I set space to 85 last nice omg love it! I don't accidentally zoom into my ship anymore when doing space battle.

@Sthiss it can vary a lot for people. In short it is how much you can see. How wide your view is. Although usually less important in 3rd person games it can be a killer for some people in FPS type games as it can cause severe headaches and eye problems.

TotalBiscuit is a major proponent of FoV options in games as he finds narrow FoV too painful to actually play. Any of his videos about FPS/3rd Person games will usually mention it.

A clear benefit I could see currently would be chasing the Q's around the Academy etc. You would see if they spawn off to your side better with a wider FoV.
Most console FPS have a FoV restricted to around 65. Most good FPS should be around 90.

Gave this a go last night with a space FOV of 20. It's quite a dramatic difference, pretty cinematic looking. You can properly scrape the hull of your ship with the camera. Using it in combat is... interesting... those Borg cubes look *enormous*.

ok. never mind then.

So, I looked at the reddit post, especially the screenshots of the ships parked just outside ESD. I'm not currently at home to check it out ingame, but it doesn't appear to do anything except change the zoom level? Perhaps I just don't understand the difference between the two? My playstyle usually is zoomed out as far as possible so my dreadnought/carrier style huge ships look as small as possible. What's the benefit of changing my field of view?

Now that I've played with it, interior and ground 55 just doesn't really feel like it used to. Default wise.

Yeah, even Scalia wouldn't be stupid enough to not put that genie back in the bottle and throw it into the sun. Thomas would be, though.

Someone's pushing for one in AZ, too. When I first moved there in 1998, AZ had a very live and let live attitude and reputation. Since then, though, the Mormons have been trying to exert more influence.

Even if this passes, it will not survive federal judicial review.

"In Kansas, they are voting to decide if we count as people enough to have all of our basic rights respected. There is a bill out, you can read it here, that is so disturbing as to be vomit inducing.

It is saying, literally, if you claim religious beliefs, you can fire someone for being gay. You can retract their loans.

It's saying that not only do you not have any legal recourse, but if you try to bring them to court you have to pay for their legal fees.

As per my conversation with El in game last night, I've come up with a schedule to help whoever's interested with their map completion advances. Here's the link.

I chose one map for each Wednesday and Saturday until the end of May, so we'll be doing two maps each week. Until March 14 - when my classes restart- I can squeeze in as many days as we find necessary, I just don't know if there will be too many people interested during workdays.

I know Pers runs dungeons on Mondays, but since there are many members who still need to work on ascended trinkets and also on their Fractals levels, I can take another day to run them through levels 1-9, or even run those at the same Monday Pers runs hers, only with a group who needs the lower levels.

Let me know what you think.

Cool! Waiting for maintenance to be over and I will be trying this out. Thanks for posting!

Just remember the default value is 55 if you mess it up redo the command with 55 and you will be back to normal

pretty interesting.. im going to try that out... hope i can get it back to normal if i dont like it :P

Over on Reddit's STO subreddit, UI Design Dev ThomastheCat has revealed some very interesting graphic settings for STO, which can be changed via chat commands.

These settings will alter STO's field of view, allowing you to make the game look a lot more cineastic. Especially in space objects like ESD, planets and ships will look more realistic and not like the small toy ships they are. A true change of perspective, which might enhance your enjoyment of STO.

The commands in question:

/setregionfov

can be one of the following:

CharacterCreator
Ground
Indoor
None
PvP
SectorSpace
Space
SystemMap

is 55 by default and can reach from around 20 to 80.

Examples:
/setregionfov ground 75
/setregionfov interior 75
/setregionfov space 25

A recommended setting for space is 25. Your ship will appear closer to the camera, objects in the background appear much larger - including planets! The effect is especially amazing in the Dyson Sphere Space Zones!

On ground/interior, a setting of 25 results in characters appearances sticking out much more. This setting works beautifully on smaller interiors (ESD docking bay, Defiant Interior, Q'noS). However, the lack of scale on many interiors will extremely stick out - many objects, ceilings, etc. are way too big and characters appear very tiny. Another option on ground/interior is 60 - 75, which will result in some kind of 'fish eye view'. This effect gives you a better overview of all the surroundings and is similar to games like Mass Effect.

The original post by Thomas:Changing your Field of View
The article contains some more details and even some other screenshot commands. It also contains some image examples. However, these images don't do the effect justice! Try it out ingame and be amazed, especially in space!

Including video attachments! No but really, this is a wonderful idea!

So is there going to be any kind of workshop for ESO? How would they make that work?

I finally got my beta code. Be happy to be a guild leader if it goes live

Awesome idea. Thanks for doing this guys!

sounds fun!!!!!! :evil:
