Noticed new camera function on the new patch: distance saved when docking. Go team.
Will it save camera angle in a later patch?

Can reset camera also have the same fuctionality it zooms the camera back close to your ship when you just want to refocus the camera back on your ship.

Nice camera angle lock. works well.
The new focus box seems to be broke however it only places the selected targer in there right after reseting the box.

Camera really needs its own tab in the esc menuBig smile

I'm pretty sure that's just the Advanced Camera selection. It's been available in EVE for as long as I can remember. Used to enable it through the Escape menu iirc

edit: I see from the Dev responses that this is new. Still, it looks a lot like the old adv. camera options.

edit2: Just checked the Adv. Cam. Looks to be far inferior to this too. Been awhile since I used it.


The tracking camera is not the same as the "advanced camera" but it uses the same underlying trinity camera, the main goal of the tracking camera is to keep both the target and the player ship in the frame to improve "situational awareness". It automatically positions the camera on orbit and fine tunes the view using the "right click" panning.


Yes, I could see that once I compared the advanced camera with the camera I saw in the video. It's looking very good. Smile

Good job on the include the players ship as being a point of interest.Cool
In that mode or any mode having a bracket for your ship should be good to have so you can set up far out zoom shots.
Some way to tell which camera mode you are in and if you have unlocked yourself from an angle you set would be nice.

The tracking camera is perfect now, except for one minor issue.

Basically if you have a celestial object and the camera is tracking it, initiating warp will cancel the camera tracking. So if you want to see the cool effect as the camera swings around when you warp, you have to select the celestial object again... making it tedious.

I don't see why initiating warp would cancel camera tracking, so is it a bug?

Would be really nice if you would NOT make this extremely annoying and unuseful camera change default. Don't know how many people who are praising this change actually PvP, as keeping track of your range on everyone on grid and the relation of everyone on grid to each other is nearly imposable with this change.

press C key, and its turned off...

this does nothing to the existing functionality of the overview... so you should be able to keep track of range just as well as you did before the changes.
