Bring back 1st person shooter.

I know it's a long shot, but if I were to throw in a request at all, it would be for the triumphant return of the 1st person shooter option. I can't seem to get used to 3rd person view to attack enemies. It's simply distracting. A lot of games are 1st person shooter mode and the ground combat in Star Trek Online was really fun when it was an option. I understand not everybody uses 1st person shooter mode, but a lot of us do. Not sure why it was taken out to begin with. You should be looking to add options and content instead of taking away popular ones.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

    Press "b" to toggle between "rp mode" or "shooter" mode.

    The shooter mode is 3rd person view not as the op requests 1st person

    Yes. Pressing "B" keeps you in third person mode, but gives you a type of cross-hair to shoot at enemies as if you were in 1st person...but your not.

    I got it from the get-go. It probably won't return. But I wanted to throw it out there. Maybe the CEO/President of CBS will be having breakfast in the morning and accidentally click on these forums and make it happen...

    ...speaking of longshots.

    Elite Force runs on one of the Quake engines, and even being dated, it's leaps and bounds better than the wonky unresponsive ground gameplay in STO. Even in first person, it mostly sucks.

    I also would like a photon launcher, tyvm.
