I've been thinking about this from the very first moment i tried the free roam cam and realized my ship barely fits into the picture. Why is the range so limited? Having more range (or no range restriction at all) would enhance our Elite experience a great deal, especially for Horizons.
Many people who like to role play and those who enjoy taking screen shots and are very limited by this restriction, as are those who make youtube videos (and who are basically advertising the game for free). This would benefit both the community and FD. The reason I put this to a poll, is because I have a feeling it will be a landslide "yes" and since this would take a single dev about 5mins to implement, I want to see if they are listening to the community. If the large majority vote "yes", then its not a question of do people want this, or difficulty/time and resources to make it happen, but rather a question of, do any devs actually read these forums and can those participating here make a difference?
The reason for this post however, is because this isnt a small thing, this to me would be a huge feature! Although obviously i wouldnt be happy about it, I think i would even be willing to pay an expansion fee to have it. I want it that bad!
Also before the Vultures jump on me, I should point out this isnt a whine post, or one that suggests that FD isnt doing their job, as I think they are, and a wonderful job at that. Also Im sure nowhere in the job description does it say that "they must follow and do what the community suggests". Its more like going above and beyond of whats expected. So I'm not exactly sure this will happen, but man would it be a nice surprise to see "debug cam range increased" in the next update.
Please leave your comments/suggestions/Votes. And if you believe there is a good reason for this range restriction, please explain why.
