Playing com shooter reminded me heavily of how awkward I found it to navigate with it, I keep getting disorientated as my facing position and movement position arent matched, and I think being able to see the unit your controlling would help a lot.

Indeed
Edit: Wait a minute, wouldn't a third-person view cause vision and aiming problems?

+1000. Gimme that, and gimme the ability to make CAI units quit shooting accurately while a player is in a 3rd-Person POV (or make players more accurate than the AI-controlled units, which would probably be far easier to do) and I will make an awesome mod just to use that.
But the 3rd-person controls must, positively must, be like Freelancer's

Because that's how every single game using that POV for controlling vehicles should do it

I'm making a mod with noraus that would benefit greatly from 3rd person view. I think its a good idea.

I don't have a need for it myself, but I can see an application or six. I support this message.

Trolling isn't always obvious and usually subtle, I believe what I posted was pure, obvious sarcasm.
