Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

In Orbit Camera (Alt+2), would it be possible to bring back the "Hold right click" to rotate the camera?
Alongside the extra zoom-in while holding down both left and right click.

I can't stress enough how much that extra zoom helps with footage.

Tracking camera should have a UI button, not just a hotkey. Also, mine doesn't offset itself - the object I'm tracking is always obscured behind my ship rather than never :'(

With the new orbit camera I cant see the turn tracking camera on/off check box. Is it still there ?

Current camera has the check box immediately below tactical overlay on/off button in UI.

The tracking camera is very important. When u are sitting cloaked at someones POS.. the tracking camera allows u see where they warp to easily. Also when some jumps a wormhole/gate. the tracking camera allows u to see where they warped to..

Tracking camera is not just used for Dscan. and the lookat camera is not a substitute as it has a max range of 100km and it takes to long to switch from one lookat target to another. (2 clicks where as the tracking camera only reques 1 click)

TLDR - New Cameras need tracking camera on/off UI button.

I have Eve.exe crashing when undocking with the new camera.
"Runtime error
abnormal program termination"

Not every undock but still 2 times per 1 hour. Then I turn the new camera off and no more crashing..
Please look at it.

P.S.

Hello,

I like the new orbital camera. The only thing that is really preventing me from using it is that I can't get the "center camera on selected target" to work. I tried the keybind, I tried Shift-Alt-click, and neither work.

Now for my not-so-nice feedback. Being a programmer myself, I sympathize that sometimes old things break as you're trying to deprecate large swathes of old legacy code. I appreciate the "beta" program for new features, but please try to test (don't break) the old/current ones while beta-ing the new one.

Two things broke in the current/old camera with this patch:

1) The camera does not lock at 90 degrees up/down anymore. This is a huge deal since I lost a ship a couple of days ago because when the FC said "align down" I continued aligning to the same spot as before. It wasn't an expensive loss or anything, just annoying/frustrating. Here is video proof :).

2) It seems the "center camera on selected target" also broke in the original camera -- you have to jump to another system to get it to start working. Often we need to undock and fight, so having to jump out-then-in is not an option.


Note: I've tried restarting, etc. These problem has been happening for a couple of days now.

When in tactical mode, the zoom is centered on the mouse relative to the middle of the screen, regardless of the camera center offset. It becomes unusable when playing with an asymetrical setup.
I play on two screens with the camera centered 50% left, so my ship is in the middle of the left screen. However, if I need to zoom straight in/out in tactical mode, I have to put my mouse between my two screens. Otherwise, the camera flies away to the right.

EDIT : The FPS UI should also be centered on the camera center.

It sounds like you're hitting gimbal lock.

Have you considered providing a option to disable the ship icons/brackets that obscure a targeted ship?

Hide brackets doesn't work because as soon as u target something (or select it) the icon appears.

A new cinematic camera and the new armor/shield effects don't do much good if the ships are hidden by a giant red icon...

First person: May be good for making videos, but I'd never use it for actual play.

Orbit: Hate it. I hate how when my ship "goes fast" my ship lags behind the camera center. I also hate the "smoothing" or "sliding" or whatever it's called when you zoom and instead of the camera just stopping when you stop scrolling, it continues moving with artificial momentum. I hated that on the map, and I hate it here. Please just keep the current orbit camera as it is and have these new "features" opt-in.

If you want to give us the ability to make sexy videos, include dedicated tools for making sexy videos. Don't interfere with our ability to play the game in the name of free marketing.

Tactical: Kinda tricky to get used to. The biggest complaint I have is I have no idea where the focus point is. Can you please provide some kind of obvious but not obnoxious graphical element to the focal point/fulcrum/anchor for the camera? It's also a little bit on the sensitive side. Could we get a sensitivity slider? Other than that, it's pretty cool and is a great addition! :)

1st person and tactical are kinda redundant, and feel more like gimmicks to me, but having them isn't a problem, I'll just never use em. Tactical overlay already does what I would need, and 1st person is for combat sims, not EVE. Orbit cam 'looks' prettier on the surface, but it's lost a lot of features. 1. having a custom and centered tracking position mean I can switch between centered for dscan, and custom for 'cinematics'. 2. right click and drag no longer does anything, and where holding left and right and dragging back and forth allowed for finer zoom functionality, that also does nothing. We need those back.

Honestly, if it had been me doing this, the only thing I would have added would be a randomised cinematic cam that switches to a random position and style focusing on any given aspect of the player's immediate environment, with the player as the central element. Nothing else was needed here, and this feels like wasted development time. Even my idea of a cinematic cam feels like wasted development time, but at least it would introduce a new entertainment element to the game. None of these cams really do that, they just rehash things that we already have, or remove them.
