Since the new patch, I've noticed something that has really bothered me: in Castor, when you used the LOOK AT feature to observe an enemy ship that you are pounding on, the camera would stay fixed on the target even as it exploded. This provided those of us in the movie making business with the so-called 'money shot'.
Ever since the Dawn of Exodus, this is no longer the case. When attacking a target, the second it starts to explode the camera immediately resets back to my ship. This... well, IT SUCKS!
I know that in the greater scheme of things this may seem small, but I know that for a large majority of PvPers, especially those of us who run FRAPs a lot, this new 'feature' is unwelcome to say the least.
Now, if there is a setting I can click that will correct this that I have somehow missed, I'd greatly appreciate someone telling me. Otherwise, can this somehow make the list of "things to change back to the way they were" for a future hotfix? Please? Pretty please with super-heated plasma on top, etc...?
EDIT - Please sign this thread to keep it bumped. I know I'm not the only one who is upset about this.

I did more testing of this last night against both NPCs and a couple corp mates who were nice enough to let me blow the crap out of them in some frigates. Every time the ship started to explode, the camera resets. This is really sad as the new explosions are so nice, what with the wreckage going everywhere and the new sound effects and the giant balls of fire and (rambles on for five more minutes...).
Anyway, I'd like to be able to film it. Soon (tm). Like, before Friday.

Wish we could set our own timing in the general options like 0sec (instant on explosion reset camera) or 5sec (wait 5 sec before reset camera) etc
Now that is an idea!

I just don't understand why these new/altered features cannot be enabled/disabled in the menu screen.
I just don't understand why this was changed in the first place. Hopefully it was something that got overlooked and can be fixed easily...

I don't give a rats anus about this but I'm bumping anyway to make seleene happy 
Thank you, Mai. I love your rotating sigs. 
CCP, this is REALLY getting absurd. I had perfect shots last night on five occasions when your fancy new explosions were suddenly out of my view because the damn camera instantly reset. I know in the greater sense of things, this may seem small but what is the point of adding these great new effects if people can't watch them up close??
No, I'm not going to shut up about this, so give me a yellow line on this post and pass it up the line please.

Isn't it a typical whine? Here's an great new feature with (lovely explosions) with some glitches. Ah, and in a minute there is always someone to post the most unconstructive whine ever... Geeez
To be more constructive by myself i am sure its post exodus bug and they will fix it asapÖ (eta next patch)
I'm sure they will patch it as well... so long as people make them aware of it. CCP has a strange habit of not noticing "minor" things like this and obviously many people find it to be important enough to mention.
Thank you for bumping the thread.

Originally by: chillz
The problem is that they've changed combat so your ship stops once your target is dead. Obviously the've rewired the throttle through the sensor array.
Anyway, whilst your watching the pretty lights your ship has stopped, leaving you very vunerable to any other targets out there. If they are to bring the camera back they are going to have to change ships behaviour after the target is killed. Flying off on the last tangent would be my favoured option. I can't see them being able to change the camera without changing ship behaviour, the petitions would just swarm in.
You're absolutely correct, Chillz. This needs to be adjusted as well.

EB: BDCI and FRICK are two seperate corps. You seemed to be confused about this in the thread where you asked about panties as well.

Have you ever noticed that the DEV's don't answer any thread started by you. Maybe your just too scarey for them 
After the number of threads I've started with over 100 replies and not once has a Dev posted... hell, I'm open to any theory at this point.

Just an innocent question, but has this been logged and bugreported?
One often get a better reaction from BR's then threads.
Submitted to Devs,
CCP needs to fix this,
Need money shot back.

The reset of the camera becoming instant was the result of the removal of a feature that was causing problems on the server. We're looking at doing it in other ways that don't cause problems.
