Camera!
I again tried a new camera. I did not notice much change since last update.
With the new camera still ship is often hidden behind channel or scan windows. Now zoom is not responsive even with dynamic fov and center offset turned off. And changing camera inertia does not help. Before Citadel release without Dynamic center offset zoom was much responsive with new camera.
Screenshots where the ship wants to get away from the screen. Can make 1000 similar screenshots.

The reason is simple. The old camera was written in old code, and camera movement has been written about our ship.
The new camera is written with new cool code but all camera movement registered regarding some imaginary point somewhere in space or relative to tracking object. And when the distance from the ship to this point is great, it will always be situations when the ship will be hidden by the window or even disappear from screen.
Do the guys who invented a new camera, never worked with 3D modeling/CAD/CAE software?
We can turn off Dynamic center offset but we can not set custom tracking position and if dynamic center offset disabled, targets is always hide behind ship.
I think that for new camera will be difficult to make custom tracking position, but maybe I'm wrong and developers will surprise me.
And still my eyes do not get tired only when Dynamic Center Offset is disabled.
The new camera is not so good as the old.
I turned off new camera and get some bugs.
1. After the jump, or after closing map or solar system map old camera get stuck with far zoom and far pivot point.
This bug only appears when the old camera used.

my stratios in right bottom corner near overview window and this max zoom level after jump
2. Autotracking resets after each login for old and new cameras. After each login I need to press Shift+C to turn on autotracking. And Autotracking can be enable only with new camera.

Another annoying thing that I noticed while testing new camera.
When I want to manually turn the camera, the camera first centered and only then begins to rotate.
Again, excessive waste of time. The camera should rotate immediately without intermediate centering.
Start position from which I want to rotate the camera to my ship is not hiding behind the dashboard or channel window
Intermediate position after which the camera begins to rotate in the right direction.
Old camera still broken and new camera is unusable and EVE is unplayable
We need some Adblock Plus for Hangar Ad's. New hangar too light. The previous hangar in the gothic style was better.

March Release and Citadel Expansion should be combined by name Annoying Expansion.
My top list awesome but annoying improvements:
- Don DoDon DoDon - the best decision for 4 years that I play EVE. Thank the gods of Patapons it was removed.
- Slow Red-White target flashing after destruction - "improved" to fast Red flashing but still annoying
- Hangar Ad's - each time flying into the hangar I need to lower the camera down
- 900K fee for each clone jump
- Scope video in Captain headquaters
- Enabling "Try new camera" after each update
- Reordering RMB menu
I have not forgotten anything?
Another thing that I really do not like is Weapon Accuracy Score.
As an engineer, I like real values. For me rad/s + signature radius is much better than casual WAS
In overview we have angular velocity and controlling the ship manually, we can always adjust at least the angular velocity to tracking speed and reduce the influence of at least one variable in the equation.
And it does not require any conversion of values. WAS is a shi...
We do not discuss game design, we discuss why you do not want to take our money.
