look back though. It would be really nice to have this ability when you're leaving stations/planets (not to mention combat situations). Please place a "back" camera somewhere in all ships so we can have that ability.

Won't happen

Based on what? Already requested and rejected? Is there a link to a prior discussion or a gut feeling you have?

but would be Great.

Yeap...

It's been discussed a few times before, a lot of us seem to want it. There are a number of players who not only don't want it, but say it doesn't belong in the game due to handwavy reasons.
