Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

As long as there is no tracking cam like the old one has and the zoom is super sensitive I won´t try it outside of "comedy use" for sure. It has some nice features but the changes are super drastic so I guess it won´t see much real testing in serious combat situations.

Just be sure to share these opinions in the current feedback thread. Who knows if they are paying attention to this one any more since the feature has been pushed to tranquility.

I understand the need to update old code etc. But why is it so hard to keep original functionality? It's like the new map all over again.

This new camera is complete ass and after one jump in a carrier where I think my camera lost it's somewhat sentient awareness I disabled that crap.

Too sensitive, too complicated, and too difficult to control.

I get what you are trying to do but it looks from a user perspective you put too many "if else" logic blocks and they are fighting each other, causing the camera to wig out at the worst times.

Simplify it or leave Old Reliable as a permanent option.

please

I miss the functionality of being able to 'toggle' tracking camera, instead of having to manually track every single object.

Turning on tracking camera, single-clicking on celestials/anoms to d-scan, and then turning it back off was really handy. With the new camera, I have to hold a button AND click on each celestial. It's just a bit irksome.

I'm guessing this new camera is intended to complement increased grid sizes. I think it would have helped to highlight that justification, but not a single mention. It's awkward but intuitive enough that I felt myself getting accustomed to it after a few minutes. My only suggestion is returning "camera look" to a toggle (formerly C as the shortcut). I don't see the point of changing that behavior.

The track camera I would want and use is like this:

Target moving toward me

Away from me

Shows the target's speed and angular velocity, the bare essentials. Angular V because it is the stat that correlates to turret tracking.

Directional arrow because at that range you just can't tell where the other ship is going. Saves the player the back-and-forth between looking at target and back at their own ship.

In this tracking view I would want the camera locked off-center over the shoulder of my ship so I could keep it in view. The camera should swivel on my ship.

An indicator of my own ship would be okay, especially if I could manipulate the direction indicator line to steer my ship. This saves the player from needing to point the camera off in a lateral direction (away from the action) to double-click in space.

Tracking camera right now is useless because without your own ship in the frame, you lose the reference point.

1000000000x times this .. every sailor will know that .. it is so easy to gouge the speed etc and positions with vectors in space

While it has a few cool features & looking at other ships is far prettier, I have 2 things that stop me really wanting to use this camera:

A) The inertia both when zooming and panning is still a bit much even after the last fix, I want to feel in control of the camera not like im slingshotting it roughly in the direction I want, best case scenario would be to make it adjustable by the player.

B) I use left alt as my Push-to-Talk key on any comms, alt + scrolling with the mouse wheel changes the FoV even with dynamic FoV turned off. So anytime I want to zoom in/out while talking on comms my FoV changes and there's no zooming. It's so annoying. Obviously this would be 100% fine if I could rebind the key combination but I literally cannot find anything to do with ALT + Scroll/zoom in any of the shortcut tabs. Please make this rebindable.
