Description
It seems that every single time I try to reorient the camera, in any camera mode, I run straight into gimbal lock and have to spend ages struggling to unlock the gimbals just to push the camera a few degrees around or view specific parts of my ship.
Please use quaternions, or some other method that allows arbitrary rotation of the camera without gimbal lock! The ship itself can rotate indefinitely in any orientation, why not the camera view too?

Camera controls have had a significant revision since this report, and do indeed use quaternions.
