New camera is great
But something that has been talked about a bit before
Manually piloting towards a ship is easy to do
You just click on their ship and start clicking in space
Manually piloting away from a ship is hard to do
You have to look at the ship/object then find your own ships icon in space and click on that
It would be excellent if auto tracking is enabled and you look at/move camera focus onto another object it defaults to tracking your own ship
As this would be excellent for pvp
If people want to do something else not pvp related they have time to press other buttons click on other stuff etc.
So I just play tested all this
And the other issue I have is while double clicking in space its easy to accidentally disable tracking
which is a bad result
and also defeats the purpose of those tracking control shortcuts?
So in short
if i enable auto tracking make it hard lock in the on position
always tracking unless i press a shortcut or something (not drag left click in space)
and make it logical in that if i look at something it auto tracks my own ship
So again/stillI have the same issue I have stated many times before
the same issue that was broken in the old camera
theirs a short cut key to look at
but pressing it again dosnt turn off look at
I have to wade through hard to use menu's to get the camera back on my own ship and tracking things I click on
which as always I need to do effortless and quickly otherwise I go pop
and dying while fighting the eve UI when I want to die in honorable space combat isn't fun |

I'm not sure about the tracking part, but you can just alt+click in space to look at your own ship again.
Testing this now
Ok that works wow thanks
But I still think the look at button should be functional on its own
Without having to use the mouse
i.e. if i hit look at without clicking on something, it looks at what i have selected
if i hit it again it returns to my ship
if i hit it again it looks at what i was looking at before
and if I have PVP camera mode i.e. autotracking
if I look at something it should default to autotracking my own ship
unless i do something else to tell it not to
Not only am I sure this sort of logical implementation would be appreciated by all PvP pilots, newbros, and the less able bodied, to me at least it just seems purely logical.
Less clicks is a win for everyone.
So it's really just tracking being easy to accidentally turn off
and very hard to turn on in comparison
and its a nightmare trying to track your own ship from another object
these all combine to make a very bad experience
as if I actually manage to get the camera tracking my own ship from someone elses
I can start manually piloting /spiraling away, until the "you did something I'm not gonna track that object you went to great effort to start tracking" feature kicks in.
Heres a diagram:
camera pointing at [My ship] with [enemy ship] behind it
this enables me to manually pilot towards (spiral) the ship by clicking in space
Getting the camera into this position is a nightmare as explained below
camera pointing at [enemy ship] tracking [my own ship] behind it
this enables me to manually pilot (spiral) away by clicking in space
Accidentally getting the camera into a useless position is easy
Now if I want to manually pilot away its a huge problem
I hit look at [enemy ship]
ok great but the camera is tracking nothing and being useless/pointless
now I have to zoom out and generally just hunt around for those small brackets around my own ship
ok i found my own ship in space huzzah!
ok now I have to click on it
wow that was frustrating
ok great now I can manually pilot/spiral away
Opps I accidentally clicked wrong
Now the camera isn't tracking my own ship
Back to hunting for my own ships brackets in space
Found it again
Ok now I have to click on it
Dam this is hard work
Ok now I can manually pilot away again
But by now I'm feeling like the eve UI is utter rubbish and makes playing the game a nightmare
If none gets this maybe we can arrange a TS session with a in-game demonstration ? |

At the very least we should probably make it easier to track yourself while looking at another ship. Was it easier to perform this action in the old camera? Exactly how is that done?

Sorry I don't quite follow, please feel free to elaborate. Idame Isqua wrote:Look at how the show info box works
If I want to orbit something I can click orbit on that
But I cant use my keyboard shortcut... without clicking on something...
what? why? This sounds like a defect, we will look into it. Thanks! o7 CCP Turtlepower
Whoops forgot to quote your reply in my reply above

The FPS drop massively although nothing on grid. Mostly when flying through a lot of Systems and taking a lot of Gates.
With a fast Deactivation / Re-Activation of the Overlay the Frame is up again.
3 other of my Friends also have this issue, i don-Št know if it is already known and just wanted to mention it so you can peek an eye on it maybe.
Also, PLEASE an Option to Deactivate those Blue Dots around my HUD, but still be able to see all my 400 Tacticals on Grid in one System...this Blue Dots also drain a lot of FPS / CPU cause Eve tries to re-Calculate the 360Degree Postion around the Hud, while i pan the camera around.
At the moment i just can deactivate the Sensor Overlay and everything dissapears, on Grid and around the Hud. There should be an option to deactivate it seperatly. (like a small checkmark in the Sensor Overlay Option - Dots around Hud- y/n)
Thank you.
Excellent spotting sir quoting so Devs don't miss it
I would like to add confirmation that this is indeed real
But not being able to turn off the useless (unless when can filter it) 360 thing is game braking
It's also inline with the performance hit/benefit related to having the people and places window open
Strangely enough I havn't noticed any issues with the new system map (possibly because we can filter it)
And on that note the 360 dial has been surpassed in function by the new floating system map thing (which works great)
So maybe its time to retire or at least allow us to filter the 360 radial
Also note this is no excuse for not allowing me to click on things in the new probe scan window, and my camera (auto)tracking/looking at it.
As last time I checked you STILL haven't added a feature the OLD system had that was vital into the NEW system you want to replace the OLD system with
It's little things like this that make or break whether or not people login and play for awhile
Recently the game would lock up (and windows would tell me it had crashed) when I was making contracts, but that seems to have been fixed.
An issue I've always had with eve is after shooting NPC's for a long time
The FPS monitor starts showing two levels of FPS alternating
But what Is actually happening is the game is pausing
I feel like it's in time with server ticks
Probably a reason why I don't do PvE in eve |

Derp I missed your previous post because I'm terrible at eve.
Now I know how to actually use the UI thanks to you and other posters.
I'm very happy with the humongous improvements that have been made recently |
