External Views

This might be a silly question, but have external views always been like this:



I could have sworn the ship was more central than that in the past!

I just had a look - it seems to me that the ship is a little closer in external views than before.

Every ship can have its own unique positions for external views. I think that now more time is spend to give each ship is own, most optimal external views. I assume it are the positions Griff thought to be the best.

i've used the view settings from the core game in the latest oxp update, the camera was positioned a bit further out before in the older versions but i think it was making the textures a bit mip-map blurry

It could stand to go up a little though

I think kanthoney is right... I think some shipsets (including I believe the original core shipset) place the external camera views pointing directly at the ship. The new shipset places them looking over the top. I actually prefer this as it makes the external views more useful. (In my Broke Adder game I now tend to switch to a rear external view when docking, as it gives me a good impression of my position in relation to the docking bay))

A pic is usually better if the subject isn't centered, in either axis. For good pics, turn the hud off.

Not centered, just resting on the HUD

For really good pics of your ship, install something like  Camera Drones from the OXZ manager (if you ain't already got it, that is).
