I really find this annoying with the new camera. I always used the custom tracking position and a lot of the time revert back to the old camera just for this reason. I also could turn the tracking camera on and off by simply hitting the C key and the highlighted object in the overview would be tracked with the custom position.

Please bring back the custom tracking position !!!!!

Can I have a game design explanation CCP ?

Recently found out what I earlier reported as a Bug, is actually a New Tactical Overlay.

It has no Spheres for ranges so its hard to tell if something is in range or not if directly above/below you.
The arc point thingy that is uses is nowhere near the ship so you have to look away from the target to tell if it's in range or not.

It's even worse at the other end of the range level https://i.gyazo.com/6d5f44159c723c1466e1573215dc4935.jpg , I can't tell if I'm directly above something anymore or not, no vertical line to the plane to tell, direct line to asteroid, but no arc either.

Also look at object is not a toggle any more (it used to toggle between your ship and the object)


I'm sure that others had misread the Jump Clone cost thing as the cost to install a Jump Clone, and not a Cost every-time that you jump clone between Clones too, The first is fine, the Later IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially for Jumping between Clones on a Cyno Alt that has no income of it's own, you have to keep feeding it ISK from your main. And this will hurt newer player even more, especially in the NPSI community, I know that there are a few people leave clones in various places in order to join fleets every weekend and jump back to their normal area of operation soon there after, it make day trips like this VERY EXPENSIVE for a casual player.

Also the main issue I have is that they removed all the drones and changed the requirements to use existing fighters in the same patch to include a new skill which was only put into TQ in the same patch.
The bit that really bites is the whole able to use before the patch, able to use after the patch that CCP normally does not being followed this time around(ie the change in requirements preventing the use of them).

Myself and my corp are enjoying this update. Still missing my damn custom tracking for the camera =)
*coughcough*

this patch killed not only cars, but also dreads), many had already left with wh, many said they leave the game, Titans pilots shocked to think where are they hiding the Titans now, industrialists are waiting for the full notch of POS, to dump the game time! and this probably sought ccp, well made, and what's next? and will continue to empty space and empty) and donaters will fight among themselves and drifters, if you will surely find each other in the big world of EVE)

I don't like any of the four new force auxiliary ship models. None of them looks like a space ship in my eyes. They all look like some station of some sort to me. I had to allign the amarr one to actually realize where front and rear of that ship is.

Hey CCP

One of the biggest reasons why I play this game is because I get to choose how to play it. You have always given the power to the player, letting them move along as the see fit within the rules of the game. Now this just doesn't seem the case. To me it looks like you are forcing players to do what YOU want them to do, instead of allowing them to choose for themselves. I can understand that you want to make improvements to the game, but those "improvements" have become a hindrance making the game almost unplayable. I love the idea of Citadels and if they work as planned, will be an awesome asset and content generator for years to come. But don't force players to chose over a Citadel or Station by increasing broker and jump clone activation fees. Placing a 1M INSTALLING fee on jump clones is fine, I can live with that; but not EVERY time I need to jump. I was going to set up a network of jump clones on multiple ALTs, but now it's just not feasible as the cost is too high especially if you are making a jump everyday. And increasing the brokers fees that much, alone with jump clone costs, this seems like a **** YOU to the players that have invested time and money to set up an industry network. Much like limiting high SP players from using Skill Injectors. Can you see the pattern here???

Now to the camera: Again I love the idea the you are trying to improve game play with the new camera, but if it doesn't have the same simplicity of the old camera (auto tracking without holding down a key) then it's a step backwards not forwards as you want to limit keystrokes to what is absolutely needed to achieve a given goal. I don't want to hold an extra key down while warping around a system to scan for ships. Especially if I need to activate Push-To-Talk, or heaven forbid, actually type something, while scouting. I love the new Tactical Overlay and the Q keystroke to align/approach. But the Approach menu options being at the top just doesn't make sense when there are other ways to do the same thing. Combine Align To to look something like Align/Approach as they are generally the same thing.

The Overview seems to be lagging with update taking a while to change, especially when ships warp off grid. I haven't delved too deeply into what else may be wrong buy I hear you changed some of the terminology, not a good move.

The Grid Size is still far too big, at some instances being well over 15K in km. I just don't see the point in this. At times my ship gets jammed from NPC rats from 9000 km away, making it a potential loss for if and when I'm in a fight. Please fix.

Other that that, Eve is still a great game, but the current direction in not fixing problems is making me doubt the statement. I hope that changes soon.

I had a special char, perfectly trained to pilot a carrier - all support skills at V and ofc all major skills like Gallente Carrier and Fighters and Capital Ships etc. all to V.
Now I log in to try new fighter system.
"You need ... skill" WHAT?

Thanks a lot CCP, really appreciated. Guess now I have to waste another month+ perfecting that new skill and have my "Fighters V" skill wasted cuz I have a carrier, not a supercap that I don't need in my operations.
And thanks for rendering those 3.072.000 skill points in Fighters V wasted on this char, cuz (oh dear who wouldda thought!!!) CARRIERS can't use normal Fighters. Oh just know what, give a medal to the guy that made this decision!!!
Good job.

If you are a combat carrier (not FAX), you still need Fighters V, it gives 5% damage per level to all fighters. It is also a prerequisite for using T2 fighters (Templar II, etc) even though the Required For tab is broken and doesn't show that.

Sooo... I need to cough up 100mill (and trainingtime) to be able to launch my fighters now? and another 100mill if i want to use any logistic fighters?

The last one, ok, i can understand, new toys cost money, but the first part?

Not like the 100mill will cripple me financially, but it's the idea behind it which is silly imho.
