Change Default Camera Tracking Target When Jumping

When Odyssey launched, the default behavior for traveling through a jump is to swing the camera around back towards the gate you just jumped through. When autopiloting, the camera instead swings to the next gate in the queue.

Could we change the default camera tracking behavior to point at the next gate in the queue instead of the last gate even with autopilot disabled?

Hmmm... so when you have a route set up, it's automatically detected and the tracking camera behavior changes accordingly without the need to turn Autopilot on.

Absolutely! I support this +10.

For the rest of you lot, this isn't a thread about "Let's just remove it entirely". That's somewhere else.

I just feel like it would make more sense than the previous stargate since the most likely place to warp to next would be the next stargate in the route.

Could we be given an option to turn it on or off instead?
Forcing changes like that on everyone is bad.

This is the intended functionality, however we have a bug which makes it only do this if the AP is active.

No ETA on when this will be fixed.

I would also like this idea if: it can be turned off also, there's been a number of random occasions where it hasn't zoomed in to the gate after you've jumped, i rather not see the gate in my face or see the gate at all, i like being zoomed out each jump so i can see the whole grid, some other occasions it has zoomed in, so it seems it is just random at the moment, it's happened for both when i have or haven't had a desti set.
