a bridge block so you can easily choose camera position and maybe in the future a first person perspective from inside the bridge. were you can see people working at workstations and radars, scanners, status displays, switches, dials and the whole nine yards

Hello, An interesting and fun idea popped to mind just now: Pilot Seat: In build mode, you would have a button that would allow you to select a block or blocks and designate them as "Pilot Seats" Add a key bind that would take the viewpoint from the games existing external view point when piloting a ship to a first person view point placed at the last used "Pilot Seat" of that ship or if none has been used yet the first designated "Pilot Seat" from the build menu or if there are none just an error message indicating "You have not yet designated a pilot set" Add a key bind that would cycle between pilot seats for that ship if in first person view mode The key bind that takes you to first person would also take you back out Because it would be fun as heck to actually feel like I was inside my fighter or on my command deck! The mechanics of flight and view should all work the same, this just moves the viewpoint to a specific location on a per ship basis For instance I built a Firefly (ish) ship and it would be fun to fly that from the cockpit point of view, even if it was from just forward of the cockpit window block - which the viewpoint would need to be, just straight forward, just past the edge of the designated block so the viewpoint would not actually be in the block - similar to how the lights work If designating any block as "Pilot Seat" would be difficult to code, then possibly adding a block for it (again the light block comes to mind) would work. Update: I just wanted to add: When multiple players pilot the same ship....yeah...each could occupy their chosen pilot seat if there were more than one, port gunner, starboard gunner, aft gunner, etc..... Thanks for all of the wonderful and dedicated work - this is truly an amazing game! Regards, Bear
