Can't wait to take a pic of my shiny new Imp Clipper!

Sweet... I love that we will be able to start doing this AND I love that there is a Leonard Nimoy station.

nice pic Shiro

can you tell us about any limitations on it's use, where you can use it, where you can't !!, .... anything really

[Shiro]

Couldn't use it in star port while docked. not tried anywhere else to be honest. takes some getting used too. very slow and a tad cumbersome. but I really like it. We are going to see some stunning shots with it over the coming months. There is no way you could use this to any real advantage as far as I can see. once in the camera mode your ship will continue on whatever coarse you set it on. If thats on a collision coarse then well I suppose the pics will be interesting. while in the camera mode there is no way to affect the ships movement. Also the camera wont move to far away from the ship it's pretty much like taking selfies, your arm is only so long Not sure if it can be used in super cruise as I've been pretty stationary when I've tried it. I'll put some more on as I get them. like the new Vulture

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 . . .

The vulture looks pretty sweet, in an ugly kind of way. Look forward to toying around with one.

Hmmmmmm.......

Seem a bit underpowered to me......

VERY manoeuvrable though......When maxed out that is.......

But just 2 hardpoints and limited cargo space......

In real life I'll stick with my Cobra I think.......

Till I can max out an Asp that is......

Orf to try the Fer now......

When I can find one that is.......
