We need the possibility to invert the way the mouse wheel zooms in and out of your ship in EVE.
As it was already stated in many topics before this, the way zooming is done in EVE is not intuitive for many people, as it is not how it works on most other games, and therefore conflicts with our experience and confort with the game as not all of us play EVE exclusively.
It would make it a lot more confortable to switch from other games to EVE and vice versa if EVE allowed us to invert the way zooming responds to the mouse wheel. |

This seems like a simple quality of life improvement that should be pretty easy to implement.

Please, please provide an option to invert the mouse while zoom function so it's the opposite to how you have it now. It drives me crazy every time I log back into EVE to find this option lacking.
http://eve-search.com/thread/1501191-0/page/1 wrote:I'm new to EVE and was amazed there was no option to invert the mouse wheel in a game as matured as this one. The way it works now is simply counter-intuitive to me. I've searched for a way to reverse it, but there seems to be no other way than using profiles in your mouse drivers. Most of the responses I've found on this were along the lines "No, it's right the way it is. You're stupid." and other unhelpful stuff like that.

The only thing that bothers me is that moving the mouse scroll button backwards zooms me in instead of zooming me out and scrolling forward zooms me out. I can't seem to figure out how to change that, and when I asked in the rookie chat they didn't seem to understand what I mean. I hope there's somebody here who can tell me how to change the zooming with the scroll button to "normal" in the game because I imagine there must be a way to change it.

A quick search in Google is all it takes to realize for how long people have been asking this. |

Bump. Don't let this idea die just because its not an exciting feature, players have been requesting it since 2006. |

If you have a input device from Logitech then you a feature that allows you to make custom settings for just that pupose. I don't know if you can in the M$ mouse driver settings.
And to be honest, who doesn't have a Logitech mouse if you play games?

You are kidding right? Logitech? There are way better mouses like Razor that won't offer this feature.
Besides, why would I buy a very specific piece of hardware just to bypass the lack of a feature that could be implemented in 5 minutes? |

Thread reported for redundancy.
As you already pointed out, this idea has been posted many times for a long time. If it hasn't already been implemented, it either cannot be done, or it's not a big enough deal to waste dev time on.
I'm sure if this was as important as you think it is, it would have already been implemented.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.

I'm sure if this was as important as you think it is, it would have already been implemented. At least 8 years of "redundancy" there are still waiting for an answer.
This may be not the kind of feature that brings hundreds of posts that therefore will have CCP attention, but its still an old demand from players that remain unanswered.
As an enthusiast programmer, I know this can be implemented in 5 minutes and there is no reason not to. |

I would also like inverted zoom. The way it is right now isn't very intuitive. |

I would not use it but it clearly needs to be an option.
I am kinda shocked at it not already being a thing.
I might even go as far to say its fairly lame. |

In this game for about half a year now and it still *is* annoying that this works just contrary to google maps or just about any other map out there. |
