If anyone gets bored. :P

Create and/or update a shortcut to the Homeworld exe - right-click your shortcut to bring up the options. Select Properties and in the box that comes up, scroll to the end of the target field, add a space and add "/pilotview" (without quotes) so that it shows something like this: ...\Sierra\Homeworld\homeworld.exe /pilotview Click OK to close that window. You've just enabled Pilot View! Within the Homeworld game, select a single ship and focus on it (the default focus key is F). Press Q to toggle pilot view and enjoy how a commander would see the 90s graphics! Please note - if you focus on another ship (when in pilot view), you'll jump to its pilot view. If you select a group of ships, you'll go back to the default view mode. Pressing Q will toggle between pilot and normal views. Now when you run Homeworld from the edited shortcut and focus on a single ship, hit Q to toggle pilot view on and off.
Thanks tinyE!

One day I will visit you in Madagascar!!

Query: does this work in the remastered version or is this a "classic only" feature (that I love)

I tried this but my program will not accept the commands.
is this a disk version only because I got homeworld classic with the remaster collection.

good news I got it working you just have to place the /pilot view line outside of the "..."
my only problem is that the game crash whenever its gets busy on screen.
