[UI] First person mode On Full zoom idea

Hi, I think the new update is GREAT but I think you can do A little bit better like adding : First person view on full zoom only so you can look around without zooming back out.
Reason being if you zoom all the way in you can see in the distance boxes and npc's approaching in front like looking out the front window.
E.G at the moment it work's one way only and that's UP, to elaborate i can see and kill the npc's that come down the screen approaching (they start small then get bigger) but they can't be seen from the left, right or down.
It would be nice to use tdome formation fully Zoomed in and be able to attack from any direction you see the npc's approach (You cant move with this formation).

 

i was thinking of the same idea but able to move and fight in it, but the ones not in direct view you do have radar for. secondly, in flight mechanics, you must also consider pitch (the angle the craft is pointing between 90 and -90 degrees). but then you're going into a flight simulation, which kinda strays from DO's original game top down game mechanic. there are ways to fix this problem, by limiting the the "field of engagement." cant go too far up, nor too far down. which you're adding more colliders into the program. the only other problem is targeting, player targets move, to avoid fire, and heavy fire, so an auto adjusting lock-on, or high velocity rotation controls, to help fix that problem. all of this begs the question, is it a possible good idea. personally i think so. probably not gonna happen anytime soon, since i've been playing d.o since 2011 and it just now launched 3D mode for DO. the limits of this game mode should be within the environment, not gameplay restrictions. so you might want to edit your idea some.

No no no, Nice idea but not BSG, thats far to complicated. My idea is already view able in the game but its only in the upward view visual E.G In galaxy gate when you have the circle of npc ships around you but you goto full zoom you only see the top half or third.
It would be nice to rotate that view only when zoomed in on your ship to see the npc ships bellow you.
Thank you for sharing your idea though.
