Dear CCP,

I have been experimenting with using the new "advanced camera", and it is not quite what I had hoped it would be.

I do like the tactical camera, where by the cam is detached from your ship and appears to anchor at a random spot within your fleet.... That's good. and has a lot of potential for video makers. The feature I dislike is the first person camera. As in most situations, the idea is to not directly approach a ship, in particular if you are shooting at each other. Obviously if the hostile ship you are fighting has guns, you want to orbit him etc and therefore the first person camera is actually rather disorientating.

I would not go so far as saying to remove the feature, but what I would like to see if the addition of a gun aim view or missile target computer style view. Where by the camera is looking down the barrel of the turret or out of the missile targeting computer, which would focus on the enemy ship you have locked. I know there already exists a tracking camera option but I would like this feature anchored and close up on the actual aggression module of the ship.

Its just an idea but one that i think would make for some spectacular video recording and game play possibilities.

Kind regards,

Lord Molly

These features are not meant for PVP, they are purely cosmetic and film making stuff. Besides, the first person view looks from the bridge's point of view forward, not the guns. There's no need for it to be able to look around.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I am well aware of there the first person cam is. What i'm suggesting is an additional gunners view cam

The fp cam is purely a cosmetic gimmick the tactical view is not and I have already found it quit useful

I have another camera request, not going to make a new thread just for it, so I'll add to this little thread and keep it floating longer...

I have a glitch that sometimes happens when I undock. The camera is situated directly in the center of my ship. I can freely look around, see parts of the rendering of the ship, etc. Until I try to zoom, where it resets back to outside like normal.

This is a completely benign glitch that is actually kinda cool. So, would it be possible to get this glitch sanctioned and eventually brought in with the new camera changes? I mean, technically you've already done it, I just want it to be an option rather than a limited-time glitch on undock.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

On the topic of cameras, with the current orbit camera, every time I undock the camera is looking back at the ship with the station behind it. Sometimes it's zoomed in so far that I can't find any open space to right click in and I have to spin the camera. Would be cool if the camera was looking from the back of the ship when undocking so you can see the vastness on space.
