Cockpit view.

[ryoken]

Cockpit view is good for aiming main guns on Cruisers like LSC. Also good for fast docking many big ships with TLs as you do not get the sliding to one side bug. Also mining it is great. Easier to hit the rocks.

I guess I've never REALLY flown anything larger than a Gunboat. I had a cruiser but I hated it....

view from cabin of pilot is damn bad for eyes. all this bright flashings when you firing... but I learned that this view is useful when you on Liberty Cruiser or with other ''forward gun'' ship

I used to use cockpit view when I was traveling through heavy asteroid fields with my 5k in .84/.85.

I discovered it was actually quicker to self fly in those when in cruise, which was useful when being chased by NPCs.

It's amazing how much faster you pass through asteroid fields when you aren't bouncing off of every second rock in the place.

Cockpit view is the only reliable way of aiming the Liberty Cruiser's forward cannon. Aside from for that purpose, I never use it.

Mining or aiming ships' forward cannons. Nothing else...

Aside from the points already mentioned, cockpit view is also useful when chasing a target.

Switching to cockpit view limits your FoV, which makes objects look larger on the screen and if you're chasing a target, shooting it in cockpit view would give you a higher chance of landing hits. Especially in ships like gunboats or transports where the ship model itself blocks half your screen in 3rd person view.

I always play in cockpit mode. I cannot play from that "ass chase" camera.

And now I know why I always sucked with the forward gun :unsure:

I use cockpit view when I dive-bomb with the SNAC, while barrel rolling like a mad man.
