I completely agree. I would have waited until this was changed to buy the game if I had known it wasn't first person. Options are nice to have, but I want to play in first person.

Agreed: Vote+1 for 1st person view

I have to say, Dogfighting is the strongest plus in this game. It's the ONLY reason Star Trek Bridge Commander was such a big hit. Being IN the fight, rotating your ship to avoid too much impact on one shield alone, firing your rear torpedos while zipping around and firing two more into the enemies hull. That is what made bridge commander awesome for so many years. I don't want a point and click game. I want a game where my movements matter. Where I am in charge. THAT makes me feel like I'm in the game.

If people don't want to dogfight, they can remain in third person view while we, who wish to play in first person can zoom into first person when we feel the need.

That was the weakness of Eve Online. They had point and click interface for moving around, and no control over movement of your ship. In my eyes that's what made that game fail so badly. I bought star trek expecting something different. Expecting to be immersed into the Star Trek universe, feeling like I'm apart of this world that I've always until now only been able to watch on television from a distance.

If you can't even zoom into first person to be a part of it, my vision is still incomplete, and this game does not fully complete that dream that I know most Star Trek fans have had for many, many years.

To be able to take part in the Star Trek Universe as if you are really there.

Does Cryptic actually read these?

Agreed: Vote+1 for 1st person view

it would be so much better i can stand see my self either plus Fist person view would be easyer to move around

+1 For First Person View.. I actually was blown away I couldn't zoom into 1st person.. Especially in ground mode, like wtf?! Now when I'm fighting on the ground and zoom all the way in, my screen is covered with my ugly bent over ass and I can't see to my left side!! I've died many times crouched zoomed in attacking an enemy with no clue I was being flanked from the left.. To add to the spoilage, when zoomed in full, it lags so much more because it has to display my character shooting as well lagging and many times crashing my computer..

A response would be nice to maybe clarify the reason we can't have first person?? Oh well.. I have 1 mission I havent done and its bugged so I guess I'm off to the same fleet action to repeat over and over until I level and get more missions...

vote+1 for 1st person view for ground assault...

First person is a must to keep me subbed. I cannot play like this. I mean, why not even the option to scroll in? These are the things that make or break an MMO.

Yea, I'd say ground assault is a must definitely. Space would be nice just for aesthetic reasons though. You can just about zoom in all the way in space anyway.

There are many times I want to go First Person on the Ground, because the camera angles are just annoying.

Last night, I was pinned by a Klingon against the wall, and I couldn't even see myself, so i didn't know if I was facing him or had my back to him. This wouldn't happen if it was First Person.
