The camera zoom in on the new orbit camera tracks way to weird, even after I stop scrolling the camera still proceeds to scan in further then intended, it give the sensation of being out control of the view.

The FOV with the orbit camera creates a feeling of delay that the current camera system doesn't.

The old camera feels very smooth and responsive, where as this one seems to lag behind the player movement and honestly causes a bit of nausea for me on the swing due to the FOV change (Normally I don't experience this at all in game) .

The default FOV on the tactical/orbit cameras seem to be a bit much and cause initial discomfort.

Can we have an option to tune the FOV because it just doesn't feel comfortable to me the way its locked.

If it goes in this way I won't be able to stand playing the game in this mode due to the discomfort.

Audio: Please give options to turn off the ambiance. I normally crank all of that down (except for thera and Incursions because those options don't exist)

orbit camera locks when you warp, you can't turn it. rather annoying. have to change camera mode and change back to unlock it again.

the offset is still annoying as ****, even though reduced. my ship still just swings wildly around when i pan the camera due to the offset making it very difficult to figure out where i actually am...


please give us the option to just centre the camera on our damn ship and keep it there? i like the new camera options but i'm never going to use them if basic things like having your ship in the middle of the screen aren't available as a feature.

The orbit camera is sticking now when in warp, jumping a gate, or even just undocking. Actually changing to tactical mode and back fixed it once, but does not anymore. Orbit cam is completely frozen. Bug report EBR-56881

Just got home and tried the new camera again... yup still completely borked. Other than testing all of the things that don't work properly there was absolutely no desire to use it and switched immediately back to old camera.

None of the shortcuts seem to do anything other than flash a box on the screen and put the words "tracking camera" in the selected item window. The view itself never changes.

As others have mentioned, warping to a bm causes the camera to freeze and you have to switch to another camera and back again.

Zooming in still zooms in the distant starfield WAY too much and makes the background stars/nebula's look horribly stretched and pixelated and also destroys the sense of distance at a much larger scale than looking at a station. As I've mentioned before it makes "the box" incredibly obvious.

Orbit camera is way too far off center on a moving ship and it's just annoying.

You succeeded in giving a more dramatic sense of scale when close to large objects like stations but you've done it at the expense of any kind of actual camera functionality. All of this just to make citadels look more impressive???

PLZ don't put this on live in this state.

On a positive note, you did at least move all the extra new buttons so they don't overlap the text for armor and structure percentages....yay....

All controls stop working in orbit mode for me and I either have to change season or rapidly swap camera modes to get it working again

I was very excited about the First Person camera, but the implementation isn't what I was hoping for. It's fun for a few minutes, but isn't something I would use on a regular basis.

The camera's view direction is fixed with respect to the ship, so dragging the image has no effect, and the only way to look around is to actually turn the ship. That bothers me a lot. It would be so much better if I could drag the camera around, looking in whatever direction I want. Dragging shouldn't have anything to do with the ship's direction of movement, just the direction the camera is pointed. (imagine sitting in the cockpit, and wanting to look back over your shoulder).

I would also like to see the max FOV of the first person camera be as large or even larger than the current camera, to let me get a full grasp of the nearby space. In the current implementation, it feels a bit narrower.

I like the zoom feature, although I think having much more granularity would be better than the current, seemingly small number of available steps.

Being able to detach the camera and move it, say, outside and behind the ship, could be very cool.

While I sometimes enjoy adjusting my own field of view, it takes a bit of handiwork to make it -just so right- only to lose it after a jump transition. That's the only reason I don't utilize it anymore.

My vote is to keep it, along with many other currently loved features, but also to make the adjustments persist through systems. While you're at it.

Jumping through a gate in first person camera mode causes some incredibly messed up things to happen with the jump effect and warp tunnel animation and breaks the camera controls until you switch around a few times.

camera still doesn't put your ship in the middle of the screen (which i still think is pretty ******* fundamental to a camera feature, being able to see your ship).

also it just seems to freak out when warping/gate jumping.

it's borderline unusable. every time i gate jump i have to change camera modes because the orbit camera is locked.

Where is the off switch for that horrible sound effect when in Tactical?
(one of my neighbours came and asked me what the "weird noise" was. Yet said she can't otherwise hear anything while I am playing Eve - Is the horrible sound effect just too loud?)

Detaching the camera to look at your surroundings, might be useful if you could center it on something - say like your ship, so you have a point of reference. The panning around is ok but the only way I can find to get the camera back to your ship (quickly, like when you get engaged by hostiles) is to exit tactical mode - Sort of defeats the role of a tactical camera if you need to keep switching to use it.
A tactical camera should have the functionality to track objects (like we have now with the nice useful, tracking camera)

1st person mode - Why? It may be ok for shooting things that aren't moving (you can get it in your crosshairs, whoopee) but aside from that, it doesn't serve much purpose and simply replaces current (useful) functionality.

Orbit camera (on a 28" screen) has too narrow a view - the amount of scrolling needed to keep up with a moving target is just stupid.
At 1,300 m you can just make out it is a frigate, through the red targeting ring. Something not quite right?
"Look At" you can see your target - instead of a blur with a red overlay. Or is 1,300 metres just not close enough for the camera to function as described?



Still not sure why we are losing current functionality (tracking camera for one) to have it replaced with - Well not much really - On, look at all the pretty - Off, is off; is not functionality. A new camera (mode) so those who want to can detach look at all the pretty (or whatever) is ok, but not at the cost of overall functionality and usability.
