To have the new camera like the old one just uncheck every freaking new camera checkbox options and move the slider to "stiff". helped me a ton.

The thing is it really isnt. What I want back is my ship centered on the screen and a custom tracking position so I can look at what I want to look at, how I want to look at it.

I agree with others saying this modification just strips functionality away from a working part of a game just to give the audience something new and I hate it. Really it does feel that they made it just because they wanted it to seem like they were doing something. I, and others, made multiple posts about making the custom tracking position and ship centering an option for the new camera but it seems they JUST DIDNT WANT TO LISTEN.

If I cannot get the camera right and I start getting nauseated while trying to play this game I will cancel my subs. And I know people on here will be like, who cares, can I have your stuff, and my subs dont really matter, but really isn't this game meant to be fun. if the camera prevents me from having that fun then what point is there to playing the game.

TLDR: CCP fix your f-ing mess because if people cant stand to play the game then they arent going to sub.

Except that;

- Vertical panning requires twice as much input as horizontal panning.

- Once you zoom out to just beyond being able to see your ship, there are FAR fewer increments of zoom. This means that the zoom is much faster (practically uncontrollable on a ratchet-less scroll wheel) than the old zoom and its often quite hard to micro manage your zoom level while kiting a gang since each 'step' of zoom is such a large distance.



There are no settings to fix these fundamental behaviours of the new camera.

These things may not be very noticeable for a rookie/casual player but for people who pushed the old camera to the limits, this new camera is a severe downgrade.
