Could it be possible to have a button to invert the scroll effect for the zoom?

From what I know, the zoom in/out function are used in space, in station, map, scanning window, ship and modules preview.

The effect wanted would be as follow:
Scroll up to zoom in
Scroll down to zoom out

Instead of the actual:
Scroll up to zoom out
Scroll down to zoom in.

Any comments or reaction would be appreciated.

I agree, the default zoom directions for the scroll wheel are backwards from most other applications I run with the same function. At least having a toggle that allows players to change the direction if they want to would be nice.

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

Yes I have just joined and I am finding this frustrating. I also play other games where the zoom is the complete opposite.

For those who say "get used to it" I think it's a bit harsh and should go and try another game where it is inverted and see how annoying it is for yourself. Just because you like it that way does not mean everyone else should too. This is why most other games have the option for both.

Lots of other games have the option to choose. An inverting option would not be hard to program in.

Another one would be horizontal camera look invert as well but that's another story.

I am going to try my best to just deal with it but it's getting annoying when I constantly headbutt my own ship trying to scroll out!

The objects move in the direction of the scroll wheel. While it is jarring coming from other games where it's the other way, and a toggle would be nice (not actually sure what "invert camera controls" actually does), CCP isn't great on toggles.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I seem to be incapable of learning the EvE way. Been playing for years and I still end up zooming the wrong way initially every game session.
