new camera mode: Depending where the mouse cursor is positioned, when you "zoom in closer to the ship" the ship will appear further and further "off center of the screen" in any direction (the direction is dictated by where the mouse cursor is while you scrollig zoom button). Its as if the ship moves in a opposite direction of the mouse cursor.

Im wondering if such a camera mechanic could be applied to other objects in the game other than zooming in on yourself.

I suppose the beauty of such a camera mode is you can experience the full glory of your ship while same time leave the center of the screen blank for whatever content you would like.

Potentially this camera mechanic can allow you "keep track of your own ship in relation to the enemy ship"

And yes i know a similar mechanic exists, but this one could be better potentially

a key component of this camera mode might be: when you are zooming out everything gets smaller much quicker than your ship, its as if the ship size of your ship gets smaller much slower than everything else on screen, like some sort of drag, as if its lagging behind
