Allow looking straight down so less people jump their ships.

I can't believe you outright promote this blatant deterioration of morale here! Treachery!
All powder monkeys and swabbies I've ordered to get planked for a spot know they didn't die in vain because they served the greater cause by sacrificing their life. Not a single crew member executing this maneuver complained about it to me afterwards.

Instantly derailing the discussion overridden by hilarity. Well played.

Lol,  :D
But I think that not being able to see below the ship is a good thing.

Battles are won in the third dimension, and the blind-below allows fancy maneuvers like hydro-uppercut and escape-below-the-enemy.

Thank you for the compliment! - And fuck you for making it sound sarcastic so I feel obliged to make a constructive contribution on this topic!
Anyway, here you go - words of reason against Sprayers populist propaganda in which he elevates a crew members life to a valuable entity (such a silly concept):

Not knowing where an enemy directly above/underneath you is and moves is extremely dangerous. However before ending up in such a situation the crew almost always had a time slot where they could have made the spot. Hence I think it's just fair the enemy can capitalize on their information advantage. Personally I really like the panic an unspoted ship this close to you can induce (I've even heard about people jumping off the ship because they can't stand the pressure anymore).

Exactly. I love sneaking up on enemies below/above. So much panic, so much scraps.

Sarcastic, Stupic Comment:
I mean, have you tried a Spire Ambush? Go in above them, chute, and stomp them. Instakill!
