I was thinking that it would be nice to have a cockpit camera in vendetta. Correct me if i'm wrong but wouldnt this be something that is very easy and very quick to add in the game?

I've alingend the "outside" camera so that it's in the cockpit of the behemoth in this picture. I think it looks cool, and you're constatnly reminded of wich ship you are in.

nice screenshot.

This suggestion comes up fairly often, and I actually dislike it for the reason that it would block part of your vision. If you read the backstory it seems as though the pilot's consciousness was one with the ship and things would consequently be experienced from the ship's perspective anyway.

What I think would be neat is if each ship type had a different HUD that came with it. That could also serve as a visual theme or reminder.

Also- as stated before...somewhere, placing your ship's camera where the cockpit was would make some ships(like the Behemoth) hard to control, since your view would not be the center of rotation.

Don pulpito, may i ask how you did that? ^^

I would like to see mulitple viewports, so I could look left, right, up, down and behind.

Setrelosin, he likely hit F9 until you get the static camera view where you can steer the camera around, then he put it in front of his Behemoth.
