Eve online style controls and view?

[ArkGamingHD]

Just wanted to know if the game can be played in the similar way to eve online with a third person view and auto follow or orbit commands including weapons fire.

Yup, although in the distant past (or current?) eve has used point to point navigation and X floats.

I hope your right because I've been waiting a long time a single player version with similar controls

So who's right then

X4's controls are nothing like EVE's, they're more like Elite Dangerous.

And when you're not in direct control of the ship (such as when an NPC is piloting it) you have no control over the firing of the weapons, the best you can do is tell the NPC who to attack but not how or when.

Now, EVE does have a first person piloting mode that either no one uses or they try it for all of 5 minutes for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles then never use it again..

There a lot's of different control options for X4 yet all are no click into the void control like EvE Online.

To be true as someone with a few Years of EvE Experience will interesting to have a EvE Online like Map overlay in X4 the Controls would not fit perfect.
EvE is all about positioning and the proper timing of modules while the current X4 goes more in the twitchy direction still hope dies last maybe we get more of a strategy challenge in the future.
