Tried the new camera again just to make sure I wasn't being an eWeen. 20 minutes of very light ratting plus salvaging = 30-40 minutes of nausea recovery time. Also the tracking and involuntary zooming when disengaged is still incredibly frustrating.

Just the facts.

This round I had all boxes checked. I'll have to run it again with everything unchecked for comparison.

Yes please.
Would be very kind if you could come back and post your impressions with all options unchecked.
(They are in the first left column of "Display & Graphics" tab)

The problem is the manner with which this is being deployed. I'm fine with change and changing aspects of the game as it evolves over time (balance, new content, heck, I'm even fine with Skill Injectors though I won't waste a single isk on them myself) and I'm 100% behind updating old code.

I'm not fine with paying to test something that should have a) been fully tested on SiSi, b) been a fully finished product, and c) addressed all community concerns, prior to being deployed on TQ. There's a reason why incentives on TQ are offered for customers to play-test features on SiSi and work with the dev teams in order to produce a finished product. It's a fair guess that there will still be updates for the camera rolling out past March 9th.

Instead we're forced to deal with something that didn't need this level of update, this quickly, which still has bugs and either alters or implements features in ways that either no one wants or are soon to be missing, thus removing basic functionality of a system which every single pilot who undocks uses. Just so one new aspect of content can be introduced.

tl;dr I'm perplexed as to why a legacy camera option cannot remain after March 9th for those who don't want to pay to keep testing something that didn't need to be altered this drastically to begin with; nor am I willing to pay to test something that should already have been a fully working product prior to release on TQ.

Ok well, that's really wierd.

Because i have none of the nausea or stomach emotions you are dealing with.
With or without checked options.

With all options unchecked i can't see much differences between new and old camera.

That's another thing when dealing with the Tracking Camera though.
I've updated my feedback about it.

But that might just be something they are working on, we still got 1 month before they release it completly.

Motion sickness triggers can be different from one person to another. I can read in a car, but only if my head is below the window line so landscape zipping by isn't visible. Boats and ships are no problem, but the smaller turbo-prop planes get me while jumbo jets are a breeze on the stomach.

This new camera is a floaty, dip and dive, swaying turbo-prop plane to my stomach. And as far as I can figure, most of that reaction is directly tied to only a few things. the inertia as this camera catches up with that I'm telling it to do, and the drift from my ship as center point. Speeding up settings does not completely remove either of these nausea inducing issues.

I know that description words like floaty, spongy, wandering, meandering, and soft are not good words to help fix coding.

But then again, same could be said for 'needs more pfssssh' to describe a wanted or needed change in a specific UI segment!

I've grown use to the short timing of camera 'drift' after I change direction of my view., as it is at the end. Adding that same drift then it catches up at the beginning of camera angle changes is just too much for my eyes and inner ears. There ya go CCP, less snarky and irate constructive suggestions to fix this.

I still want the old camera to remain, I won't budge on that suggestion! Pffft.

Not a fan of how the new camera changes the options when you right click a destination in the current route. Currently "Jump through stargate" is the first option and with the new camera it is now the 3rd option which is annoying.

Nope, that does nothing about the inertia effect. Increasing the camera speed helps, but even at max it's very noticeable at reasonably high framerates.

We're all different, so that kinda makes sense.

I like a lot of the new additions but I really dislike the drift feature. Can we get an option to turn it off? I just would like to keep the actual view as the old camera. It also helps with zoom.
