Smoother Camera Movement

(more ideas just to throw them out there)


* Request for the transition to 3-D mode NOT to change the camera position. (i.e. if I'm looking down on a ship and hit 3-D mode button, let me continue to look down on that ship) I'd like to make my camera work smooth; this current behavior jerks it around a bit.


* Request for smooth camera movement in general. At a distance from the focal point, movement of the camera appears jerky (i.e. noticeable "jumps" of the picture). 

* Adjustable (on the fly) camera speed multiplier. As I'm rotating the camera, I'd like to be able to on the fly adjust the speed/mouse sensitivity so that I can make smoother transitions from points of view.

actually when switching from top down mode to 3d mode centres the view on the nearest ship to the centre of the screen when u were looking top down. so if u had a ship at the centre of the screen when looking down, it will be the ship focussed on when switching to 3d.

That one is probably your computer not quite being able to run smoothly with that much on screen. This mod is rather high poly for the engine, after all.
