EVE Information Portal

After 10 pages of 'zomg please kill that docking animation with fire right now', there have been two dev posts -


1) No, we're not adding options to the options menu because that makes things 'complex'

2) A response to one of the 0.1% of posts not dealing the the docking animation.


Pretty disappointing tbh.

i visit 60 systems; 0 event sites
realy not fun 10k point for first container is not very fun, events should be fun right? 10k event points is like abaut 24-30h of doing this sites in max skill ship for newbro low sp toon this suck even more, and reword is a crap (confirmed info from test server), i think 1k for copper/bronze can, that you can get first crap reword at first day not after 4 days, 5k for secend/silver/, 20k for gold

docking undocking animation is eye torture, any hope for turn off option?

there is no any kind of info in pach notes or anywhere for new items/skins/reward,clothing,

option for getting 4, only mining challenges for character wich have no mining skill and only combat skils is therrible, there should be option like wich doing missions that you can decline chalange once for some time

Yeah I just logged in 3 characters, all of which have different sets of challenges.

One was interesting - Complete a Sansha Incursion. I mean seriously, setting challenges an individual character has no control over completing?

An individual challenge should be something an individual complete, it shouldn't require 50 or 60 others. Personally I don't do incursions, mainly because the incursion groups are fairly elitist and don't like outsiders - So there is one challenge it is next to impossible for this individual to complete.

Kill 5 Drifters - Another one that due to the randomness of these "challenges" will be difficult for many to complete.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here.

When someone informs us that something is "broken", it's my job as a QA Analyst to ascertain whether the feature in question is working to the specification set by our designers. In this case, as there was very little information to work with I went and tested each of the 3 fighter abilities that could be relevant to the post, and determined that they are all working exactly as designed (Per the original design and the updated stats detailed in the forum posts and patch notes).

Whether you like/agree with that design or not has no bearing on whether its "broken", but as you don't appear to be the person who made the original post I'm not going to make assumptions on that point. Either way, the fighter abilities are working as intended.

I'm sorry if you think my post is poorly worded and ill thought out, but hopefully this will go some way to explaining why I made the post I did. Thanks as always for your input.

Why can't gate jumps have animations similar to jump bridges and jump drives? You know, where the camera is left alone and you get to see a ray of light shoot off into space in the direction of the destination. The swirly animation around the ship isn't bad either.

It's irritating to have the game usurp camera control every single time you dock, undock, or change ships while docked. Even if you can take control back (which you can really only do in the case of undocking) it still gets old very quickly to be subjected to it.

I like the idea of the wallet pop out however when you multibuy a large list of items such as a complete doctrine fitting for a ship it takes a while to stop popping up with all the transactions of the purchase.

Can you set it to just take the cumulative total of the value of items purchased in one popup instead.

Also give us the option to turn of the docking camera. It can be nauseating due to the motion of the camera.

I got podded last night and my camera was literally bouncing behind the pod as it entered station.

Hwat?! :)
I logged in after DT and this annoying camera animations is still there :)

Think about this: there are good improvements and bad ones. For example: speed vectors are good - very few people found them questionable; but dock/undock camera movements are bad improvements - 99,9% of people found them disturbing.

So, will your product be selling good if most customers are dissatisfied with its quality?
The answer is obvious.

And more, It is shame that we having such kind of conversation with DEVs (stubborn attitude) - I really expected more professionalism from people who maintain such good and original project as EVE.

^^^ This

Please make the docking/undocking animations optional.

I literally get sick watching them so i cant look at my monitor while it happens.

(btw: it happened while watching 'the lord of the rings' also where the camera pans across the landscape - and that wasn't funny in the cinema)
