Rear camera view pls

[Vasea Azure]

Dear FD team, please give us rear cam screen in our cockpit.
I damaged my ship so many times while dog fighting with flight assist off in asteroid belts by just smashing my ship's rear end into the rock.

Could we also get that *beep beep* sound when flying in reverse?

kthxbye


srsly +1 for rear view and external view is needed too.

Asteroids and other such objects do appear on your sensors.

Optimal range setting is usually one up from the lowest, which should give you at least 500-1000m of warning. If you need more, you probably need more practice or more flight assist.

Sorry but what I need is the rear view mirror Its simple yet effective.

Not saying a rear view mirror or camera wouldn't be nice, but the sensor display works nearly as well for avoiding ships and asteroids.

I'm actually in favour of this request, it was a capability in the original Elite, along with rear firing weapons.

Slowed down, aligned on the Krait's attacking and - let them have it.

Yup it works, but I remember from old Elite that we had a some sort of camera and it would make sense and be very helpful to have one in new game too.

we do have backwards firing weapons, at least after a fashion with the turrets. but it would be neat if we had something like that maybe inform of a screen like in the com's or notifications panels that shows you a view like a backup camera on newer cars.

Been asking fro rear view since alpha and David B said they were working on it... so fingers crossed!

Maybe that's what the little video screen between your legs is supposed to be...

That's exactly what I was thinking

the only direction you should be moving is forward, don't ever look back. =)

ha, no a rear view camera would be pretty cool. cars of today have them, yet advanced spacecraft of the future have probably the worst radar system i've ever seen and no cameras to see. that is a bit odd, even for those "immersion" fans out there.

I used to really enjoy flipping the ship over to get a few shots in while my military lasers cooled down. I miss the rear view.

IIRC I used to mount my mining laser on the left or right view too.
