SHIP IMMERSIVE CAMERA

—✦—[ ☠ ]—✦—

A lightweight, versatile camera mod that lets you instantly switch between seven different ship views, from the helm to a wide scenic panorama – with smooth zoom control and per‑preset zoom memory.

—✦—[ ☠ ]—✦—

✦ THE LOOT ✦

V : Cycle through seven carefully placed ship camera presets (Helm → Default → Low Deck Front → Hold Hatch → Crow Nest → Port Side → Cinematic Follow)

Page Up / Page Down : Zoom in / out smoothly on every preset, with separate speeds for zooming in and out – your zoom is saved automatically per preset.

Z : Gently returns your zoom to the default FOV of the current view (ignores per‑preset memory).

Per‑preset FOV limits : stops the panorama from stretching, and lets you zoom further on the helm.

Per‑preset zoom memory : every preset remembers its own zoom level. Change it once – it’s restored automatically whenever you return.

Persistent preset selection : your last used view survives game restarts.

Fully customizable : adjust camera positions, rotation, zoom limits, zoom step sizes, smoothing, movement feel, and roll/pitch follow inside main.lua.

Designed to work alongside the Camera Toggle System – same keys, no technical conflicts. You can easily change them in either mod’s script if you prefer separate buttons.

Read README.txt for the full list of settings.
