The camera system looks fantastic, and there were a number of options there in the UI that they didn't show off. Exciting stuff!

Damn right it wouldn't it was billed a first-person game.
Excluding the possibility of 3rd person combat.
This does look awesome btw

I think it'll be ok if people can fight in 3rd person because they'll presumably just be killed in 3rd person without access to their sights and instruments and menus. So it would allow for spectacular combat shots when players are intentionally being a combat "film set" for each other, or a ship recording real combat but unable to actually contribute much real damage. I don't think people are going to want to suffer such a heavy disadvantage out in the wild. (Griefers might find some annoying behavior that it enables, but that's to be expected)
We'll just wait a few weeks and find out!

There is no evidence that you can even lock-on in that view,i'm assuming not.
Good luck fighting without a radar, power distributor, etc
Turrets, with a CMDR handling them...
But you are correct sir, proper fighting should be from within the cockpit... VR style.
It's about time.
Or better yet.
Someone can man the camera, and another flies the ship.
Considering I have no intention of fielding turreted guns any times soon, that might be all that's left for a gunner to do on an fdl, python, corvette etc etc.

It's also going to be great fun with the camera on the SRV on (say) a dusty surface, hill climbing, valley running, etc.
Not to mention shots with the SLF ...
am salivating here hehe.
Yes it's a bit weird...
Have you watched the show, or did you google it? If it's the former, how about that ending?
I think the books bothered me the most!
As I said in the livestream thread, I'm fervently hoping those actions will still be bindable to continuously variable, analog controller axes, as that is central to how I use the camera for DarkenSpace externals: via gradually varying the speed of motion in multiple axes during the course of a single shot.
As long as I can still do that, I can see myself having WAY too many camera options to choose from after 2.3 lands. What a beautiful problem that will be!
Technically you can, from what I saw, but you won't have access to your HUD during combat.

Maybe I'm reading too much into things, but I really do feel like they're setting us up for space-legs....even if only within the confines of our ships!

On face value its an improvement but its yet to be seen how much freedom it will offer. That said something just occurred to me.
I wonder if when combined with multicrew if it will allow player crew to engage camera mode, thus allowing those not in command of the helm to be camera men. Potentially making for some awesome combat footage to be captured, etc..
They didn't seem to want to go into it in too much detail. Perhaps they are saving that for the next stream?
