If you put a block you CAN get into facing a different direction though, you CAN look a different direction.
For instance, a sideways facing weapons computer will let you look sideways when you are in it. It will, however, also send your viewpoint to the SD cockpit you last used in the main ship if you used one (otherwise it defauts to the weapons computer\'s location), so if you recently used the main ship, you may find yourself looking sideways or wherever from the nose of your vessel (or wherever you placed the camera blocks you used last).
I recently made a vessel that makes use of this as an experiment for a multiple-crewmember ship, where there are two computers with some weaker weapons facing off to each side. I\'ve yet to test out how feasible it is, nor have I tested something I WANT to test (if you are in the weapons comp and use up/down to enter a docked fighter or a turret, then when you cycle back around you enter the main ship\'s core and face forward like usual, not the weapons computer you were in before). Specifically, I want to test what happens if someone gets in the weapons comp and cycles up or down through docked items while I am in the core. Do they go back to the weapons computer they were in? Or do they simply not have the option of going back to any part of the main ship via up/down while someone else is in its core? Or does it just confuse the hell out of a server?
