[UI] Camera alignment

Ever since the 3D update came out, I've been wanting to see one and one feature only: camera alignment. That is, to make the camera lock into position behind the ship, and rotate when the ship turns.

I believe this will make the game, and combat especially much more immersive. It shouldn't be difficult, either. The camera tends to turn 45 degrees counterclockwise in base when you start up the client, and I think that can be easily changed to a customizable view.

The only thing that might be tricky would be the movement. Because of the 2D plane and lack of "terrain", distances might seem wonky. This can be somewhat negated by adding a fog or debris layer.

However, this view will give a disadvantage in pvp fights, as you will only see whats in front of you, but creating an option for this will make the boring PvE so much more exciting.

 

Agreed. It's the small additions to the game that can make it much more exhilarating and enjoyable for players. Being able to stare down a bbk while I shoot it would be be a lot more interesting than looking down on it from the top of my camera view. Not only would this offer a new perspective for players, but open the opportunity for personal screen customization to fit each individual player's preference.

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
