Aiming reticle in 3rd person flight?

[Spksh]

So, first off, forgive me if this is a silly question. I'm a space/sim player from way back, but I never got into the X series. X3 is my first, so be gentle

Anyway, I much prefer 3rd person flight to the cockpit-less view. But there's no aiming reticle and I snap back into first-person whenever I fly to another sector.

What would I be looking at to write a script/mod to give me an aiming reticle in 3rd person and set 3rd person as the default view?

I have some scripting experience.

i dont think that would be possible
scripts dont usually give you asses to the interface itself

however i remeber something that was done in wuake's chase came view, where they just swpaned an object infront of you and used it as like a crosshair that moved aorund when you changed direction, maybe something like that might be possible but im not sure
