Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

During warp I used to like to click in the overview on the Planets and Sun to watch them as I fly by.
I can still do this by holding the C-key down and then click it, but when I try doing this from the dial-menu or drop-down menu it is suddenly not available.
Could you enable this for me please? Thank you in advance.

This is an really annoying feature. Took me a while to figure out this noise is actually related to the tactical camera mode itself.

I noticed that the "feature" of the old camera; namely the ability to press and hold right-click and pan the camera around did not make it into the new orbit camera. I always thought this was a nice way to look at ship models in space. Now while looking at our own ship we will have to maneuver the tactical camera around to achieve the same.

As long as you need both hands (shortcut plus mouse) to achieve vital things like tracking a fleeing target ... this new camera is a major step backward on usability.

To be crystal clear on that, so far, EvE's "casual" functions can be handled with only your mouse hand (camera, probing, map). If this changes to require both hands for vital stuff you need access to in a split second or often to be efficient, it is not an improvement but a serious drawback.

The tactical camera is fun to play with in anoms. It would be nice to have a really fast/easy way to reset your view back to being centered on your own ship. What do you think about a double click on your capacitor to reset your view?

I tried new orbit camera and it is stupid, no pan, zoom controls swapped and I cant reswap them, they are locked, why even do such thing? CCP dont like us?

Really need automatic camera tracking back - as mentioned before it makes the game feel immersive: you are looking at the object you are interacting with on the overview. Now the game feels disjointed - we view only our ship at a random angle, with key objects out of sight.

The amount of mouse work required to now drag into view what you are heading towards or interacting with is a step backwards, however I do like all the other changes you've made.

The new camera is not as practical for pvp when compared to the old one for the following reasons.

-Narrow field of view limits my situation awareness.
-Inertia on zoom in and out, i have a ratchet-less scroll wheel, i would like my screen to stop zooming when i stop my wheel.
-Less damping on spinning the camera gives less accurate control over where the camera stops spinning, which since camera orientation is the primary input method is a horrible decision.

Lets be fair and look at the benefits.

-When flying near an asteroid i can see the crappy texture a little more easily.



In conclusion, i manually pilot and sometimes have to maneuver around dozens of targets while going 8.5km/s. Leaving arguments about OGB and snakes aside, this new camera will make it much harder to control my ship and even harder to make decisions ahead of time when planning my trajectories around hostile targets.

You are absolutely going to have to make the default 'new camera' the same as the old one. If people want to choose cinematic options for making videos or shooting red crosses, im glad they have the option. I would like, as a pvper to have the option to retain the functionality of the camera we already have.

Thanks, but no thanks. I dont think ill feel like undocking if im going to less effective in combat just because of a new camera.

The new camera has only one good feature - a tactical view.
It's very cool for capturing cool screenshots.
But for PVE / PVP fights the new camera completely useless.
As people mentioned earlier we lose sens of situation awareness, my ship always runs behind the screen edges or hides behind the local / overview / scanners windows.
And there are no automatic tracking. When I have many targets in grid it is just painful track every target manually.
And visually ships and other objects appear more blurry.
Maybe, the new camera add cinematic feelings but for me it's a very odd feelings.
I tried the new cam few times before it received opt-in status and i can tell only that this new camera is the worst innovation of all time that I play EVE online.
I will prefer to use old camera as long as i can without this terrible-cool FOV and orbital effects.

Disabling this on all my accounts because:

• Zooming and rotating the camera lags behind my mouse.
• The zoom and movement is not consistent. There is an acceleration when if you move the mouse or scroll quickly that is impossible to predict.
• Tracking is absent or completely broken. I cannot track ships in warp, and cannot leave tracking on and click through the overview to track ships.

In order for me to turn this on and leave it on, we need:

• An option to completely disable the mouse-acceleration exponential speed. I must be able to move my mouse one inch at any speed and have the camera move the same distance every time. I must also be able to scroll two "wheel clicks" and have the zoom change a consistent amount every time.
• Crisp and fast camera movement that has the same performance as the old camera.
• Tracking that lets me follow ships in warp
• Tracking that quickly bounces the camera between targets I click on the overview
