This is how your camera works with dynamic offset.
I hatched area where my ship should to be, regardless of zoom or FOV level.
But most often my ship is elsewhere, but not in the hatched area.
And Custom tracking position must be #2 in your "TO DO" list after dock animation toggle.

This has probably been mentioned before, but the wallet animation when your balance changes works fine as long as you are not selling or buying stuff in bulk.

I sold around 100 different items yesterday and the wallet wouldn't stop popping up for each and every transaction. It went on for about 15 minutes after I left the trading hub.

LOL!!! I had that happen, just turn the "Live Balance" off

Regarding the event itself, I mostly enjoy completing the Serpentis Shipyard & Research site, mainly for the implant drops. I'm not really interested in grindng points, though.

Hi!

I'd like to write a few words regarding the current event.


The best event you have already made I remember was this one with blood raiders and cerebral accelerators. It was pretty profitable for site hunters. Nice loot. very proftable (for own use or by selling cerebral accelerators)

The next one (sansha one if i'm not wrong) was fail. Sites spawned in limited number, loot was not worth of hunting. I collected some t-shirts and quafe zero's and gave up. and some crappy bpc. Better idea was even mining in a venture in Perimeter. It would give comparable profit to 99.99% of site hunters.

The previous one (Guristas) was much more time consuming than these earlier (spawn was harder). And profits similar to Sansha's - T-shirts and bantam skin. I made a few sites and gave up.

The current event sucks
Please understand. If you offer an event which offers something like standing grinding without any loot, with very demanding conditions (for bronze container a player has to complete 100 shipyards), then players will not massively participathe in this "event". EVE is a game with strong a economy factor. It is more reasonable to make 100 lvl4 missions, make a lot of isk and then - if anything is worth to have from this event - just buy on the market, and skill injectors for the rest of money. It is simpler, more convenient and more cost efective. Please offer us events which are opportnity to have something better than a normal game. This recurring opportunity (kill rat get 10k exp) was betterr than the whole "shadow of the serpent event"

I would say your doing a pretty awesome job but may i offer a suggestion for a future addition ? T2 salvage drones, that is one thing I havent seen an upgrade to yet is salvage drones perhaps something with a faster salvage rate ? just my random suggestion otherwise folks keep up the amazing work :)

Problem 1. Docking animation is making me ill. Literally This is the same kind of visual movement that the new camera caused with triggering my vertigo. I've managed to tweak the camera to the point where I'm not fighting down nausea as much, but the docking does not come with settings I could tweak. Docking and basically re-docking on each ship change while trying to keep my drink internally is not my idea of a fun evening playing video games.

Problem 2. At undock the slow pan out and turn messes with my depth perception AND where I've set the zoom for that ship for distance from 'me'. Trying to short circuit this 'nice shiny looking' effect causes all kinds of bad words to escape when that borks up the zoom point I set and now have to chase down again. This is not where I want to use my mouse fidgeting habit. There are better places in the game to mouse over and over.

Problem 3. Too Slow!!!! Just like the delay on target destroyed gave me trouble with picking my next target (it went away when the damned Gong! left, thank the Spirits) this slow ponderous dock and undock animation takes too long. If I'm docking and undocking regularly, I'm kind of in a hurry to get to my next content contribution to the game. I don't have the patience to wait for a slow pan and scan each and every time, just to look 'kewl'. I got things to pew.

The feedback from SISI was not all smiles and roses. The same types of feedback on several pet projects that made it live to TQ, and then were either grudgingly given settings or an on/off toggle or flat out removed. My question is thus:

Why do we have to rant and yell on the general feedback thread of a release or expansion, to get the changes in place that were suggested in a much more polite tone to a SISI feedback thread but were left off or ignored in comparison of some overarching 'Vision' we, the paying customers, are balking against?

Sheesh. Just give an on/off toggle on this undock/dock animation and call it a win for everyone. Because for the life of my clones, I cannot see how having that choice would somehow break another vital part of upcoming releases and expansions. This is a nice to have. Some of us don't want to have it.

I would rather have kept the ingame browser and ditched this, than lose that option and get the dock/undock of ponderous vertigo triggering time wasting animation. Perhaps programming resources were prioritized differently than optimal for pleased (non-irate) customer responses.

Only now saw the update from CCP Mimic. Will leave this up anyways, for the more detailed feedback it contains. Maybe it will give some Dev a reason to hit the brakes and question next time a rather 'unpopular' change or addition is not doing so well on SiSi before it goes live on TQ, and act upon the feedback, not just listen/read it.

So, If I am understanding this correctly - We are to LOSE more control over the new camera because you added an animation (timer) nobody wanted or asked for?

Your answer to the feedback asked for and given here is to further limit player options - Don't like Docking Undocking animation, ok you can toggle it but you are also toggling other camera options you may or may not like or use.
OR, you like XYZ option, you can have it but have to put up with Docking Undocking animation as well.

I mean seriously, are Devs so butt hurt that your little animations were so disliked your going to punish players further by combining it into a group toggle?
On, animations +
Off, no options


NB; For cinema buffs who want to use undocking animation in a bit free advertising for CCP, they can just record the animation a few times and recycle it. Although why anyone would want to use a bunch of zoomed out lines that form a circle in a video is beyond me.

25 pages now and the only option you can come up with is to remove more than the problem animation. A request for a toggle has become a challenge for Devs to Nerf the camera, "just enough".

CCP - we tested a carrier with plenty of omnidirectionals and can confirm that they are still awesome.

Still a brilliant force multiplier for a small group like us.

If you've satisfied the people who wanted the nerf, then good job on the balance pass because they are still heaps of fun to fly.

Thanks heaps

undock-dock animation .. annoying .. undocking first time after logging in prior was little slugish .. now its even more ..
since u did kill the static station could u just add a option to always keep the camera in one place .. something meybe as looking at the scope news screen from other side of the ship ..
