A recurring community request on the Elite Dangerous subreddit calls for an enhanced external camera system. Players highlight that other space sims like X4, Everspace 2, and No Man's Sky provide external cameras locked on their axis, allowing quick look-around and external HUD visibility, which improves gameplay immersion. The request stresses that since most commanders play solo, concerns about unfair dogfighting advantages are minimal. Additionally, players want the game to remember external camera positions and offer presets per ship to avoid resetting each session. This reflects ongoing demand for quality-of-life improvements in Elite Dangerous.
- Request includes camera axis lock and external HUD display.
- Players want camera position saved per ship to avoid resets.
