LadyKulvax Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 BiOWare, will this include the classic cockpit view point that felt so amazing in X-wing vs TIE Fighter? if so, fantastic! if not, please god implement it, nothing ever felt as good in a space sim than being sat in the cockpit of a TIE Fighter shooting down Rebel scum, please god implement cockpit POV if it isn't already a part of the update.

Angedechu Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I agree, but we will be called complainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_Mu Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I agree, but we will be called complainers. By some who have nothing better to do than shoot down others. (No pun intended). It's a pretty valid request for some. I'm horrid at flying ships from cockpit view but I'd support the motion to include the option to play from cockpit view.

MaximusRex Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Cockpit view and joystick/gamepad support! Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I would support both, and believe that both would be well received as options. Especially the joystick option....I feel that is almost required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xakthul Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hmm..... They need to make the view switchable, though. NOT by scrolling the mouse. The mouse-wheel zoom is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angedechu Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Another suggestion, for implementing pay wall distinctions Subbers get the equivalent of TIE Defenders and Missile Boats, freeers get Z-95s and TIE fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceasaigh Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There is first person and 3rd person view in game already. Don't see why it would be any different in fighters. We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoskitoMando Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes yes yes, I'd love to have a cockpit view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anysao Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't intend to ever use cockpit view. I like third person... But I'm supporting you, just because you said "Rebel scum". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambunctious Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) It's going to be bad if it has auto leveling. Meaning you always fly on a set parallel plane, and the ships don't really have yaw, pitch, and roll. I hope it the ships have YPR stats, and you aren't auto leveled. I really need joystick controls. I wouldn't mind a first person view, which is what I prefer, but I always turned off the cockpit textures in XvT, and XWA. It blocked too much of my view.

CrazyOldMystic Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The cockpit view and the joystick question is two questions they really need to answer. I loved cockpit view in swg, especially on the imperial fighters, but if they are going to do 12 vrs 12 pvp in space joystick to me is a must have. Its kinda sad really they will probably ignore these two questions and never answer, but they are perfectly willing to answer is it free lol. Money first, the star wars universe second. I would assume we have complete control of our fighters if they are talking about pvp, if not that would be a major let done, and in that case well swtors rep would be dead permanently.

Just read the main promotions, it says free-flight 12 vs 12 space PVP, emphasis on the free-flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyOldMystic Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 So I missed a key word how dare I. I watched the vid read over the promotions and scammed the details. Simple reason why? I did a unforgivable sin of working the today and yesterday with a bad leg. How dare I not read word for word. Game forums somethings never change.

DarthSabreth Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I agree, I don't think it would be hard to implement a switchable view, its just a cockpit with a window, perhaps add a radar for the target you are fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Haze Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I too would love to see a cockpit view supported. Even if it's just a static 2D image of a cockpit I'd still be happy about it, but obviously a fully rendered 3D cockpit that you can freely look around would be the best.

CKHelseth Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There is first person and 3rd person view in game already. Don't see why it would be any different in fighters. We shall see Well the first person view we have is a bit different than what they are asking for. If they apply the current method it wouldn't be a cockpit, you just wouldn't see the ship at all.

aeterno Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) It would be neat but I seriously doubt it. If you look at the field of free roaming space PvP games like Star conflict and their PvE cousins ala Strike suit zero, nobody is doing cockpit view nor joystick support. At best you get the full zoom in option. It's clearly a more arcade-esque control scheme/approach. Cockpit view and joysticks are the domain of full fledged flight sims. This is not it I'm afraid. Which is probably a good thing as proper flight sims lack mass appeal. I mean most people chucked their joysticks in the bin in 1999.

jedip_enguin Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If it had cockpit view you'd have seen it in the trailer, let it go peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicktopus Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hmm..... They need to make the view switchable, though. NOT by scrolling the mouse. The mouse-wheel zoom is annoying. Just rebind your keys like I did, my camera zoom is on the numpad and my scroll wheel is used for abilities. Just to add: I don't see any reason you couldn't zoom in to a first-person view.

CrazyOldMystic Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If it had cockpit view you'd have seen it in the trailer, let it go peeps. One problem the final version does not go live till February 8th, there is a lot of time between then and now. I would think the devs want to get this right. So to me its a possibility. If they want to gather in as many star wars fans as possible, they really should look at joystick and cockpit view, otherwise its just going to flop. Not really hurt the game much but not really help it out. No one will ever trust a expansion in this game again if they just do it the simple way.
