1) graphix performance was fine for me (barring the hair issues, which went away if you turned off physically simulated hair and cloth) ran at an an average 23fps for most of the time (2560x1024 max settings and AA on 8xQ) although it dropped to a 17 average after using NCC for some strange reason. so 4/5 for that.
2) overall performance, barring the things I bug reported/ are known issues it all pretty much ran fine, took a while to load the station environment on login but once loaded it was ok. couldn't test dock/undock as that was broken. again 4/5
3) I still want this to be optional, I see no reason why I would get out my pod every time I docked in a station. I know this is the way you plan to do it and I am one of many who want for a host of reasons to have the option to stay in ships with a regular/improved hanger view. By all means start new players off in incarna and make getting into their pod a big deal. but don't make us decant every time we dock... please.
I have made an entire post about the issue I have spotted with the NCC and portrait creation in the 'test server feedback section' (don't ask me why I would post issues about the test server in the test server feedback thread it must just be a little quirk I have... no actually you have rules about it... huh so this thread is in 'general discussion' because? ;-p ) link here thread
Lighting still needs some work but much better than first iteration. The UI still needs to do things in situ rather than open up old UI windows or there is no point. Plus if I have to use the old UI in station I am never going to see the station under all my windows (it looks nice and clean in my BR screen-shots 'cos I killed most of them for testing, I won't do that on TQ)
Overall I am looking forward to ambulation, and this is definitely a step up from the last patch, the devblog was very good in detailing where you are and where your going, answering a lot of questions I would have had before I even logged in. And the guys from ccp online while I was testing were very helpful. I still have to stress however that if this is not optional on docking its going to really irritate, and if the ambulation UI (aUI ?) doesn't allow me to do everything I need to do in station without loading all the old UI (oUI ?) windows, it's not going to matter how good it looks, I am never going to see it. __________________________________________________
