Camera constantly sliding about

from Sins Forums
Is this normal?

Every now and then my camera decides to slide about as if its following a random ship or strikecraft, and I'm constantly forced to strafe it back to where I wanted it.

It usually requires 2-3 strafe-pushes in the opposite direction to make it stop moving.

I cant seem to find the setting to disable this behaviour.

Anyone experienced this or have advice?

The behavior you're seeing is designed to make it easier to follow moving objects with zoom-to-cursor. While there's no setting in game for it, it can be changed manually in the camera.setting file, by changing the line zoomToCursorLocksOnMovingEntities TRUE to FALSE. You will find the setting file as below:

Vista:
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting

Please note that some of these directories are hidden by default. To unhide them, go to Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View and set yourself to view hidden files and folders.
