    I dont know if this has been suggested before, but i'd love to view my ship sort of from above and control the direction of fire without changing the direction of ship movement. Anyone who played freelancer might know that view, you were able to enable it by pressing "H" if i remember.

    You can zoom out a fair distance behind your ship\'s core by pressing holding shift and scrolling the mouse wheel.

    That the view cannot be changed without turning the ship has, yes, been complained about before. There is currently no way to deal with this.

    Oh and an option to make every cannon fire straight forward (or randomly like scattering) would also be great. I have 60 or more cannons on some ships and it makes killing many tiny targets tideous.

    Alright not the most user friendly method but here you go...

    1)You need to holf left shift...

    2)While holding left shift zoom out...

    3)Now while holding left shift press right shift...

    4)Presto you now have free look...holding left shift only maintains heading so you don\'t turn while looking around...let go of left shift and your ship starts doing strange turning stuff when looking around...
