CCP really disappoint me.
New camera is a peace of ****!
You turned off the old camera but does not fix the new camera. New camera is a step backward.

• Camera with Dynamic Center Offset On and Off has a different zoom sensitivity. When Dynamic Center Offset option is enabled zoom speed is ultra fast. For a few notches on the wheel my ship turn into small marker.
• X, Y axis for camera rotation has different sensitivity. Many times people have written about it. And nothing fixed.
• Unnecessary intermediate camera centering before starting rotation not removed.
• Where is my Custom tracking position for camera without Dynamic Center Offset??????????

You can't fix simple thing and add simple features in your super-duper new cam but can disable old cam, which works much better than new.

While the new camera mostly works well for me, I'd like to echo yet again that it would be nice to have the custom tracking position and get rid of that weirdness with the vertical and horizontal sensitivity. That difference has been bugging me for well over 3 months now and it's no less bothersome than day 1. It's almost like space is 3D or something and we might want to look up or down...

Well, it appears no-one was paying attention to this thread..any chance of paying attention to the new ones?

CCP Turtlepower,
since I can not play EVE with a new camera because my eyes get tired quickly, then please give finally answer to my questions.
For more than 3 month we have not received answers from your team.

• When will be added Custom Tracking Position for new "awesome" camera?
• When ultra fast zoom with Dynamic Center Offset will be fixed?
• When we will have identical sensitivity for X,Y camera axes?
• When will be removed unnecessary intermediate centering of camera before starting rotation?

A few words about the camera.
With Dynamic Center Offset always there will be many situations when a ship will disappear from the screen or hide behind windows, because the entire new camera concept is wrong. You rotate the camera around a point in space(or tracking object) that can be located at a considerable distance. This rotation causes nausea in some people. For this reason, working in CAD I always rotates the camera around the point on the model and not around the coordinate system that can be at a considerable distance.
To ensure normal camera operation with Dynamic Center Offset you need to limit the maximum deviation of the ship. it may be a 30° cone, but you need somehow to consider screen limits and windows positions to not allow the ship to escape from screen.
Next, Zoom speed with Dynamic Center Offset. It's ultra fast. For 4 notches on the mouse wheel my ship turn into marker. Very uncomfortable.
Sensitivity for Y camera axes is twice less than for X axis. Again very uncomfortable.
Most of these problems disappear when Dynamic Center Offset turned off. (Only confirms the wrong camera concept).
But we have another problem. All autotracking targets hidden by ship. How many developers need to make Custom Tracking Position?

Please answer, because we are worried whether you live or not.

It seems like the Track camera swivel was adjusted to not spin my head off my shoulders. It's a hair faster than I'd set it, but it allows me to keep my ship as a frame of reference.

It works like I need it to and I will start using track camera and the C function again. Slight bit of faith in the UI restored. Holding C to activate the look action is okay too.

Continuing problems: I don't need to use the square target selection marquee. It's inaccurate because of the shape and the lack of distance sorting.

It also breaks my camera controls for the mouse and that's the critical issue I have with it.

I have to avoid using the tertiary row of modules because of the Ctrl modifier for them. You know, how the bottom row of modules is Ctrl+F-key. Maybe it's my keyboard, maybe it's the client, but even when I'm sure I've fully released the Ctrl key after activating a bottom row module, any mouse input registers with it and instead of turning my camera or double clicking in space I get the target selection marquee.

I feel like Ctrl has too much on its plate right now, and the marquee should be moved to a different key. My suggestion is dropping the targeting marquee function altogether.

If you could sort the marquee by distance or even hostiles vs friendly, it would begin to make sense and not just get in the way. In the meantime it's going to cause me to lose a ship and you're going to get a support ticket when it happens.

I got better idea make old camera option like did with new map. problem solved everyone's happy. Cause I sure hate having open fitting window see optimals when old camera could scroll over guns see easy almost as bad as having go out of game now for links good job kill it some more

This was actually fixed last release! In the Esc menu, Shortcuts, Window tab, there is a hotkey called Maximize/Minimize all windows. You can bind this to any key and it will function like the old Tab. Regretfully it cannot be bound to Tab however

@CCP Turtlepower - Confirmed... The function that you've implemented isn't the same that was taken away when the double tap tab was pulled

You've basically set it to remove all windows and maximize them all.. Super annoying because you then have to re-minimize everything that wasn't fully open already.

Please get someone with Team Psycho sisters to engage on this thread, I'd love to see this go back in.

This is what I'm talking about >> Here
Note how all the windows stay in their respective positions (pinned and unpinned) but minimize so that all chat tabs are visible.

Don't recall exactly when the feature was removed, but I think a fair amount of players used it.

Hope that helped to clarify what i was talking about.

Please consider re implementation.
