Other's have said it already and maybe if enough of us continue to do so some sanity will prevail at CCP:
In a word, Incarna sucks.
You have destroyed client performance (while docked) with this patch. I would much rather look at a static ship than at a character who can't avoid furniture, bounces off the walls and walks around looking like he failed to make it into WoW.
Please give us the ability to completely ignore this Incarnation of poor performance and unnecessary functionality. Give us a check box that would allow us to simply stay in our ships, as we have always done. What you have created is a step backwards, and a very costly step at that.
In addition to being particularly useless, your Incarna causes yet another delay in docking while it "loads". The obvious work around is to uncheck the check box for "load station environment". It would be very good if that at least simply left us looking at a static ship. Instead, we wind up looking at a static, boring wall. However, dock time is almost zero when you uncheck that box - and the use of our time is really what Eve is all about.
If I want to go walk about, there are plenty of other MMOs out there for that.
I do realize that CCP's primary interest in Incarna is actually real world money: that's obviously why the so called Nobel Exchange uses a new currency that can only be obtained for Plex ... it is a new revenue stream. I might be willing to help CCP's cash flow if I got something in return. However, it is hardly "nobel" to make me pay for poor performance and features that really are quite pointless.
So, shame on you CCP for doing this to a loyal community - the community who, after all, ultimately foot the bill. Every other patch I've experienced has had something delightful at its core. This one does not. On a scale from 1 to 10, this patch, thanks for Incarna, is somewhere below 0 ... so far below that I can't even begin to enumerate it.
So, CCP Fallout, CCP Zulu, CCP Navigator, etc. - how about you give us the ability to turn this off and return to our ships? You can continue to play with this and we'll watch from the comfort of our ships. Maybe one day you'll have something worth our coming out of their hulls. That day is clearly not today.
On the other hand, you could also put the resources to work on bug fixes and on far more interesting updates/extensions that would be core to what makes Eve really Eve. Now, if you are looking for suggestions, the CSM has a list ...
