Due to a family event I was not able to participate at the life stream event but I've watched the first presentation (Bernd's) on youtube. However, either I've missed this issue or it was never raised:
Monitors
As you will remember, in previous X games there is this nice feature to setup several ship monitors. Independent of the ship type you always could define an external view and/or a target view.
The first is quite useful when navigating areas with lots of obstacles, for example asteroid fields. The latter is mostly for the fun to watch from the missile view approaching the target.
In capital ships (more precise, ships with turrets) you could change a monitor to turret view (actually cycle through all turrets) and also operate the turret manually.
Hence, there are two questions here:
- 1# Will there be an option to setup additional custom ship monitors (top left/right etc.)?
2# Will it be possible to manually operate turrets?
