well, that's a work around, allright..
but as per quality tailoring for older PC, eg ability to select high, medium or low quality effects etc, there's should also be an option for this IMHO.. just sayn..

Noticing sevre camera drift if you bump a gate just before jump animation with a prop mod lit.

If I hit a gate even with a 5mn mwd running the gate shifts severally left/right depending on the camera swing when the gate animation fires to send you through a session change.

Tracking Camera weapon/module noise seems to be somewhat muted as well.

I jumped on Sisi and it's back to a peaceful experience... almost. Any chance you can add the gate jump animation to the Dynamic Camera option?

I'm really looking forward to the toggle hitting TQ!

Thanks for making that happen, it really means a lot to me.

However, it must be said I've grown very fond of the Captain's Quarters in the few days I've been forced to use it! I expect that while I will see the benefit of the proposed changes, I will probably not be going back to using the station interior. I think I should probably detail why...

I do a fair bit of trading with one character permanently docked in Jita 4-4 and a second character permanently docked in an "offshoring" Citadel 1 jump away. I have a 7 screen system for my PC of which 3 screens are arranged in an arc directly in front of me and perform as my main display. When I am trading the rightmost screen will have my Jita 4-4 trader, the leftmost screen will have my Citadel trader and the middle screen is used for whatever it is that I'm doing other than trading (i.e. forums, internet, whatever).

Because I'm autistic, bright lights (or indeed any sensory information) can make me uncomfortable and agitated, the room I sit in is softly lit and all my OS backgrounds and windows are all set to be dark colours (black or grey) with clearly visible contrasting edges and buttons. This means I can easily operate the OS UI because everything that needs to be seen can be seen but it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable just to look at. The EVE UI does not have these kind of configuration options and therefore I've had to compromise, so I don't find the UI uncomfortable (when set to Dark Matter) but I have a hard time seeing the edges of windows and fields because of the lack of contrast and the thin window edges.

When I look at my two trading screens with windows minimised, the CQ screen is calming and serene. The only movement that isn't trivial to put out of frame is the occasional fidgeting of my Avatar and that doesn't really bother me. The big screen, the coffee table widgets and the hanger door are the only obvious sources of light and movement and they are all easy to move out of frame if I need to.

When I look at the the Citadel station interior, there are two massive billboards and the nature of the content displayed on them means that there is a lot of flashing, bright lights and movement (the CQ screen is much gentler, although it still likes to constantly flash at you). There are also a lot of flashing lights, bright lights and moving lights in pretty much every direction, so there is no pleasant place to rest the camera, the best compromise I've found is to look directly downwards but then you get the flashing lights coming up the tube beneath your ship/pod. This issue is made considerably worse by the fact that I don't have exclusive use of the camera when docked.

Now as far as I have been able to establish, these particular features that I find unpleasant cannot be deactivated. There were many other features that I also found unpleasant but they were easy to switch off or configure so that they no longer cause any problem (i.e. sound). So my method of making my trading gameplay tolerable, is to arrange windows across both of my screens so that the station interior is covered by them. This works well on the CQ screen but isn't totally essential due to the relatively pleasant CQ environment. But this doesn't fully work on the Citadel station interior because the lights are everywhere, they move around and the way the UI handles snapping means there are generally gaps between windows which allow these flashing lights to be both visible and distracting.

I know my complaints probably represent only a single digit percentage of the EVE playerbase, so I don't really expect much to be done to accommodate us. All I really ask is that you don't make life unnecessarily hard for me and people like me and you consider putting toggles in for graphical features like these before you have to be dragged kicking and screaming through 27 pages of predictable feedback.

Thanks again for the incoming toggle!

EVE has always been play to win to the extent that it has always been possible to gain an advantage by spending more RL currency on the game than another player. That hasn't really changed. All that has happened is that CCP have made it easier to pay and shifts in the gaming marketplace have lead to players being more willing to pay.


...and have then sold those skillpoints on to the next generation.

The new players could do this before with PLEX, adding injectors did not introduce this. The big difference now is that when a new player buys 100m SP from the market, a veteran did not have to give up his whole character to make that happen. It's the same dynamic as before though, whenever a new player chooses to "pay to win" he does so by giving cash to CCP and circulating isk in-game that often ends up in a veteran player's wallet.


I have often chosen to fly alongside those loosers on welfare that have become super good and beaten all the veterans, so I disagree.


Now that I'm in 100% agreement with. Where is that 10 year veteran lounge? Where are those account birthday gifts?

TQ is back up and the docking animation is gone!

(If you untick "Dynamic Camera Movement" in Display & Graphics settings)

THANK YOU for giving us a way to turn off that docking/undocking animation!

I feel like I just left a toxic relationship, I feel so freeeeee

Immediate situational awareness again, it's so snappy!

I have tears, tears of joy in my eyes!

It's so much better with the Dynamic Camera Movement toggle unchecked.

Thank you!!!

P.S.: could we, pretty please, have the jump gate animation also classified as 'dynamic camera movement'?

Thanks for this, goodbye captain's quarters. Hey, I'm kind of getting used to that now, maybe it's not so bad apart from load times .
