I know Sea of Thieves is a "1-st person first"-game that favors 1st person over 3rd person... But the ships could feel a lot cooler with optional 3rd person while "piloting" the steering wheel and such.
To prevent imbalances for the PvP aspect, it could be coded that once your ship takes damage from AI/Players the camera resets to 1st person and is locked from entering 3rd person again til a specific amount of time passed without the ship taking damage.
