TL;DR

Make the screen not wobble with the Spidertron. It's really annoying.

What ?

When you walk while in the Spidertron and stop it wobbles from inertia. The screen wobbles with it. Please make the screen stop wobbling with the Spidertron.

Why ?

It's really annoying when you are building electric poles or any buildings you want in a straight line. You inevitably end up placing things crooked and have to fix it.

Maybe the game needs a "Spidertron stabilization module" that can go in the Spidertron's equipment grid, akin to the belt immunity module.

I like this idea. A Spidertron gyro, or accelerometer.
Kind of like in Mechwarrior two, if your mechs gyros were destroyed in that game your aim wobbled with every step.

Just, don't stop the wobble the Spidertron does, it makes it feel more real. The module should just stabilize your screen. Thematically; the Spidertron control interface compensates for the wobble rather than removing it.

I like that, AlveKatt.

Thank you! Almost didn't see your comment, why isn't there an option to autosubscribe to all threads you start yourself? I even took for granted that was default behaviour.

There is. Click your user name on the top right, then User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit Posting Defaults > Notify me upon replies by default
Also, check your notification settings in Edit notification options

@durr: Seems this did. go wrong?!

Yes, please remove the wobble. It's making me sea sick. I'd like to use spidertron more, but I can't with that wobble .

Can you please remove wobbling?

I have a problem with it as well as I seem to be more sensitive to movement then most people.

Having the entire viewscreen "jiggle around" is headache inducing. I keep jumping out of the spider to do things because I can't handle the time it takes to "come to a complete wobble stop" when I take my fingers off the movement keys.
