First/Third Person and FOV
N-Sunderland:
Question 1: Do you use first or third person, and why?
Question 2: What field of view setting do you use?
I always go first person myself. It's much better for engineering. It's easier to judge distances to components, easier to make jumps around the ship, etc. Third person seems like it would be useful for piloting, but I just can't break a habit.
As for FOV, after it became scalable I decided to stick with the minimum. Part of it is just that I'm used to it, but the other thing is how it scales onto guns. When I played around with maximum FOV when it was released, I found that because the guns were designed alongside the original FOV, going maximum would distort distances to enemy ships and make it harder to judge range when off the gun. So I decided to stick with the minimum.
What about you guys?
PzychoDude:
^this and max FOV, i like to see all the things around me.
as for guns, i didn't notice any difference but as soon as the slider got there i turned it max so i'm used to it i guess.
-Muse- Cullen:
I sit at full FoV cos I like being able to see as much as I can and being able to react as quick as possible. Also helps me combat tunnel vision.
Y...you can go into third person?!
PzychoDude:

You can toggle first and third person by pressing P.

To be fair to Cul, he's the least experienced CA we have. He got the position more for how motivated he was (and is) to help the community.
