The new camera is not as practical for pvp when compared to the old one for the following reasons.
-Narrow field of view limits my situation awareness.
-Inertia on zoom in and out, i have a ratchet-less scroll wheel, i would like my screen to stop zooming when i stop my wheel.
-Less damping on spinning the camera gives less accurate control over where the camera stops spinning, which since camera orientation is the primary input method is a horrible decision.
Lets be fair and look at the benefits.
-When flying near an asteroid i can see the crappy texture a little more easily.
In conclusion, i manually pilot and sometimes have to maneuver around dozens of targets while going 8.5km/s. Leaving arguments about OGB and snakes aside, this new camera will make it much harder to control my ship and even harder to make decisions ahead of time when planning my trajectories around hostile targets.
You are absolutely going to have to make the default 'new camera' the same as the old one. If people want to choose cinematic options for making videos or shooting red crosses, im glad they have the option. I would like, as a pvper to have the option to retain the functionality of the camera we already have.
Thanks, but no thanks. I dont think ill feel like undocking if im going to less effective in combat just because of a new camera. |

Current camera is fine. Why be a **** and change it for something worse? |

Not only are there additional clicks required to look at each object to be able to scan, but the old tracking camera also tracked in warp, so you could Dscan plexes when they came into range. The new C tracking camera only works when you are out of warp. Which is a shame.
Should probably preface that post with 'im a very casual player who only flies a rifter'. |

Hate to break it to those developing the new camera.
Whoever designed the parameters for rotation damping, zoom damping and field of view were just a lot smarter than the guys who are currently working on it.
You get the impression that the people who designed the original camera not only cared about the gameplay itself, but they also played the game.
Playability is quite obviously not the priority with the new camera. |
