That response made my day. Hopefully that means it will be possible to zoom all the way onto a Dominix without the texture getting fuzzy.
Many thanks to Vin and CCP Soundwave.
While the amount of unanswered questions and "don't know" answers was unfortunate, I'd much rather CCP say honestly that they have no plans to do something, or that they plan to do something I might disagree with, than for them to remain silent.

CCP did say in the past that they were considering a "replacement" for the old hangar view as a substitute for the door.
However, CCP Soundwave has merely confirmed CCP's previous position that Incarna will be an integral part of EVE, and that it will not remain optional indefinitely. At this point, nothing anyone says will change their mind. So CCP may have decided to not allocate any resources towards developing a new hangar view, since that hangar view will be disabled anyway in a few months at most. I do not think that pushing Incarna onto the players in its current state is a good idea. Much as CCP did not make the Trinity graphics mandatory for a long time, it should not make Incarna and its excessively resource-intensive graphics mandatory for at least a year, and perhaps longer. It's not like Incarna will contain any meaningful or essential gameplay in the foreseeable future.
That said, if Captain's Quarters is made non-optional in its current state, I will cancel my subscription. That is not a threat, it is a fact; CCP won't miss my $14 per month, so a threat would be pointless. But my computer cannot run the current version of Incarna without overheating at virtually any reasonable settings, and I would no more run Incarna on it regularly than I would run Metro 2033. To the trolls: No, I can't shove a pair of fans inside a laptop, and no, I do not have $500 to spend on a desktop just to play EVE.
