I am probably the 1 out of 60,000 EVE players on Earth who actually cares about this, but how do I make a "custom tracking position"?

I used to like how the tracking camera was for the most part automatic and offset. I am hoping to recreate that dynamic since the 1.1 release using the new UI. Any feedback, or more importantly, instructions regarding my dilemma would be highly appreciated.

My ship in space would stay centered on screen and the selected item would be slightly offset so that I could see both while in space. If I can't recreate that effect then I need to either get over it or quit playing eve. Hopefully I can recreate that somehow though.

Pirate Unicorns updated the tracking camera UI and made it easier to customize, it's explained here

basically, when you have custom camera position enabled the tracking camera bracked becomes visible for a few seconds, you can drag it around to change the tracking position.

Simple? It took a Pirate Unicorn to fix it. A PIRATE UNICORN.

They literally bred a mythical creature, gave it an eyepatch and a pegleg, let it roam the seven seas pillaging the trade routes, and then HIRED it to solve your problem. Simple? Not even close.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
