Have the camera return to its previous orientation upon exiting build or strategy view


Maoman

Suggestion

When you enter building mode, the camera defaults to aiming diagonally left and back. When you exit build mode, the direction your camera is currently facing remains the same back out in normal view. So if you accidentally open build mode and immediately close it, your ship starts spinning around away from whatever you were pointing at, potentially causing problems if you're mid-combat.... you have to intentionally remember for yourself to toggle freelook before entering build mode, or to point the camera forward again before you exit build mode, if you don't want to mess with your aim and make your ship spin around like an idiot.

There's a similar problem with strategic view: when you enter strategic view, the camera zooms way out and up, then turns to look diagonally down at your ship. However when you exit strategic view, the camera just zooms straight in at your ship without turning, so your ship immediately noses down and you have to look back up every single time (you can even rapidly toggle strategic view on and off to spin in a forwards loop).

These are ESPECIALLY annoying if you are using smooth camera because you can't quickly snap the camera back around to your previous direction, so your ship turns almost all the way around before you move the camera far enough to start turning back forward again.

Exiting Build and Strategy mode has been fixed now, much appreciated!

However inside Build mode, the camera still centers on the ship at a fixed angle when exiting Turret Design mode, instead of the place and orientation you were at when entering Turret Design mode. I hope this was just an oversight and can now be a simple thing to fix, too.
