Firstly, the expansion name. "Incarna" should have been reserved for the full multiplayer in-station experience. I don't believe that will happen before the next release and the name has built expectations too high. I'm eager for what WIS is going to be, but at this stage, the Minmatar CQ doesn't justify the name.
NEX. At least CCP listened when we said we didn't want MICROtransations . Range of avatar goods needs to be about 10-100x what you currently have to make it work beyond the immediate-term, and that is assuming reasonable pricing. Add a filter for "show only items I can use".
Turrets: Wow. Especially the transferrence of hull colour. A few oddities, like multi-barrelled models on non-multi guns (heavy beam laser, 1400s etc); or how they only retract in warp (rather than with no locked targets), but overall, excellent.
Icons for hybrids/projectiles and salvagers/tractors/mining lasers could do with a bit more light (lasers icons are fine).
ship spinning. give us the ability to expand the fitting window viewer so that ship spinning with turrets can come back.
agent finder: Haven't played around with this yet so can't comment. Will re-enable CQ when I want a new agent and try it then.
Captain's Quarters. Great start. needs more functionality though: customisable screens being the biggest draw to CQ that there could ever be prior to multiplayer. I've disabled CQ because of the lack of extra utility- PI screen would only get used once a day, corp screen about once a month (if that). Never mind the fact that my card gets sooo much noisier as the fans wind up. (still get 60fps capped, but I should- GTX570).
Character lighting is poor- increase reflection from floor/walls at the very least. Drag&drop for ships needs to return.
Menu options while in station need to be renamed- "Leave ship" should be something like "Make capsule active". This is a pure text change, but judging by how a lot of missions still start in the middle of conversations (since the conversation change in 2009? Apocrypha?), it will be a while before it gets updated.
