Headlook in the future? Head/Eye Tracker Support?
First just want to say how cool the game is. I've been waiting for a game like this to come along for years, and I think it's very well-executed in gameplay design and focus.

I feel a little constrained not being able to look around the cockpit a bit without turning the whole ship though. Is there a chance we'll see some form of headlook in the future?

Head and Eye Tracking support, like for the Tobii 4C, would also be amazing if it could be done.

Thanks for reading, and for the awesome game.

We're not going to add support for headlook, even though it's a cool feature, simply because the cockpits are not designed for it. We've experimented a bit on this, with a cockpit that moved with the camera while shooting with turrets, but the end result just wasn't any good, so we'd need to redesign the cockpit environments for such a feature.

I see, thanks for your response. Shame it won't be included, but I can understand the difficulties with including it at this point.

The gameplay already feels very sleek, lack of headlook isn't a handicap really. Just would have been nice to have another game with Tobii support.
