[Suggestion] Fixed Camera

I usually set my camera to see the back of my ship cause I'd like to see where I am heading.
But whenever I jump or change direction I have to each time re-set camera position to the back of the ship. (TBH this is like the only reason I use the left click mouse button in space.)

So I'd like suggest to have a camera-lock-like button. First, you will set your favorite camera position and then click the lock button (or radial) so whenever you undock/change direction/ jump the current camera position wont change. An you'll be able to unlock it with a single click from the radial menu.

I know that there are many people like me tend that do the same thing over and over again . I'd like to have your support in this (mostly autopilot lover highsec ppl outthere) as a fixed the camera shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Thanks all,

To expand on this, perhaps two camera settings:

1, as it is now, with the camera globally oriented. The ship rotates but the camera maintains its orientation with the space around it (IE the ship rotates in your field of view)

2, ship oriented. When you aren't moving the camera, it is oriented in relation to your ship, IE your ship appears still and the space around it rotates.

Maybe this is what you were talking about, but I'm not sure. I think this would be an excellent minor addition, and it sounds easy enough to implement. Not being a developer though, there are quite probably some hidden complications that I'm not seeing.

I'd just like the camera not to move everytime I try to grab a can in my ORCA, I like to have my camera set with a good view of the belts, and everytime I tractor in a can, or target a rat my view starts spinning like im on a carnival ride.

Id like to to just stay looking at what I set it to look at.
