5pinDizzy Amarr Pillow Fighters Inc	Posted - 2009.12.17 00:11:00 - [1] Edited by: 5pinDizzy on 17/12/2009 00:12:33 Is the only solution a new mouse? (It works completely fine in other games it's a Logitech G5 gaming mouse, around 3 years old) Or is it CCP for having two indescriminate clicks on a screen to move a ship after what is generally a laggy transition from one side of the gate to another? It's starting to get expensive unfortunately, I just lost 57 million worth of ship and modules senselessly in a situation I could easily have gotten out of but couldn't by the time I realise from rotating zoomed out yet again that my ship had uncloaked itself and started wondering off in a random direction, allowing it to get webbed down to death by cruisers.
Enduros Enterprise Estonia Cult of War	Posted - 2009.12.17 03:40:00 - [2] This one time, at game camp, I flew my ishtar into 4 nos domis.... Was using touchpad to play, never using it to play again... - This one time, at gate camp, I shot a shuttle...

CaptainAttitude GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.12.17 04:07:00 - [4] I fixed this problem with a new mouse.
Lance Fighter Amarr	Posted - 2009.12.17 05:40:00 - [5] I lost a crusader to a pair of tristans because of this. And I still play with my touchpad :) wouldnt have it any other way. Also, lets me chat that much faster... less travel between mouse and keyboard.. OHGODS BELOW THIS LINE IS MY SIG !!!! SRSLY! Blane Xero > Lance is at -0.9 sec status with a 1 million bounty. Lance is also amarrian. Thats 3 evil points
Kirzath Blackwater Syndicate	Posted - 2009.12.17 06:23:00 - [6] I, too, have had this problem. Except rather than lose ships due to soaring in an unfriendly direction, I lost kills because I was the fleet tackler and I soared out of range New mouse revolved the issue, it's good to replace it every 1-2 years. Cheap too.
Kestrix	Posted - 2009.12.17 06:48:00 - [7] I had the same problem when I bought an expensive logitech mouse so I went and got a cheap optical usb mouse and it's been great ever since :) kestrix
Slaedden Caldari	Posted - 2009.12.17 15:32:00 - [8] Never spend lots on money on mice or keyboards, just go with your standard $10 Logitech optical and everything will be fine.
dracice R.E.C.O.N.	Posted - 2009.12.17 15:34:00 - [9] whats the question exactly? takes 2 clicks with any mouse to change the ship direction. should be wasd keys to change direction anyway.

What a stupid quote... Unless you can't afford it, that's idiotic... That 10 buck p-o-s can't compete with 4000-5000 dpi, no matter the application... Personally I prefer Razer above everthing else, had like 7-8 so far, since the very early days and none of them lasted less than 3 years and only 2 of those messed up anyway, still have the rest. http://www.battleclinic.com/kill_sigs/signature_display.php?string=McBrite

LULZ WASD? that's 2 dimensional. How do you go up and down? :P EDIT: I'm suddenly reminded of Wrath of Khan......
wiLik Zor Industries Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.12.17 16:55:00 - [13] @OP Try adjusting the double click speed of your mouse. If you speed it up a bit it may stop you accidentally double-clicking when you actually mean to do two single clicks fairly quick in succession.

Himnos Altar Gallente	Posted - 2009.12.17 18:18:00 - [15] then how do you click on stuff in-game/change your viewpoint?

I replace my Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical about ever 8 months for this very reason. They use sub-standard switches that wear out quickly and start doing crazy stuff like double-clicking or not clicking at all. I'd get a different mouse entirely but I love the shape and feel of that mouse and no other that I've tried satisfies me (insert joke here). They are pretty cheap though so it's no biggie for me. I actually bought a 5 pack the last time I ordered hehe! --- To err is human but it shouldn't be the company motto...

Vidi Angelus Caldari Axis and Alloys Libertas Fidelitas	Posted - 2009.12.17 20:05:00 - [18] Edited by: Vidi Angelus on 17/12/2009 20:07:49 The ability to choose if a key must be pressed while clicking to move, placed in the menu would be a very simple, effective & easy to implement option. But lets face it, It'll never happen. Of the 8 stealth bombers I've lost in the past 2 months, 5 have been due to this (mainly due to a Samsung laptop touchpad that thinks its being clicked while typing on the keyboard, Although the issue is very common with dell laptops)

LULZ WASD? that's 2 dimensional. How do you go up and down? :P EDIT: I'm suddenly reminded of Wrath of Khan...... um... our ships are at a seperately set speed, just like Khan's stolen cruiser (FULL IMPULSE POWER!!!). W and S would be pitch. Khan's problem was that he was only using A and D. Moot point tho, WASD would equal deadly lag in EVE's server structure. For twitch based controls, look to your more limited mass market games in your local gamestore. ----- Vak'Ran is your local official non-dedicated part-time advocate of reading comprehension and proliferation of intelligence on the EVE Online Forums.

small chimp	Posted - 2009.12.18 01:51:00 - [21] hmm? how about accidentally doubleclicking when pressing ctrl + click and trying to target enemies? I noticed that when i had wandered 50km off from my fleet. (I dieeeed shortly after that)
Miranda Matari key tech limited	Posted - 2009.12.18 10:02:00 - [22] I didn¦t lose any ships to this so far, but it has happened to me too .... luckily i was always able to get back into RR Range :) For me the mouse was the culprit. I had an old MS Explorer 3.0 (complete with burnmarks and all) that i use when my wireless mouse is empty. Now since i rarely use my windows for anything other than playing Eve it took me a while to figure this out. My mouse always issued a double-click when i clicked ... After doing some stuff on the Desktop it became obvious pretty quickly (hey, i clicked this once, why is it opening the file ?). -- Miranda Matari of the key tech limited

Par'Gellen Gallente Tres Hombres Psychiatric Hospital Uno Chica Loco	Posted - 2009.12.18 15:47:00 - [25] A corp mate and I were mining using several accounts a couple of years ago and noticed that after a few alt-tabs one of the barges would just start flying away on it's own in a random direction. We chalked it up to a GM testing us to see if we were macros. LOL! --- To err is human but it shouldn't be the company motto...
