New external Camera....

[Flip]

I gave the Vulture a try, today, and its major problem is the power plant, I think. I wanted to try the plasma accelerator, but there was no way I could deploy it without loosing everything (including thrusters), and that was with a A4 power plant (the biggest you can fit on that ship).

@Kharma: you can find the FDL at Dalton Gateway in LHS 3447.

I stupid how do you do it? Cant see where to key bind it or anything! What am i missing?

Ctrl-alt-spacebar enables/diables the selfie cam. I read that somewhere. I have no beta access.

Cheers Geezer....

And yep I cant fit A5 shield gens because it will go over...Also got 2 utility slots free because I cant put anything in them...

Looks like the camera is borked in beta 3........

Just when I got an FDL as well.....

Basts......

[Flip]

It's not borked, it's just the hot key. They added a bind for the cam, and apparently binds only support one modifier key at the moment. So Ctrl+Alt+Space no longer works. Look for it in the Options > Controls screen, and give it a new hot key with only one modifier. Then it will work.

I fecking looked in controls as well........

Bah........

Fooking alcohol............

Big rocks in RES as well.......Never been to one before.....

Made a few bob though.......

I'm holding out judgement on the FDL........Needs a few more spins......

Couldn't use it in star port while docked.

I did. I found myself in the pipework under the landing pad, but movement was restricted. Only interesting if you're a plumber.
Out in the black you can't move very far from your ship and you can't bump into it - it's like there's a force field around it. You can get close enough to see an empty pilot's seat, which must mean that it's not a camera but you in an EV exploit - you're really out there. If you rotate away from your ship it's an amazing experience. Best thing in a program I rate very highly.

Edit: I see it's now working for the Rift. Just imagine . . .

Walter, the empty pilot seat thing exists in the game's current statement not just a debug camera thing. If u do a flyby of a friend or group member you won't see the pilot in the ship, probably not until FD implements the avatar system moving in/around your ship. Even in the ship you are only rendered from the chest down.
