I can't find it. Everytime I wanted to give Eve Online a try, I wanted to play it just how I play it on Microsoft Freelancer.
But, I keep seeing third player view. I wanted to use more keyboard and less mouse - click there, click that. It doesn't seem to help my interaction. So, I don't know. I wanted to get a easy answer for a easy question.

You don't. The third person view you see is the only one there is. |

There are many keyboard shortcuts you can use though. Q to approach, W to orbit, E to keep at range, etc. You can find the list in the escape menu settings and change them as well to suit your taste. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com |

I am not a big third player view fan. So, I guess that might nail the coffin of giving Eve Online another chance or unless I feel like casually playing Eve Online AS-IS.
All well, sux. |

Haha...
That spoiled the game for me as well.
I really wanted to play as the zerg in first person view but since I can't I stopped because they said it is an RTS only.
HOW Dare they make EVE a tactical game rather then like Freelancer. "I saw him fight by the monument in Jita. -áHe flowed in his Machariel like a Shinto spirit, 800MM shells sprouting in his passing. -áHis hair flowed in the corona of his target's warp core breach. -áIt was truly majestic. -áAnd while everyone stared in awe I stole the loot and ran off.-áBecause I am like that." --áNEONOVUS |

I personally love the third person view, gives me more situational awareness. I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart. |

I once tried Sins of a solar empire but it didnt let me go into FPS mode....
OP, this is NOT Freelancer, this is EVE. Each game in the world is build differently and thus has its own mechanics and how you play it. In EVE its all from a 3rd person view. Want to have some chat in game? Need help to get into the game as a new player? Just join my channel: Crazy Dutch Guy |

EVE is more like Homeworld than Freespace.
Actually, it's very reminiscent of Homeworld. "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred..." - Niccolo Machiavelli-á |

You'd be an idiot to play eve first person. You don't realise that yet since you havnt played it much, so don't blame yourself ;)
You need to be able to SEE everything going on around you in space. Eve is a very zoomed out game so a first person view while it might look nice, would make the game almost unplayable.

Uggh, I can't stand FPS!
EVE is more of a turn-based strategy game, not a "twitch". It doesn't matter how fast your reflexes are, nor how many combo moves you can execute.

Fail at spotting a troll.
He has made the character 6 years ago, that doesnt mean he is playing for 6 years. Want to have some chat in game? Need help to get into the game as a new player? Just join my channel: Crazy Dutch Guy |

Ok, that looked like a troll to me, yep I am pretty new - so how do you know that someone who has a six year old character, has not been playing for six years?
The OP being in a noob corp shouldn't mean anything should it? I was under the impression that you can stay in any npc corp as long as you like. Forum skill obviously needs improving. Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the War Room! |

A lot of people play eve, quit, and come back, it's almost the standard. If you see a 6 year old char, it probably means they only played for a couple months 6 years ago.
No real way to be sure without seeing how many SP they have, but in general the questions they ask give things away.

Thanks for that explanation, much appreciated. I get that this can happen, though I was wondering how J'Poll knew 100% that this was the case and it was a genuine question, I thought there must have been a particular clue there that I wasn't getting that J'Poll can see, to have been so sure.
It was the question that I thought gave away the troll - not wishing to offend the OP, but 6 years, even if only played a little in that time, says to me that you would know there is no first person in this game . Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the War Room! |

There should still be the option of having a first person view.
Yes, we all know that it's "not that kind of game" and that third person is how it's meant to be played. However, maybe some people (myself included) like to imagine actually being in the ship and flying though space while sitting at our desks like it's a cockpit.
If they had a button near the "reset camera" and "autopilot" buttons which enabled first person/cockpit view that would be pretty bad ass. And by pressing it again you go back to the third person view.... easy.
And before you say it - yes, I know... according to the lore you are in a goo filled pod deep in the bowels of your ship controlling it with your mind and the view that you see is from camera drones. If you can do that with your mind, why not be able to use it to see out the front of the ship in first person?
I'm sure with all the amazing and innovative things that CCP is capable of doing regarding this game, adding this option wouldn't be such a overwhelming task... Maybe it will attract other players as well.

They know some people want a cockpit view, and it's coming. That's what EVE Valkyrie is for.
EVE Online is a fleet combat game. It's meant to give a fleet perspective, even when operating solo. You cannot have a fleet perspective from within the cockpit. They are totally different types of game with a completely different "feel." One game cannot do both.
You want to be a fleet pilot in the EVE universe? Play EVE Online.
You want to be a ground-pounder in the EVE universe? Play Dust 514.
You want to be a fighter pilot in the EVE universe? Play EVE Valkyrie when it arrives. |

I treat all threads as genuine questions, even the obvious troll ones.
Why?
Because, it can happen that a genuine new players is looking on the forum with the same / similar question and find his answer in the thread.

i've always thought EVE would be a lot more fun with a cockpit/bridge view. You'd still have the overview so you could 'see' everything around you but your actual vision would be limited to whats infront of your view window. I't be great to see our ships from a crew members perspective. Fluff wise this would be fairly contradictory as (I think) we're restricted to our pods while piloting .. but yeah. |
