Request for more Viewing Platforms

Post by Treycore » Sat, 21. Jan 23, 21:11

I was reading your guys latest dev diary about the visuals and the game is already beautiful BUT…

There aren’t enough good angles to get a view in first person… whether it’s on your station/Capital Ship, it’s really hard to get a good view of everything

Can we get some sort of tower for a station that we can just walk around and get a view? Doesn’t even have to do anything else mechanically other then to give a good view

For Capital ships, we just need more rooms with windows or even a dedicated room for observation

This is just for those of us that want to sit back and admire the station/fleet that we spent hours creating and doing it in first person gives us that immense scale of how truly large everything is that we created

Live stream feature restricted to that station sounds like it would work for you. Beyond that there's the good old F2 overhead camera and numpad controls. I highly prefer the first one since it shows significant potential by following npcs while they are walking etc. It could enable so many different kind of viewing experiences, limited mainly by lack of character interaction animations.

If you target the F2 camera to view from specific turrets or such you should be able to look the external activities around that point.

What's your favourite internal view point? Bar seems to have a quite nice window, Manager room is a classic. Docks could perhaps use a higher vantage point.

Sector music on stations would be nice too.
At least in places without pre-existing background one.
