Hi!
I'm not sure if this has been suggested before or not, but if it is, I guess this is a bump of sorts.
I love to play the game in Third-Person mode. While Piloting, especially, or otherwise. I feel it gives me a bit of extra FOV, and that could very well just be a placebo effect, but that's not the point.
My suggestion here, is that I would love to still have the DOT, or crosshair, present on my screen even while I'm in third person.
I have no problems aiming at components or flying a ship while in third person, but my main complaint here is that, while piloting, I don't have that DOT to allow me to B my targets. It makes it difficult in this new day where there are tons of new players, and simply saying "SHOOT THE GOLDFISH!", or, "SHOOT THE TARGET THAT'S A BIT HIGHER UP!", or even, "NO, NOT THAT SHIP, THE OTHER ONE! WT#$&@!!!" doesn't work.
I hate having to switch back and forth from Third Person to First Person just so I can tag a target, to let my crew know that I mean business. I wish I still had a dot so I could simply do it in Third Person.
this would also have a huge impact on making AI shoot at the correct target, while in Third-Person view.
As it stands, while in third person, I have to just randomly hit B while twitch-aiming at a target until it finally registers. However, with a dot, that problem would disappear.
I don't know how many other people are on my side here, but this is just a personal suggestion; I think it'd be a good idea. I think that Third Person is the master race for this game, but that lack of crosshair is very disarming, in my honest opinion.
Either way, I'm really loving the improvements being made to the game thus far, and I'd like to give kudos to Muse for doing such a great job trying to keep the game balanced and fresh, even for the old vets, and myself.
Cheers!
