Does this have a proper chase cam?

My thinking is that in other games the mouse is typically used for rotating the view, but in EVE it's usually busy elsewhere clicking buttons.

Of course with changeable shortcuts. UP must point your nose down.

besides WASD for moving around.. What will be throttle control... It will be wierd as hell having to click little +/- on the UI with the mouse... Is their a way to incorporate some keys for the speed attribute? I know the game shows +/- for accel /deccel but I have never actually had it do anything ingame other then flash "Please wait" on my screen. That will be a big thing where it concerns ceptor pilots etc.

Some call it a barrel roll

I have fixed this up too so it actually accelerates your ship, even from completely stopped.

NO WAY!!!!

I thought this wasn't possible? The fact that there are thousand player battles didn't make this possible. If this suddenly becomes possible, then it changes EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING. You guys do realize the meaning of that word right. Let me give you an example. Star Trek Online doews this, and theres one big difference from that game and this one, and thats targeting ranges. Then theres transversal, and how on earth would you control a titan, I can only really see this being useful for small ship combatmaybethatwasthepointoki'llshutupnowHOLYCRAPIMSOEXCITED!!!

I thought a major part of the new player experience for all of us was undocking and not knowing how to pilot our ship in space.....this is a major blow to that experience. Lol

Sounds good, I wonder how far we can go here.
Integrate Valkyrie with EVE maybe?

Just think of possibilities....

Key Bindings can be changed to whatever you find most convenient. It's up to you how you bind they keys.
