Look Behind

Post by Sarudak » Fri, 24. Dec 10, 05:37

Is there any easy way to look behind you? I mean... Where's my rear view mirror? What if I need to back into parking? Or avoid laser bolts?

Or F2 twice for those of us with crappy number pads (will apply to crappy laptops too)

Or, if you have a rear turret, F1 will generally switch you into that...only applies if you DO have a rear turret, of course, and not all of those have a direct backward view by default.

I often use top and bottom turrets for overall view,after using 3rd person perspective.

If you have a rear turret, set one of your monitors to your own ship then F1 to the turret in that monitor. There's your rearview mirror.
