Keep warping 1st person

This is pretty low-priority, but I often wish warping and wormhole jumping would maintain the 1st-person viewpoint. Just some lights streaming past the camera would work.

I'd prefer this to be a player selected option. Some players will prefer first-person, others would prefer the third-person view we have now.

Cool idea. Stamp of Approval.

You can make it first person if you can time pressing k just right with pressing enter. It's difficult, but if you can get the CharInfo popup to happen after you lose control of your ship, sometimes you warp in first person. Sometimes you warp and the camera's halfway across the sector. It's pretty cool. I would like it if they set it up to use a random camera angle when you warp, instead of the boring default. That'd be cool.

Dang nabbit, you all got into my box of approval stamps! I demand my stamps back, so I can stamp this one.

I like what rogue said about making it random with a set of differnt view that are possible, one of them being FP POV. I'd also like it someday to show the jump inside of hyperspace? or where ever it is the ships go, and when your about to re-emerge see the hole open up to normal space.
