the only time I've ever seen any perspective is with the first person cams.
Anew, you know the sheer age of BC's engine. this is NOT a modern game, and sure wouldn't use modern designing in it. from the way its so buggy, and the condition of the default models (and the patching, for pete's sake), this game was originally rushed out the door at warp nine...probably for Christmas or something.
Vonfrank is right, though, using the Borg Cubes as an example . there IS a zoom on the cams, guys. i have to back off using big ships, personally
