WTF are you on about dude?

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

The automatic camera turning towards a target allows fast paced low angle d-scanning of all targets in scan range.

There's a bug report in on the breaking of the target box memory.
Scans are independent of camera angle with this feature enabled correct or is scan still linked to camera angle?

If i dont know something about EVE. I check https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide

See you around the universe.

The checkbox temporarily toggles the tracking point to the center of your ship, thus allowing the directional scanner to function correctly. The scanner works the same as before, but the camera automatically points directly at the target.

Wording of the check box needs to reflect this please. It will confuse people if you do not. And name the tracking mode in the selected target window would help this issue as well.
Un clicking it does not reset the current target at your target box location.

Good addition. Instant 5 degree towards known locations is a good move as it saves pointless frustration.

Now all that remains to be fixed is an auto-toggle on the scan as well as eliminating some of the instant information and instead make D-scan track down ship sig radii and only reveal detailed info if the target is close enough/narrowed down enough (to put it in very generic and simple terms).

That should make small ships that much more happy. Or ninja miners. Or anyone else that wants true stealth. Assuming local intel gets murdered once and for all.

activating tracking cam via hotkey does not toggle the checkbox.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Allow me to play devil's advocate and suggest this might make it considerably quicker for people hunting you on dscan to find you?

1. Scan 360 at full range
2. Select Target
3. Warp toward the bodies in that direction
