Something Odd I Just Noticed.

[Riz]

I am suspecting the original intent of of the "in cockpit" views might have been for the toon to move around the ship as you access different functions. I only suspect this because I stumbled across the fact that the TS ship has 2 control chairs in it. When you are in ship viewing your avatars back, and you select to view your cargo, it jumps your view to an empty chair in the nose of the ship.

Here is a couple shots in sequence to show the original chair and the placement of the second chair in relation to it.

I know this happens on the TS at starting hull, and at final hull, but I have not checked the hull between. However I suspect it will continue throughout the entire line of the ship.

Interesting catch, adding to my minor bugs list.

If you look real quick, that view is on all Terran ships. It usually disappears as the view shifts, maybe to suggest you are sitting in the empty seat.

Should only make you invisible in full first person.

The second chair has always been there I am pretty sure - it's all on ships not just Terran. While in First person view on my JD I can see the chair in front of the Captains chair if I press 'I' for Inv or 'U' or 'Y' to bring up the missions.. 'I' will show you the view from the left of the Capt's chair and 'U' will show you the view from the right - bringing up the map will actually seat you in the second chair which is directly in front of the Captains chair . There is only one vacant chair in front of the captains chair, just different angles of the same chair. You may notice the terminals which display the Inv or Missions waiting to be accessed.

I would absolutely love to be able to walk around inside my ship.

Well you are going to have to have the rest of the ship to walk around in then. I think the Official Devs were wanting to do such. I am also going to say to look at these pictures. The door that is behind the center seat says it all man.

Awesome pics.

Not only are there 2 chairs but 4! They are hard to see unless you hold down the CTRL key while using you mouse to pan around. Unfortunately the view springs back to center once it hits the edge of the FOV.

Yah it would be sweet if we could use that door, if only to check on the cargo. Maybe smack around some deviant diplomats who get outta line with all that whining.
