The mechanics for a grander scale are already in place. I use them when doing fraps or taking screenshots. The issue is that they cannot be set in a permanent mode. Current location I am at, I cannot open the photobucket to grab the links of screenies I have taken, but I know what you mean.
What I am refering to, try as follows. There are advanced camera controls in the option menu, want to turn them on I believe. Then what you can do in combat or whatever is change the level of zoom and reduction of size of things based on distance, or the level of reduction you get of the background objects.
Advanced camera controls overview
Right button hold: We all know that this is your pitch and pivot of camera
Right held then left button, allows zoom by moving mouse.
Ctrl+right button: I cannot remember top of head actually. I use these controls so often...
THE BIG ONE
Ctrl+right held then press hold left button.
I hope that is right, again I just do these controls from habit since I have been using them so long. Sliding mouse left and right affects "depth" is the best way to describe it. Slight adjustments to this makes battles feel bigger first off since surrounding ships feel more to your size and closer. If you are a frigate, battleships are huge and capitals are... well head to luminaire and try it out. I do it quite frequently for my screenshots since it makes ships and battles feel so much grander. Speed feels faster. Later if this thread is still front page, I will grab some of them and link for example.
Disadvantage: Camera resets affect this.
CCP: Can we get it so this is in the esc menu as a fixed slider so it doesn't keep undoing while maintaniing the current on the fly ability to set? It really does make eve awesome, it changes the whole feel of the game immensely! In fact, I might later put a new thread in the Features and Idea to suggest this.
For those that cannot wait, head to "photobucket.com" and search user "kwkiller". There I have an eve online album where I put the best of my screenies for sharing. Just reached 200. The best to show perspective is look of a recent one with a damnation flying amongst a hellcat fleet. Green nebula background really shows it off! Another good one is a rokh firing taken during a mass test. They show off the best this effect. |
