1st person expansion

September 23, 2011 6:07:30 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I know this might be a bit off-the-wall, but I would love to see an expansion that integrates 1st person space combat.  When engaging in an epic Sins fleet battle, I wish I could "jump" into the cockpit of one of the fighters and take part in the battle (my Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar flight stick is getting dusty .

As cool as that would be, we're talking about a total impossibility for the engine.

If you're trying to perform decently in the battle, managing your fleet from a whole-battle perspective is better. Besides, it's not like there's all that much to do... turn, fire until ship is dead, turn a bit, fire more...

Sins was made to be a 4x/RTS, not a FPS of some sort.

Not that this capability wouldn't be interesting, but...

A guy walks into a suit store.  He picks a nice suit from the rack and then requests numerous alterations--change the color, change the pattern on the fabric, etc.  The sales clerk then asks if what he really wants is a different suit.
