I guess the ego of some of CCP people involved of making this new camera angle is too strong to listen to customer feedback. Imagine if NASA, Boeing, Airbus, etc made cockpit layouts based on how engineers want it, not giving a fart about the cockpit crew's opinions.
Good thing this is a computer game eh? So I guess reversed engineering is valid here.

The developers working on the camera have made numerous changes in response to player feedback and plan to make more. They've started a new feedback thread for the camera as of the March release and if you have any specific feedback on how the current version of the new camera is working for you (or not) please post in that thread.

If you've been disabling the new camera because versions from weeks ago have had behaviors you found unpleasant, please enable it again and try one more time before commenting.

It would have been easier (and cheaper on CCP's side) to just replicate the old camera with new code and add any extra bling on that functionality, instead of making a camera with uncalled features and missing functions being used by players... and then tweak it and upgrade it and fill it with on/off tickboxes until it mostly works like the camera being used by the players without, shall I insist, without objections.

You can't please everybody, and in a community like EVE's that's impossible. But something is wrong when unbroken features are broken gratuitously and then we must provide feedback to unbreak them.

I hate the new camera its fiddly and doesn't always do what i want it to do especially when i'm in a fight...
so well done ccp yet another change none of us asked for presumably to help align with valkyrie that you see as an 'improvement' but that most of us turn off when we have the option
