Dear CCP,

I'm really glad you gave us direct ship controls.

It's one of my favourite features.

But please, please, please can we have it so that using the keyboard controls does not automatically accelerate the ship.

I just want to be able to rotate my ship in-place.

Lots of love and thanks,

eX

Ship spinning is done in the station not in space.

Understand... the server sees your ship as a "sphere."
It has no back or front unless it has a trajectory first... and, if standing still, it will move in any direction equally fast regardless of the direction your client thinks the ship is facing.

How did you Veterans start?

I'd rather have a fixed 3rd-person camera view.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

What ShahFluffers said.

I'd like to see what the OP asked for too, but it would require a redesign of EVE's entire space ship code. It'd be awesome to update it, cause it sucks, but I'm not sure it's practical.

all they would need to do is have the model rotate not redo space ship code

but his still may be more effort than it is worth

Sounds like aligning the ship yet remaining at 0 m/s ;

I like it
