First person underground travelling#410

?

Instead of current arcade system which seems totally out of place and breaking immersion.

Allow direct moving of ship via some cabin interface, Like periscope is already there, some sensors for underground and direct control via speed and angles. Also ship should be able to move above the ground using same approach.

I don’t understand what you’re suggesting, you can already take direct control of the drillship through the pilot seat ? You’re saying you don’t want that, that you want to take control of it, which is already what the pilot seat does…?

What I think is being asked is direct driving, so not point and click, but more like ships acclerate and then steer.

Yes, instead of the top down, point and click, I would love a sort of sonar view where you are actually driving the drillship in first person. That would be awesome.

That sounds quite annoying… You’d only see rock and dirt, no ? How do you navigate that ?

With an Sonar you could do something like an X-Ray View with indications for PoE’s like Landing Spots, love this idea
