Hello Everyone,

I do not know if this has been brought up before but ;

Can we get rid of or at least have the option to turn off Screen Bobbing when idle in station and space??? I lloked around in settings but you can only turn off warp shake. I petitioned and I was told it was not possible...

Can we put a ticker somewhere to turn it off....

What are you calling "Screen Bobbing"? As a non-native english speaker, i don't understand what you could be meaning...

French half-noob.

Non, je ne suis pas gentil.

In station and space, your ship is not "locked" perfectly center at 0,0 axis. It bobs around verrry slightly. No idea why it would bother you, but if it's easy to turn off, I have no problem if CCP makes it an option.

The minute camera sway that is always present.

I.e, you're not moving your camera, but it's moving (very slightly) in random directions by itself.

E.g, sit idle in space or a station and put your finger on a star.
Does it stay where your finger is? No. That's "Screen Bobbing."

OP, I can see this as being built in to the 3D camera mechanics and the way it works in EVE. That's probably why the GMs said it wouldn't be changeable. Still though, +1, this is quite an annoying mechanic.

Sorry I was not very clear m8. I guess we can say the camera Sway when you look at your screen when in station and space.

Couple problems I am having:

First getting old and making me dizzy. My eye sight is going and its more apperant to me at the moment.
Second. video streaming. taking videos from ships looking at one spot the focus object wont sit still.
and lastly when you have multiple bookmarks and you are trying to see all by trying to hover it and the screen keeps moving around.
I think it is there to make the whole environment look more "cozy and realistic" b ut having the option under camera shake to turn this off too would be much appreciated.

Screen bobbing is one of the many reasons I do my D-scanning from the old system map.

Would definitely like to see an option to turn the sway off.

CCP approaches problems in one of two ways: nudge or cludge
