@Corinia ...not referring to depth of field. just when your ship is close to you and completely still, the drone camera moves, and their is no parallax effect with stationary objects in the background. Also, not sure about the full V3 thing you mention. I plead ignorance of that. Your mention of shaders makes me think it is probably not the issue.
If you use a ship with spiky projections, like a Nightmare, you can pinpoint and spot this more easily: "using one of the sharp points of the ship and an exact spot on the station background, observed the changes between the two".

Quit *****ing. Seriously. There are so many more issues that need to be addressed prior to this.

I logged in just to confirm, and this is definitely the case (however minor the issue might be). Now I can't unsee it...

For those who don't understand: Hold your finger up in front of your face. See what objects it points to in your room. Now move your head a little without moving your finger (or your room, duh). Watch as your finger points to different objects in the background as you move your head.

Now log in to EVE, switch to ship spinning mode in a station, and watch closely what is behind your ship. Let the camera float around on its own (without rotating it manually). You will notice that your ship is exactly in the same position against the background, even when the camera moves.

After a while of staring at it the hangar looks like someone took a screenshot and is wobbling it in front of your monitor, not as if the camera is floating around in a 3D space.

Finally.
Thank you Abdiel, thank you.

@Mara Rinn - I tested this with camera shake on and with it off. I didn't see any changes, however. The test was only done in station. Anyway, it's always been my impression that camera shake is only in play during certain parts of warp and when your ship is hit.

As far as the camera turning, I think I recall someone trying to sell me that argument many months ago...but even if that is what is happening, the lens of the camera is describing an arc, and that arc has distance, and that distance is enough motion to generate parallax (see Abdiel's excellent explanation above). So although you've perceived one of the possible finer points, I can't agree that it is the reason we see no 3D.

As I was testing this out for you, I realized that on my older computer, with an old 6800 ultra video card, and using a decidedly unpointy ship, Noctis, I found it pretty difficult to confirm the problem without a little concentration. That could easily be an issue when people read this and try to see it on their own systems. If it takes more than 5 seconds, well, some guys are going to move on to the next thing...

Anyway, thank you for the ideas.

The most ironic thing is that of all the things in the game that defy our current understanding of physics, you pick this. The entire game defies our current understanding of physics and more specifically, quantum physics.

Why don't we start an argument on why we can travel faster than the speed of light in this game, even though current laws dictate that is impossible? Same sort of argument as yours OP - it's irrelevant and nobody cares.

Planets are stationary bodies in EvE - they don't orbit anything, or move in the slightest. Couldn't be further from reality. There are millions of examples like these of how the game defies the laws of physics as we understand them today. That's the fun of a game set in the future - they can do what they want. Move on.

i remember when there was more movement. but still, there is nothing physically wrong with current situation. it's just your preference toward old model.

You can't expect a significant observable parallax when you're spinning the camera around an object.

Also, let's encourage CCP to put effort into things that improve the game, not stuff that only gets noticed by anal-retentive people who feel something doesn't look quite right.

I can definitely understand people saying there are more important issues in the game when I see my Nightmare bisect an Abaddon on leaving a station, lol. Not much we can do about that. I don't mind it, really. It is unique.
The way it worked in station before CQ was the background image of the station did not float. It only moved in response to you moving your camera around... and you could spin your ship all day but the station was rock solid. The only thing that floated then was your ship. What we saw then was real "3D".
Somehow, someone messed up the code, and when they did, everything started floating together:

you made me smile and laugh. stop that, I have to be serious or I might get blown up ;)

.and yeah, it's not that bad anyway.
