Please listen to the comments in this thread and remove this docking/undocking animation or allow us to disable it. It is not just very annoying and unnecessary, it is making some people feel physically sick, I among them. Seriously, this is quite a major issue. People feel they are being forced to endure something just because the developers are stubborn.
Good things -
The wallet funds indicator popups. Nice useful feature imo. The tactical overview direction and speed arrows. Very nice to be able to see at a glance what ships are doing, this adds a lot to the tac overview.
Other bad additions -
The 'x amount added to next bounty' popup after killing rat. No need for this, just adds unnecessary info clogging up the screen. It's already easy to tell how much you're getting for the rat bounty, it's right there in targeting. Compare to the wallet popup.

Until this fix for the unbroken is removed maybe we should put our heads together and come up with workarounds. So far I've been trying -
a) not docking b) not logging in
A is hard to sustain. B works but, you know, I like to play this game.. |

After 10 pages of 'zomg please kill that docking animation with fire right now', there have been two dev posts -
1) No, we're not adding options to the options menu because that makes things 'complex'
2) A response to one of the 0.1% of posts not dealing the the docking animation.
Pretty disappointing tbh. |

A different team than mine is responsible for the docking animation, and despite that they haven't posted here, they are reading all of the feedback.
CCP Darwin, I'm not trying to get on anyone's case, but to me it seems pretty clear why the docking/undocking feature is bothering people, and was at the time you posted in the thread. It is really interfering with my enjoyment of the game, and has the same effect on many others it seems. I was just frustrated that nobody seemed to be bothered responding to the main issue raised in the thread - like asking for feedback and then ignoring it, I get enough of that in my RL job
Having a toggle would be just a workaround really, if there was one then there would never be a reason to turn it back on. A real fix it just to remove it and revert back to the unbroken way it was. As long as there is some way to avoid it though I'll be happy enough.
Thanks o/ |

Can we please get a hotfix yesterday to remove/disable the docking/undocking camera changes? I would like to play EVE without having to look out the window or face the opposite wall every time I dock or change ships. I generally try not to post repeatedly in threads, but I feel strongly about this and hope the CCP team can listen to their players and do the right thing.
Thanks. |

For those who haven't realized yet, enabling Captain's Quarters is a decent temporary workaround for the docking animation. It bypasses the animation and you can watch a loading screen and laggy third person area instead. It may be annoying, slow, superfluous junk, but at least it won't make you sick. Even though mentioned several times in this thread, I only just tried it now, as I had placed Captain's Quarters in the 'Does not exist' section of my brain.
Undocking animation remains a problem. |

It seems to be against design policy to implement toggles, except in those cases that it's not. |

I realize that, I'm just pulling your chain, perhaps that doesn't come through well. The main point is I'd like a response about the camera issue. |

Well thanks a lot for sharing what you know, that makes a difference. At least we now know that the comments are not simply being ignored. It's a shame a representative from the team itself couldn't have come on with something like 'We hear you guys, and are considering options'. Fingers crossed. |

Once you switch to the hanger everything functions normally... Not only did the docking animation addition break my eyes it also appears to have broken other #*^$ too.
Yes, this is broken for me too. |

That's true. Those who feel strongly about an issue are more likely to post, especially strongly and negatively. It's a widely known problem.
However, if the reaction is strong in one direction, this also attracts contrarians/trolls to devil's advocate for sport. Except in cases where the issue is so black and white that it's hard to be taken seriously if you do, such as this one. I'm worried about the possibility of CCP deluding themselves into thinking that there is some 'silent majority' that is happy with the changes. |

You cannot assume that the responses on this forum are representative of the playerbase as a whole. It doesn't work that way.
I never said it was, I think you missed the point of the post. |

I'm still using Captain's Quarters until they unbreak the docking/undocking camera, which is far from ideal since CQ sucks, but is much better than dealing with docking cam. No way round undocking cam until toggle. Please prioritize this CCP, it's irritating the hell out of a lot of people. |

Thanks for this, goodbye captain's quarters. Hey, I'm kind of getting used to that now, maybe it's not so bad apart from load times . |
