Tried not spamming lock on a target?

Seriously, the game only accepts one input per second from the client, so spamming clicks does absolutely nothing. Space them out a bit.

if you pvp you'll know that every pilot spams lock on targets a lot of the time in a lot of situations

Rapid clicks, yes. Spamming to the point you lose control, no.

This is a pebcak issue, not a game issue. Learn to click rapidly without triggering the double-click that moves your ship. You can even go into your system settings and change the interval between clicks for it to count as a double click.

I used to PvP quite a lot. Learned how to not do what you're complaining about. It's not CCP's responsibility to overcome your lack of ability to PvP. It's what separates the great pilots from the mediocre pilots. Figure out your system's double click interval, and adjust your spamming to just slightly slower than that interval. It's easy enough I taught my youngest daughter how to do that when she was three.

You just need to adjust your ship type. I'll recommend blaster boats with webs and scrams as these will leverage your poor playing skills to best effect. One such as yourself (who feels the entire game should change to accommodate your poor playing ability) should probably look at officer/DED space fit vindicators and vigilants. I believe there are several alliance tourney trophy ships that are also worthy of being piloted by one such as yourself.

Being serious - if you can't master locking, then play to your approach issue and fly ships that make it OK. (turn that frown up-side-down)

Sitting on a lowsec gate in a malediction spamming lock, have mwd so I can decloak stuff.
A sigil jumps through, I start spamming really hard because awww yeah indy kill!

He decloaks and I lock him but I'm spamming too hard, my fingers hurt!
OOOPS! I accidentally approached him.

Get scrammed, I'm 5 km away from him, cyno goes up, I can't burn off.

Real PVPers jump in and tackle me, I can't get away, I'm still aggressed, can't eject, I'm in my slave pod because elite pvp.

I see a sin slowboating to me, oh no it is santo.

I die and spam to warp my pod out, get smartbombed.

CCP nerf smartbombs I was spamming lock and warp and none of it helped.

Reasoning is little ify but to add it as an option hurts none and benefits some.
It's ok
You can still get kills while people dont randomly doubleclick wherever and get in danger because of it.
So not just double click to approach but generally doubleclicking as an optional and control-wise replaceable feauture could do some good.

Come get some cancer @ my blog !

Windows, MAC and Linux all have this built in feature that will allow you to solve this problem. I do not have a MAC or Linux box in front of me at the moment but in Windows all you need is the mouse properties dialog and look for the double click speed adjustment, this will solve YOUR problem without making the game more complex because you are lazy.

Like the others I have been into PvP on and off since I started playing many years ago and I can count on one hand the number of times that an accidental double click has gotten me killed. However since I discovered the double click speed adjustment and how it affects EvE I have not been killed even once due to an accidental double click.

No, do not go down the bitter vet and you just do not want things to change path because you would be wrong.
Change is OK, changes to the game because you refuse or you are to lazy to use the tools built into your operating system that can solve this problem are not OK.

I dunno, it seems way easier to have CCP fix this for everyone. The work involved in changing your windows settings seems small on the singular scale, but think of the time and effort of 100s of thousands of players all repeating this over and over. If you step back and look at the big picture (total effort involved) this becomes a no brainer.
