EVE Information Portal

Toggle is now "Shift+C" to cycle it on.

Camera stuff aside, I'd want to know that too.

I would like to politely point out to the developers, that an increased amount of options is not detrimental for your game.
It is beneficial.
An increased amount of options allows you to cater to more people playing. More people playing means more income, more content and more diversity. You please the old AND the new.
A lot of options might "overwhelm" a new player, but really, why is that a bad thing? Eve overwhelms a new player on a lot of levels, but that is often a good thing. It's the excitement and wonder, sitting in a giant toy store, amazed by all the different things. Then you slowly make your way through it and manage to find what you like. That is quintessential to your game. The journey. There is no "journey" in narrowed down pathways and force-fed decisions.

To me, that is Eve. it is less of a sandbox, and more of a giant toy-store.
Or rather, it was.
Because Eve has taken a turn where certain shelves are empty now, and the variety decreased. Rooms are closed down to make the toy store smaller, and I wonder why and how, if there was no discernible downside to having more of it. Some toys have been replaced by low-quality products. They might look shinier, but their manufacturing quality is shoddy and they don't feel as good when played with. Other products have been removed because some clumsy kid managed to hurt itself when mis-using the toy. Thus the toy gets removed and the joy been taken away from everyone else who could play with it properly? That is not only senseless but also a very poor marketing strategy.

That is how it feels when you kill old options and/or bring in the mangled new ones. I talk about OPTIONS and USABILITY and not gameplay related content, don't confuse that. Some things you brute-forced on us have simply not been okay. Some of us went away because of it. Some of us just stopped actually playing the game and just sit in there chatting because we didn't want to lose contact to the people. I don't wonder. I also don't want to know how far the concurrent player counter would drop if you'd allow evegate to access your chats as long as you are subscribed.
What I DO want to know is how it would really look like nowadays when you hadn't rushed so many things and if you hadn't made so many questionable decisions of half-hearted products.

Sure, having more options could mean you have to look out for more potential bugs, and have a greater amount of code that might get in the way of things but it's not always as bad like that. Because I am absolutely certain you could always reproduce any old features to the dot. I would like to believe that. Maybe because I'm optimistic! :D I just don't get why you are not reproducing the things first, and then go from there to improve based on feedback.
A good example for that is the new map. The single best thing about the new map is, that I can switch it off. The few added functionalities (which has been coming in MONTHS after initial beta inception) do NOT justify me using a product that has greatly decreased performance and visibility.
I dread the day when you disable the old map and old camera, while not having the new features up to par. Much like the huge mistake you did with opportunities.

While I enjoy the idea of getting rid of legacy code, the only reason I do is because I hope that the NEW code is being well documented and written better so that changes can be made easier.

But I have no guarantee if it actually IS an upgrade on the programmer's end :c
I would really like to know about it. Not the ins-and-outs but just simple facts for me to digest. Because I can only talk about what I see ingame. And I see things that are everything but rosy.

I would like to enjoy more content of eve online. But I can't, since the User Interface and it's functionality keep pushing me away from that content. The recent direction of UI development pushes me away from enjoying to play the game.

You can also right click on the orbit camera button. Not really any more obvious but useful if you've done a lot of keyboard remapping.

Seems like the worst place for signal:noise ratio, but whatever.

I /bugged the Tab key change the first time I encountered it. It's that ingrained. Being able to remap keys that you've never had to map before is a lot of trial and error. This kind of thing at least deserved a patch note, and most of us never saw one.

The tweet indicates functionality was removed, and removed implies it cannot be remapped.

I'm baffled to explain the decision to "remove the functionality" of a "confusing keybind" rather than simply UNSET THE KEYBIND by default. You know... addressing the complaint without causing a hundred more complaints.

I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out...

Sometimes you don't have to refactor :legacycode:. You can actually stick a bandaid on a problem and appease everyone. The bandaid is called "choice". It's a nice opt-in feature. When that actually happens... run with it!

Looked at the So called all singing and dancing NEW camera set up for all of 30 seconds, realised it was not fit for purpose and reverted back the old set up, which at the time worked.

Since then Apart from the ever extending 'Black Screen' issue, and yes it's still there CCP and getting worse for a lot of players, Another issue started to creep in, That when you undock you were left staring at the image 'From the inside of your ship' only resolved by scrolling out each and every time you undock.

Tried all sorts of visual positions and ranges on docking to see if that effects the undock situation and nothing seems to make the slightest difference, Your left staring backwards though the thruster animation at the station and this seems to be the default situation.

If this is an attempt by CCP to force players to use the new set up it's in pretty poor taste to be honest, Force never achieved anything except lost accounts.

I had worst problem until I found it's the middle button on the right or second one from top of 4 that fixes the cam on ship.
I also found a way to do it with look at.
But I don't really know what I am doing yet, as I don't know the command yet.
Maybe there is a way to fix this in the key binding menu(s).

Whats with the not being able to pan the camera while in warp?

Is this intentional, how do I turn it off - broken, please fix it - or just an unknown thing that occurs way too often?

As previously requested multiple times in this thread.

Give us a toggle to turn off the ambient noise on the tactical camera.

Allow us to turn it off, don't just turn it down in the software.

Today after update i again tried a new camera. My eyes allow me only 10 minutes of testing.
1. As in the previous test, zoom is totally unresponsive. and and also often zoom level continues to reset without cause.
2. Because of your stupid decision to move pivot point somewhere in space my ship continues to hide behind the channels of scanners windows. No frequently as before, but it's still very annoying.
3. Still stars have motion blur when the camera rotates or shakes. My eyes can not withstand such tortures. I can set camera speed to 4x and this removes blur but camera speed is too fast for a comfortable flight.
4. Still no custom tracking position.

So i again turn off this new crappy camera

OLD CAMERA MUCH BETTER FOR FLYING AND COMBAT

I'll just quote my old message when CCP tried to improve old camera movement and now they are jumping on the same rake.
