I have an idea which I think would dramatically improve the UX for Eve: The camera mechanics should be updated such that you are always able to move the camera around your ship, rather than the current RNG-based system. Failing that it would be good if the times when the camera was static it didn't result in a crash when you are jumping.

I understand that RNG plays a part in games, I don't want to reduce the skillcap in Eve and I know this mechanic has been around for a a long time, but this reliance on RNG seems too overpowered. Perhaps it's time to introduce a script for sensor boosters to improve resistance to camera freeze?

I don't know how others feel about this new feature, but personally I think it would be great to undock in a FAX with >50% chance of actually being able to jump without redocking / crashing to desktop.

Does anyone else have some ideas on how this area of gameplay could be changed?

what are you talking about?



i think if what i have pulled together is correct you just need to turn your camera mode to tactical and not orbit

A longstanding bug that I'm hoping CCP might think about fixing at some point.

aye i remember this bug and it was generally fixed by changing to the other camera mode. I had thought it was fixed if you are still getting this you want a bug report not a F&I post.


(trust me if you want ccps attention this is the last place to go)

Take the dynamic camera off in the settings and it'll behave like it always has. I don't see what RNG has to do with camera movement
