True mouse look in 3rd

Sep 16, 2007 Surbius link
The topic says it all.

Since we seem to only have true mouselook while in 1st person and joysticks can act the same in 1st and 3rd person. I was wondering if it is possible to get true mouselook to work in the 3rd person view. I think this could add a bit more to combat for some of us.

I think we need a pseudo-3rd-person view first.

As in, a 3rd-person view with an adjusted HUD so you can still see where your crosshairs fall.

Exactly, because mouselook in 3rd person leaves your 1st person crosshairs right in the center where in 1st person they represent where you are pointing the camera and which direction your ship will turn.

Unlike the current setup where you practically guess where you are going to point your ship, if you make it just like 1st person then it would be very beneficial to those of us that would like to see our ship (for the hell of it) and to know where we are going to point.

Unless there are others that rely only on the current 3rd person mouselook setup. If that's the case then maybe a toggle from old to new would be nice.
