"Follow Target" is the default cam.

It's annoying as it will swing your view around when you get too close to something like an asteroid and suddenly you are looking behind your ship?

I much prefer "Free Camera" mode.
If your post is anything like, "I have a sandwich so you can't be starving" it's time to rethink posting.

Prob low on the lists of fixes.
Typical response by a "Cryptic defender". Blame it on the players hardware, and not on the broken SOFTware. These issues weren't present pre-Season 6, so obviously Cryptic broke something in Season 6, and have yet to resolve it.

Fine, this is a very minor bug to you, but to the 30% it is completely unplayable.

Imagine for a second if it forced you to use chase cam (which you also hate with a passion) by switching itself to it every 30-60 seconds, would you be pleased? Would you even still be here one month later?

The worst part of this is there is already a fix as reported by a dev here, but for some stupid reason it is not being deployed.
I don't hate chase camera. I simply choose not to use it. Either way, it's still a minor bug. An inconvenience. Not something that breaks the game.

Cryptic, People are getting sick of this crap, there are numerous problems that have been pointed out since your last fail of a patch note release, it has been nearly 3 weeks since ur botched tailor, yet your ignoring them for a dying colonist timer?

People are screaming at you and yet you still continue to play ignorant and not acknowledge the problem.

People are now beginging to cease screaming and walk away as they are now properly fed up.

It's sad to see this from a company that listened bak then to now, when you shun your fans.

all i can say is Meh good luck repairing your faith with fanbase now.

They did not fix the most glaring problem in Colony Invasion - the fact that you beam up the diplomats while taking dmg or the diplomat moving you LOSE the bonus!

In all parts of the game you cannot interact with anything while taking damage - or if you start interacting and then start taking damage the interaction stops until the damage stops - but not with the diplomats - this is a bug that costs as much lost points as the dying colonists!!

It is not at all minor. The people that it effects can't play.


A combadge or tailor graphical glitch (you can still play the game), or a single mission bug (pick another mission and come back to it) is minor.

Something that stops people being able to play is as major as it gets, even if it is only affecting 30% of players - that's 30% of your playerbase that can't enjoy any space mission in the whole game!

Now add to this the fact that any team I (or any other of that 30%) am in is affected by each 30 seconds I am going through menus instead of helping and that 30% suddently becomes much higher. You too have been greatly affected by this bug without even knowing it.

the free cam follow cam is just an annoying bug it isnt game breaking and effects ONLY space. go play ground missions if your game is broken you cant play space because you CAN still play. btw it does effect me I find it annoying I just keep firing and kill the target then fix the cam and it has to do with your mouse clicking the screen and not a button. it is a deselect select target thing.

Good news about the tailor fix, but I'm disappointed that the TOS Bridge and Interior are getting taken offline (even though it's temporary).

One reason I was really wanting the Foundry to come back up was because the mission I've got planned involves those set pieces. hehe

But here's hoping they can resolve the crashing issue soon!
