Ok, this is awesome. I use a track ball, aimed up and got a great view from above!
It would be cool to add in a height capability assigned to keys for up and down for the detached camera
These are EXCELLENT!
After today's PvP's I started thinking about the Naval strategies and tactics that were in vogue during "The Age Of Sail" and I had started some searches. These are exactly what I was looking for, thank you gdir!
Perhaps one other avenue to display these would be allowing a player to "walk the dock" and look at any ships that happen to be docked in the port that they are in at that moment. While it may not add a lot to playability it would add to the overall ambiance of the game.
