EVE General Discussion

Sneaky automatic opt-in on patch.

The new camera is not as practical for pvp when compared to the old one for the following reasons.

-Narrow field of view limits my situation awareness.
-Inertia on zoom in and out, i have a ratchet-less scroll wheel, i would like my screen to stop zooming when i stop my wheel.
-Less damping on spinning the camera gives less accurate control over where the camera stops spinning, which since camera orientation is the primary input method is a horrible decision.

Lets be fair and look at the benefits.

-When flying near an asteroid i can see the crappy texture a little more easily.



In conclusion, i manually pilot and sometimes have to maneuver around dozens of targets while going 8.5km/s. Leaving arguments about OGB and snakes aside, this new camera will make it much harder to control my ship and even harder to make decisions ahead of time when planning my trajectories around hostile targets.

You are absolutely going to have to make the default 'new camera' the same as the old one. If people want to choose cinematic options for making videos or shooting red crosses, im glad they have the option. I would like, as a pvper to have the option to retain the functionality of the camera we already have.

Thanks, but no thanks. I dont think ill feel like undocking if im going to less effective in combat just because of a new camera.

I was telling them that!!!!
I wanted orbit camera without changes same as the old one, only tactical camera addition for people who want to tweak it, and first person camera for those who really want to feel like they sit in Tie-fighter,
They dont listen.
