while an interesting idea, EvE is not exactly supposed to be a flight simulator. Its an rpg.

In the most broad sense of the word where anythign with character progression is considered an RPG... then yeah, kinda.

You're already seeing everything from your character's viewpoint. The camera drone interfaces directly into the visual cortex. The only other FP view you could get is the pitch black, goo-filled interior of your pod.
If you mean a bridge view, that wouldn't make any sense since you're not on the bridge.

the reason 1st person is not used i believe is because it causes more lag for the client than a simple 3rd person view

Not quite first person perhaps, but I would like to be able to lock the camera drone in relation to the ship. What I mean is if I lock the camera straight behind the ship, it will always stay straight behind the ship looking in the direction my ship is facing no matter how much my ship turns.

And it would be easy to fix a camera to the front of the ship to give a first person perspective...

I don't know how much programming it would take, but I would really like a first-person view.

1st person camera in a capital ship, i think is pointless

It would be cool if you could board other ships and go into 1st person view. Have a team with you and kickass

Do you really want to enter a ship all covered in goo and stiff from not moving in who knows how long? Plus, your ship would be a sitting duck.
Also, I don't think you can do anything to a ship since everything's controlled from a pod that's inaccessible from inside the ship.

He never said bridge view, he said first person view. What's stopping you from sticking a camera drone to the front of your ship?
I think it'd be cool, but pointless. Kinda like the first person view in homeworld - cool, but you can't really play the game from it.

It have perfect reason to have it and there is perfect reason why CCP didn't implement it :)
If we would have 1st person view we would be able navigate our ships with ease. Actually navigate ship is stresing operation and master it take months. Simply with 3rd person view is really dificult to move ship in right direction especially when no one can double click stright behind ship because ship is there and it open cargo instead move ship that way.
I perfectly understand to this suggestion and also understand why particuallary CCP rufusing to do it from beta time. It was asked in 2003.

I have heard other people say that as well. I must be missing something here because from day 1 I never had any trouble navigating.

I have to agree here, I find it very easy to navigate, and would probably find it quite difficult if things were controlled from a first person view. The thing about it being controled via a joystick etc is that not everyone is good at that kinda thing and those who have been good at it for ages would suddenly be wtfpwning everyone who just had to go buy a joystick to play EVE..
Also doesn't make too much sense to do that with a BS does it.

I'm with the 1st person view is a bad idea crowd. These are large capital ships. I for one do not want it scaled down. I'd rather see everything possible done to further drive in the fact that these ships are quite large.

it would give EVE a completely new perspective, just something like a point-of-view sight of what we would see from the*****pit.
i was just thinking of it as being a option you can choose from. that way no-one loses.

Actually the players who are waiting for useful content to be released would lose.
A*****pit, or first person or whatever kind of view would be 100% useless and would be fun for about 3 seconds.
Then everybody will have 3 seconds of fun and CCP will have wasted time on something people will rarely use.

Another thing to consider is that we use turrets on our ships. There's no need to look forward to see what we're shooting at--the real benefit of it in most flight games. And if you're in a BS do you really want to wait for the ship to turn around to look at or target what you're shooting at?

The original poster never said anything about controlling the ship from first person view. And it wouldn't take a lot of coding, you'd just have to stick a camera in front of the ship and add a button for it. Not a big deal either way, but it's hardly a massive undertaking. CCP have wasted their time on far more pointless and time-consuming endeavers than this.

You actually walk aboard your ship, into the coc-kpit (lol@dwf) and sit down in your pilot seat! De e őla cool assŐ!!
Oh, you say? EVE pilots are pod pilots embedded in ferrogel googeligoogoo? Hm, well then we cant have this can we...
Was it ferrogel? Probably some other goey googeligoogoo then.
