Not only that, but in your view of "fixing a camera", that means that all you do is re-position the source point to the front of the dropship so we can sort of look downwards but still not really, and the camera swings violently when you try to aim at things. And with this camera now in the front, if you try to look at your back, the entire camera is taken up by the back of the dropship and you can't see anything.

I'm pathetic? For what exactly? Letting CCP know that the Camera is a half-assed attempt to make dropships better when in reality it was worse than the camera they originally had?

Please understand that he is talking about 3rd person. Half of my flying was seeing where my engines were pointed and my angle of attack. I can no longer see either of these making flying very difficult. Further more it makes it much harder to actually see forge or rail tanks, we can no longer see very well around our dropships and since we have to turn the whole dropship in order to see anything further decreasing our field of view makes us less effective. Assault dropships aren't cheap.

Serimos is a veteran pilot, one of the best I've seen. If he is this passionate about this change its for good reason and you might give him a little credit. Normally I'm all for adapt over come survive, though this change makes flying the dropship a huge chore and forcing veteran pilots like me and serimos to completely relearn how to fly. If they had kept the camera the same I would be adapting. Going back to flight school after months of getting good at flying is very painful, especially because we know we won't be nearly as effective as we were with the other camera view. That hurts a lot......

That's fine. I'd written something pretty rude to you thinking you honestly considered this camera change to be an item for people to "Adapt" to. Then after some consideration assumed you either had to have no clue what you were talking about or were just a terrible troll.


Thanks for coming around. This camera change really eliminated so many things we used to be able to do.
Even flying in a squad of 6 dropships for fun, feeding forge gunners ISK, now none of us could do that because we'd all be smashing into each other with no field of vision. Essentially now we have two versions of first person and no third.

Same problem affects interior flying and I really don't think this helped our front aiming either
