I just got the game, I bought a Scyk that I could actually customize and such I launch into space and start a mission. As I was flying my camera was somehow messed up and I just tumbled over and over and flipped around in space looking behind my ship. I fixed this by holding down the Insert key and turning it back to the normal view, I figured, good...fixed.


Then when I got into combat I got hit and the camera automatically locked onto my enemy and started flipping me around again pointlessly in space as I was pounded in my brand new ship I tried the insert key again but it wouldn't let me do it and automatically turned me back to the normal view. I had to Alt-Ctrl-Delete and close the program to exit the game, seeing as it'd be pointless to try to fly backwards to a space port while being smashed by 50 enemies.

I think num lock toggels this camera lock on and off... check under ctrl-o

Thanks for the quick replies. It was really frustrating when it happened, I had no idea what was happening. I appreciate the help and will try it when the server is back up.

if i remember correct if you hit 5 on the number pad it reorients your camera to behind your ship. The number lock locking the camera is new to me also however... Just found out :-P
