So totally random question just out of general curiosity, what camera perspective do you play EVE in? Orbit? Tactical? Zoomed in? Zoomed out? First Person *shudder*? Or a mix of each depending on the situation? |

That's an awfully personal question that I don't really feel too comfortable answering.
Okay, okay...just don't laugh...
Orbit. Zoomed in.

Depends, big fight's zoomed out. Small brawls (most of the time) up close.

Depends but often zoomed in since I really like the look of the ships in EVE. For some combat situations I'd imagine it's more practical to be zoomed out for a better view.
I will NEVER use first person though, it's probabvly nice for some people but not for me. |

I have used the first person camera before. On a 500mn Talos ploughing through a massive ball of skiffs.

for general stuff (99% of the time) it's the Orbit Camera, usually zoomed way out.
For big fights, the Tactical camera can be useful to figure out what's going on.
First Person view is great for lining up bumps. It takes some practice.

I change it all the time, it's a wild mix depending on mood and situation. Sometimes I even like to look at enemy rats, especially with the new graphic upgrades showing them slowly crumbling into a burning mess before exploding.
First person is nice sometimes too, I sometimes use it for frigates. Makes you feel like you're flying a space fighter.

I don't think that's what they mean when they see to be the bowling ball, Ralph.

I change between orbit and tactical with overlay on or off mostly. Depends on if I want to pay attention to other people more or less in a situation really. I have only accidentally changed to first person mode once.
I have played Eve zoomed out for years now. The ships could be bricks for all I care or just their hitboxes. If I want a good screenshot or to look at a ship once or twice when they come out I will but then its back to normal view. SA is more important than "pretty" lights and colors.... yeah pretty useless!!
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.

Suddenly I have this image of a killer whale, covered in treacle, on a skateboard, rolling down hill in the middle of London.

tactical view when i set up orbit for my mining alt in belt.
Then: 90% of screen is covered by browser (chrome) and 10% is dedicated to overview+local+intel channels

Rather depends for me.
Orbit and up close if:
- The ship looks cool
- Mining
- Mission is a cake walk
- Transporting in HS
Orbit and away if:
- Ugly Ship
- Mining
- Transporting out of HS
Tactical if:
- I need to keep track of a bunch of reds.
- I want to think I'm cool looking at data I don't actually use.
D-Scan window covers everything if:
- Away from my comfort zone
