Just realized that you want us to post here now, so I am just copy and pasting from the other thread
Orbiting Camera
When I tried the new orbiting camera for the first time it felt weird and gave me a sick feeling (motion sickness?). So I tried to find out what caused it and noticed that the ship was not truly centred all the time. Later I found out that this was this "Feature"
Quote:Ship position on screen is offset based on the speed vector of your ship, giving a much improved sense of speed and movement.
So I deactivated that "Feature" I disabled other options like camera bobbing and so on on the old camera already. After removing that FOV thing aswell the camera felt somewhat okay (so after I disabled all cinematic features)
Increasing the camera speed to 2.5-3 times made it feel somewhat sharp (still a little bit washy though) and responsive and fast (this is actually better than the old camera in my opinion - when I switched back to the old camera later I missed the the faster scrolling and movement)
Anyway with all those settings disabled the camera actually felt good, and I thought I could get used to it. Then I scouted the chain saw a couple of active towers on d-scan, so I wanted to scan them down.
"Oh damnit, there is no tracking camera - well I guess I'll have to click C every single time I want to try a different moon, that is anoying - oh well." *Clicks C* Camera moves around, like usual the ship moves in front of the moon, ...
... but the camera doesn't stop there and the ship drifts to the side of the sceen.
This is already odd enough - I mean I disabled this stupid "Feature" that the ship position gets offset already, so I don't want it to be different for the tracking camera. But the worst thing is still coming:
It does not show the tower at 5-¦.
But the moon I am looking at, is the only moon that is at the correct range. So I warp there anyway and find the POS.
At this point the new camera died for me.
- Longer look at range
- Faster Movement (even though it could maybe be a little bit more precise)
- Multilock is nice
All those features don't matter if there is no working tracking camera. Please bring that camera back and fix that ship offset - or at least give the option to disable that aswell  .
I always thought of EVEs UI as one of the best game UIs because it doesn't have any unnecessary gimmicks that "are cool" but an artless tool you can modify, which helps you against your enemy. I don't want to have to fight the UI first, so that I can fight the enemy after that. Like a doctor doesn't want a sword instead of a scalpel just because some people think that would be cool. I want a UI that feels empowering not annoying.
Tactical Camera
Generally very nice. A single key to center the camera position back on your own ship without searching it in space and clicking "look at" would probably help a lot. I didn't experiment too much with it yet. Still have to try if manual piloting works in that. Probably not as good as in orbit camera, but will see.
First Person Camera
Nice Gimmick.
That is about it. |
