This still bugs me.. when looking at a ship as it explodes, the camera goes straight back to the player ship and you miss the fancy new explosions.

This is something we spoke to CCP Antiquarian about at EDU 2016, and he said something along the lines of..
"the explosions are attached to the wreck. So just view the wreck after the ship has died"

It is really frustrating to try and find the wreck each time a ship dies and the camera keeps moving. (I do not have wrecks on my pvp overview as some may think)


Is it possible to have the camera switch to the wreck after a ship has died, if that ship is being viewed?

from what i understand they are still trying to find the "sweet spot" on how long to focus on the ship after death.


that said and to your idea

-1 the sploshens are cool.. the first 20 times are so and over all i want my camera back to me if a target is dead so i'm not fumbling around while others are still trying to kill me

I look at a ship that's near the one im shooting.

Alternatively there is tactical view. That doesn't return to your ship.
