Defualt Camera angles

I am using the Demo of TGE 1.3 and I have spaceship that i want to fly around in space. My question is Do I create space as a box with the space texture all around? If that is yes then is there a simple way to lock the camera into one angle. The angle being directly above the players avatar?

Yeah I was actually playing with that idea in the demo for a little bit. I dont really need change the sky box becuase technically the player should never really see it. I will need to mess with the floor textures and get the that to look like a space area. Then from there I can turn the friction down a bit and have it feel like less gravity is being applied to your avatar.

I don't know about the camera angle question, but have you considered useing the sky box to create the "space" for your game?
