I love 1st person, I want to STAY in 1st person in everything I do.

Please reinstate a fully FIRST person mode for those of us who don`t want to be flipped around in 3rd.

You started the game as 1st person, you touted it as 1st person, then you screwed us 1st personers by shoving 3rd person in some things with no choice to go 1st.

I`ve asked this several times even posted to your email. Heck I even did fan artwork for your damn game on release. Stop ignoring people like me.

Please change this.

No one from HG is going to see this here. If you haven't already, I'd suggest posting a request through their zendesk.

Once I change the view in the quickmenu (key command X > scroll left to Settings > last item on the right), it will STAY as I set it (3rd person view or 1st person view) and I can even assign a shortcut to toggle it with CTRL + nr.
Also the ship view and avatar view can be set separately and also will STAY as you set them.

Driving the exocraft is probably the main complaint about third person perspective. I'm not too fond if it myself. On the other hand, driving around in first person view I would certainly end up nose down inside a cavern a lot more often than I do now. Which may not be a bad thing! Blasting across the landscape at full speed while knowing there are canyons and gullies nearby is probably not wise.

There's also a pull-out to third person when interacting with the teleporter, monoliths, etc.

Yep, what I said above doesn't apply for Exocrafts, they are always in 3rd person view. But as you said a sort of cockpkit view would be cumbersome, your view severly limited.
