Unknown Submitter> A large number of EVE players do not like to leave their ship every time they dock. Some have computer hardware issues running several clients, some find it extremely immersion breaking and completely against EVE lore, and some would just rather abstain from Incarna alltogether. The return of the old ship hanger or some version of it with a disembark button would make all those people happy. When does CCP plan to do it?
Response> No, we don't have any plans for that. Incarna is essentially an addition that is central to the future of EVE.
So ship spinning is NOT coming back per the CSM "emergency" a$$ kissing festival. They have no intention of doing what they said they would do.
yeah. FU too CCP and your spaceship barbie bull$hit. F*cking liars.

IIRC, they said it would return "in some form". They've always been pretty adamant that the old hangar is gone forever.

I think a line from one of the NeX videos sums this one up perfectly.
"But we promised!" "Of Course We Promised, We are a corporation, our word means ****!"
probably not an exact quote, as i cant dig up the vid right now, but close enough.

When you look at the ship from the hangar balcony you might notice that it is already spinning. The wireframe models on your desk also show you ship spinning.
Whines like from the OP show how bitter and spoiled a good part of the EVE community has become.

My guess is that sometime *soon* we'll be able to spin our ship whilst viewing it from the CQ balcony.
Woopi-doo.
Folks have missed the point that 'ship-spinning' is really a metaphor for the simpler functionality of the old hangar.

CCP have aleady said ship spinning is dead. All we have to do is wait and see what they give us instead.
People should remember that a CCP employee was answering player questions during the AT (I think it was a Dev working on CQ) told us that the rest of the CQs would be here in August and they are not. I don't believe anything CCP say anymore.

I am just enjoying the PvP how it is and I never ever care about CCP's decisions because it's their business. The game isn't frakked up because of new features. The game isn't frakked up because of the bugs. The only fact what will frakk up the game could be that it's full of whiners unsubbing in self pity. But probably this will just clean up the player database. Probably EVE will die. WHO cares? I don't... because it's just a game to me.

O.K., show me where CCP wrote: "We'll promis you that..." Sorry, guys. But you really need a break from this game if you take a game that serious to call the dev a liar because you don't get your candies now. That's my major impression when I walk through the forums.

Go back and read everything that was ever said about Ambulation/WIS/Incarna, and you'll find it. It was always optional riiiight up until just before it was released.

There will be no exodus. Just a major playerbase cleanup to remove kids, nerds and whiners not really playing EVE on a "serious" level because if they would play what the game really offers they don't care about ship spinning or an optional NeX store.

Edited by: Brooks Puuntai on 01/09/2011 11:13:36 This really isn't surprising. They only said they would "look into it" to shut people up. They aren't going to waste resources on a hanger view or ship spinning. It also shouldn't be a surprise that CQ would be optional for long, especially once they released the NeX store. CCP is notorious for breaking promises and failing to deliver.
edit: To all you haters ship spinning was like 50% of this game.

Quite incorrect. It's people who play at a "serious level" that need ship spinning the most, because the CQ gets in the way of actual gameplay.

why would any sane company spend loads of workhours in making an enviroment that will be the source of money income..as in buying clothes to your avatar...and then make it optional so nobody will actually buy anything?
of course they will force it...they must also in someway force you to actually get out of the room also of it will be pointless unless you can compare your avatar to others fancy bling...maybe move some function outside the room so you need to get out.
and according to greed is good this is immersion not the removal of it...buying stuff will make have more fun.

Because those who are going to buy stuff are not going to use the option not to load the environment where it matters and because those who are being forced to use stuff they do not want and have no interest in will make life miserable for those who do want to use it, and will still not buy stuff.
If no-body will actually use it, then the correct choice is to not spend loads of man-hours into making it to begin with. In effect, forcing people only shows that CCP ahs zero confidence in its own product. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

I'm quite sure that that functionality and those lightweight mechanics are still there, i might be wrong though, at least they were there last time i played and that wa.. hm.. well.. yesterday actually... As for CQ, i'm quite certain there's an option in the settings that disables it?
Your whine+arguement is thus rendered invalid, stop hating, if you don't like it, quit and give someone your stuff..
Edit: to your last post
You obviously have not read the CCP Company goal/profile/whatever, they wish to become the supplier of the complete integrated sci-fi experience, they wish to do that through eve and Dust 514, Dust 514 in case you didnt know is the strategic shooter, not unlike battlefield 2/3 i guess, just a different setting, tied in with the EVE Universe, for a proper integration they need walking in stations.
CCP owns the intellectual property rights to anything EVE, they decide what they want to do, i for one is very impressed with their goal as well their progress towards it. So back to my original point, if you dont like it, quit, just stop your moaning.

The station panel is still there with all the little shiney buttons. There is nothing that you can access through the interactive bits of CQ that you can't access from the leftside menu or the right side station panel, all without moving an inch after getting out of your ship. They work just the same as they did before incarna, if the extra bits of code your computer has run for the incarna stuff slows you down that badly you should probably look to an upgrade BEFORE laying it all on CCP. FYI i run 5 accounts, all with CQ activated, granted, my 4 alts have their graphics toned way down, but that's because of my graphics cards being a little out of date, but even so, with the graphics turned down the clients still run as smoothly as ever.

I don't miss ship spinning and I turned it off when I realized that it will just speed up my fan. I just turned off CQ and the door is fine to me because I am 90% of the game in space. The ones who are 90% docked up... well, probably I can understand their pov because the game should be boring when staring at a door while chatting, trading or just beeing scared to undock.

àand that is not the functionality that is lost either. In fact, that little tidbit only furthers the argument that there is absolutely no reason not to bring ye olde hangar back: because there will be no duplication of effort because everything must still work the same way it does before through the same buttons.
Instead, try the following: while in station, doube-click anywhere on your screen ù what happens? Right-click anywhere ù what happens? Drag a ship out of your ship hangar ù what happens? In fact, just look at your screen ù what weapons do you have fitted?
Quote: you should probably look to an upgrade BEFORE laying it all on CCP.
Since it was CCP's choice to remove the functionality for no good reason whatsoever, I don't have to (nor can I) look anywhere before I lay it all on them.

I bought a car from the same garage, but the exhaust fell off, it had an oil leak, and the door seals leaked.
I took it back and demanded they the fix all of the problems, which they agreed to, but they couldn't say when it was going to be done because they were very busy. But they did offer to give the car a respray in the meantime (which I would be charged over the odds for).

What did they change when they launched incarnia nothing except They added CQ it doesn t even break the gamemechanics and actually adds to the game.

Originally by: pussnheels That is uther bull****
It may seem so if you aren't all that familiar with the game.
Quote: What did they change when they launched incarnia nothing except
àthey removed a near instantly loading environment that provided immediate and universal access to all manners of ship systems through a number of very quick and handy shortcuts, as well as a number of visual cues that you otherwise would have to dig through a number of menus to get at.
Instead, they added one CQ that even on its own (and partially because it's all on its own) breaks just about every bit of lore in the game and thus ruins RP immersion; which slows down even the most mundane task; which delivers pretty poor visuals for the amount of horsepower it consumes; which includes a number of glaring design faults and omissions; which was ù previous promises to the contrary ù not meant to be optional; and which completely fails to live up to the vision of Incarna.
Quote: And don t give us the crap. About hardware problems ccp warned us almost a year in advance
Wrong way around: the beta-testers warned CCP almost half a year in advance that there were issues and inefficiencies and that it probably wasn't really ready for prime-time, but they had to push it out the door regardless.
Quote: Secondly ccp said they will in time give players another option than CQ but they never promised the return of shipspinning
Actually, not only did they promise the return of ship spinning ù they promised that it would never go away to begin with, and that is really the root of the problem. The fact that other (far more functional) things got axed alongside it is just icing on the ****cake. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

Really sometimes some of you people are just whinning just because you can
Well I won't argue with you that it adds emersion but it adds emersion as a replacement for gameplay and thats not a good thing. I love my avatar and I would love to walk around my CQ if there was some purpose to it, but frankly given the atrocious docking and undocking lag the best thing that has come out of Incarna is that we can now turn it off which actually made the docking and undocking faster than original ship spinning did allowing you to get back to the actual gaming rather than waiting for screens to load.
I like Incarna and CQ on a strictly conceptual level. The idea is cool. Its fun to be a living person in the gameworld, but the emersion aspect of it gets very irrelevant when you are trying to dock up and change ships real fast and you have to wait an extra 30 seconds to get in and out. A lot of people think the reason they are remove session change stuff is because its been requested for a long time, but actually its simply to make up for the fact that docking and undocking right now is taking in excess of 15-45 seconds depending on the amount of people in a system and the session timer doesn't start until you actually dock which adds another 20 seconds. This proves without any question to me that the "speed" of Incarna will never be improved, it is what it is so they gave us that bone to try to speed things up. As it stands running ops with Incarna on that require a lot of ship switching, docking and undocking is a nightmare and again the only way to fix it is to turn it off.
So ya emersion is great, but whats the point of being emersed in a game that doesn't have anything to do with actually gaming? CQ's was a nice idea conceptually but it just doesn't work. Its slow and since you don't actually need to interact with anything (much faster to use the interface) all that interaction is meaningless. Whats the point of walking for 30 seconds up to my fitting hologram to bring up the fitting screen when you can just click on your interface and get it up that way in a second? Is that part of the gameplay? Walking at a snails pace to a hologram everytime you want to refit your ship?
So ya its not game breaking, but than again it doesn't have anything to do with gaming so in the end it has no point at all. You can bet that the large majority of the players when using Incarna dock up and their avatar just stands their as they work the same old Eve interface we have always had. No one is walking around in the expansion designed to let us walk around, so the whole thin has no point.

Someone please explain to me what is so good abou the ability to spin one's ship and why this pointless behaviour is being missed? Particularly if one wishes to spin it then all one has to do ia to open the Fitting window and spin it there?
I am not bothered about walking in quarters. My character(s) live in a pod and the option to play Butt Plug Ken and Barbie (judging by the way they walk which was clearly modelled on the 1960s Thunderbirds series) has been well and truly turned off.
So, if one wishes to play Walking With Haemorrhoids then one can. If one wishes to spin ships one can. It's all there, folks. Just, please, stop whining.

Ok just to go over it one more time. Ship spinning wasn't about ship spinning. It was about having a interactive station enviroment that didn't require 45 seconds to load when you dock. Incarna is slow, turning it off works but staring at a picture of a door isn't exactly entertaining either. Ship spinning was cool because it was an interesting enviroment that was both emersive and fast. Now our options are abandon emersion by turning of Incarna or use it and be stuck with ridiculous lag and load times. Which prompts me to ask the question, why create an expansion that offers two new ****ty choices?

What you'r forgetting is that the "disable station enviroments" option in the settings menu was from the start mentioned to be TEMPORARY! So i guess your characters will soon be evicted from that cozy pod when CCP decides that the term temporary no longer applies.
Personally any additional timesinks this game gets **** me off royally.

Because it connotes a light-weight station environment that provides a set of functions and shortcuts that have been lost.

Originally by: some other thread Here's a Eurogamer hands-on preview of Incarna from 2008, yes, 2008! Read it, compare to what we've got in 2011, and weep:
- When you dock your ship, you can choose to exit your pod to your captain's quarters. Your large, organic pilot's pod leads to a dressing room for choosing costume options, and a generically curvy and antiseptic space-lounge with open-plan kitchen (and a box of "protein delicacies") and animated news screen. An elevator takes you down to the station itself.
- You'll be able to rent a "socket", buy a bar blueprint and insert it. Set your own restrictions on the clientele, hire NPCs to populate the bar (including dancers), even craft dialogue rules for them to create your own little quasi-missions and adventure storylines. Then sit back and watch the beer money roll in.
- Corporation offices will probably be the true hubs of station activity. They'll be split into two areas, a foyer open to everybody where programmed NPCs spout recruitment slogans and give away stuff, and a meeting room for members.
- On the development agenda, but not promised for the first release, is a shared tactical map, fed by information from scouts, that can be used to organise logistics and battle operations on a macro level. On a micro level, there will be mini-games, including a tactical strategy game played out on hexagonal board ("very good if I say so myself", says Olafsson).

I'd like to apologize beforehand because this is a bit of a rant and I am not on your hate wagon.
Coming from the other games out there, this whole ship spinning sounds a bit ridiculous. Not meaning to insult anyone but from the perspective of someone who's experienced most of what the other mmos have to offer... ship spinning? Really?
EVE has been around for eight years and has been developed non-stop the whole time... how many expansions have you had to pay for? Heck you do not even have to pay a subscription if you farm plex every once in awhile. How many of you are max level? Run out of content yet? I think no on both.
I guess you can just rage quit and go play one of those cookie cutter theme parks and have a character at max level within a few months. Of course you'll be raiding over and over again because that will be the only content left, just so you can get those boots you've been dying for. Oh and don't forget to pay the mandatory subscription for that hamster wheel. Also don't forget to shell out that extra money every year or so for their expansions.
Coming from all those theme parks out there I see most of you take so much for granted. Maybe you should close your subscription and try those other games and then maybe, just maybe you'll realize how silly this ship spinning debacle is.
CCP are not your parents. They are a company. Sure they make mistakes but they also have a lot more riding on the success of this game than you do. This game has thrived for eight years... eight years with no 'credible' end in sight. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they may just know more than me and know what they are doing.
Considering the features this game offers compared to what the rest of the market offers, perhaps a bit more objectivity is needed here. Leave the ol' hate wagon parked on the side of the road and move on.

Originally by: octahexx Charante why would any sane company spend loads of workhours in making an enviroment that will be the source of money income..as in buying clothes to your avatar...and then make it optional so nobody will actually buy anything?
Because those who are going to buy stuff are not going to use the option not to load the environment where it matters and because those who are being forced to use stuff they do not want and have no interest in will make life miserable for those who do want to use it, and will still not buy stuff.
If no-body will actually use it, then the correct choice is to not spend loads of man-hours into making it to begin with. In effect, forcing people only shows that CCP ahs zero confidence in its own product.
Tippia, what you're saying is right on. But, lets not forget there will be those that will use CQ and still want the option to keep it from loading when their motivations are to play the spaceship portion of the game and not the WiS portion of the game. CCP needs to accommodate the ability to just turn it off.
If you're playing docking games are you docking to WiS? No. Docking then becomes a tactic. If you're mining for hours are you wanting WiS everytime you dock? No. You want a quick offload so that you can get back to mining. If you're a trader hauling oodles of items around in a freighter to and from different stations, are you wanting WiS to load every stop? Probably not.
Yet, there will be times that some players will want to WiS. WiS, like any other separate activity in the game is non-integral to every other activity in the game. What CCP wants to do with WiS is essentially making a non-integral activity essential to every activity that depends on station docking even when WiS serves no purpose. That's CCP's mistake. People who dock often to facilitate their other activities aren't going to want to wait 15 - 30 seconds for the session change of docking and now the 15 - 30 seconds for the station environment to load that is WiS. That is just crazy for CCP to expect players to do so everytime they want to dock, quickly do something, undock and go about their business. It will be detrimental to the game. Unfortunately, CCP is going to wait for good players to leave the game before they do anything about it.

Oh, absolutely. That's the category I'm in. I love the concept of Incarna WIS Ambulation as it was presented three years ago, and if they ever get there, I'll be delighted. But I want it to be something I choose to use, because it is not (and should never be) universally required for a good portion of the activities in the game.
I just want it to be like the rest of EVE: yet another bucket/spade in the sandbox that you and I can use to build our game world. I don't need a bucket if all I want to do is dig canals (and undermine the foundation of your sand castle) ù the spade and a water hose is plenty, and forcing me to carry around a useless (for the purpose) bucket just makes the whole thing annoying and makes me want to throw both bucket and bucket manufacturer into the pondà

Eves expansions aren't what I would really call expansions when comparing to other games. They are more content patches then anything. Yes they are free but usually they royally **** up more then they add and usually don't actually add much. Its not a bad thing, but tbh Id rather pay a additional $20 a year to get a good and semi not ****ed up expansion(If they released a expansion like Apocrypha every year I'd pay for it).

So basically the complaint is that CCP is forcing you to use the station environment in which you can just as easily accomplish everything as you could in the hangar environment? Check.
Complaining about losing the ability to right click your ship in hangar when there was already faster and more efficient ways to perform the same functions? Check.
Complaining about losing the ability to spin your ship when it now spins for you automatically or you can spin it in fitting or ship preview? Check.
Complaining about the half a second longer it takes to load CQ as opposed to hangar? Check.
Complaining about nothing much at all? Check.
Complaining about change? Check. Nothing new here.

You seem to be advocating that these consumers are spoiled in some way and instead should be content to sit at the foot of the CCP table, like dogs, waiting for scraps to be thrown to them in return for hard earned cash?

I would imagine that eventually we'll have our ship spinning lightweight functionality interface back to some degree, and perhaps it'll be even better.....eventually.
The problem I see here is that CCP doesn't have the horsepower to put out Incarna funcationality in anything resembling a reasonable timeframe because they've got developers spread over multiple projects. We are gonna be stuck in the middle of them implementing Incarna for years if you consider the timeframes involved and how long they've been "working on it".

I agree with the above poster completely,
Coming from alot of other mmo's and how those companies treat you, CCP is not perfect but better than most and as you said most of those games never get updates and improvements like eve does.
Sadly alot of veterans in eve are jaded, do not realize all they have been given in this game not the least of it being a true sandbox...
Yes I believe we should have a choice between being in pod and WIS but it is not a deal breaker, yes I enjoyed the functionality of docking and clicking instantly being able to access my ship/cargo/fuel bay without pressing the ships icon but once again it is not a deal breaker, the aurum store is a take it or leave it option not a deal breaker..
I have played eve for 4 years or more and even the more painful changes that ccp have brought into the game have in the long run made my life in eve more interesting.
Not my fault if some on here can not adapt to change or prefer to nestle in a pit of negativity.

It is a deal breaker when a clear promise has been broken. I know that 99% of the game is still there, and that Incarna will eventually be forgotten just like the other stepchild features like FW, etc., but I'd just like to have a simple choice not to have to leave my ship when I dock.
Why do you and the other fanboys have to keep whiteknighting CCP over this issue? You don't like choice? You think this will somehow break the game? You're afraid this will make CCP stop developing Incarna? What?? ... Return the Old Hangar Back... for Immersion.

Dunno all the fuss about incarna ,lorewise maybe they needed to change the capsule technology as just a escape pod in case that you ship goes boom. Maybe they should evolve the story a little bit , justifying why the capsulers decided to jump of from the pod to engage socially with other people... A lot of space to develop a decent story to those sort of pilots, making new and old player more attached , instead of simply being in a oval aquarium flying around... doing stuff.

I hope, for your sake that there are hordes of people with extra cash who do want that out there somewhere to replace the core playerbase you seem hellbent on ingoring, alienating and yes - loosing.

Will remaining in the ship always be an option? will disembarking ever be push button simple and not require an undock redock?

Okay.
Okay, let me ask a question. I'll try and word it as clearly as possible to avoid confusion. This is a very, very important question. Please answer it as best you can.
Does CCP have any intentions or plans to implement an interface with similar or identical functionality to the old hanger view?
The functionality I specifically speak of is an interface that is low in resource consumption which lets us see which ship we are currently flying, with a button in the UI which takes us to the captains quarters directly, and which is the first view we see upon entering the station.

No. They don't. Social Networking is directional. Personal Avatars they can sell you cosmetic enhancements for is directional. WIS is directional. Eve is headed for Secondlife in Space.
Has anyone noticed yet that CCP Soundwave, the biggest proponent for all of this WIS/MT tomfoolery is the Head of Flying in Space at CCP??? No One is attending to the actuall spaceship game that is what EVE used to be. EVERYONE at CCP is working as hard and fast as they can to turn it into Facebook Linked, Microtransaction Driven, Avatar Dressing Social Networking.
We'll be lucky if we get to shoot anyone here in 6 months.

screw ship spinning, screw the hanger view and the new cq. when will the functionality be returned, when will the double click for cargo and the drag and drop from ship hanger to swap ships be back? even if its on to the door, i dont care. infact id prefer that to looking at the qc

We appreciate you clearing up what you did not say. Often CCP clearly states what it did not say which could have been avoided with clearly stating what you will do in the first place.
So how about you clearly define what it is you're going to do in regards to the previous function of ship spinning. Just to be clear: The community wants ship spinning not solely for the ability to spin ships. The more important function is a functional station interface less time consuming and hardware consuming (no pun intended) than is CQ. Afterall, loading CQ is time consuming, resource intensive and unnecessary for the purposes of quickly offloading goods or ore or for the purpose of docking games or for any intent on the part of the player to dock in order to facilitate aspects of the game that have nothing to do with WiS.
Can you please clearly state what CCP will implement to meet the above needs?

Use a hotkey (like F9) to open your active ship's cargo, you'll thank me later.
As for viewing what active ship you are in at any given moment, I agree this needs some more content, they should probably introduce a static screenshot that appears on the wall by the door if you have CQ turned off, that shows the ship information window and changes if you change ships, because otherwise, if you have CQ turned on, it is silly to claim you do not know what ship you are in if it is not only floating enormously across the bow of your hangar deck or spinning slowly from a holoreel on your coffee table or behind your character on the interface panel when you first load CQ.

Originally by: CCP Soundwave Just to be clear, I never said you woudln't get ship spinning back, I said there wouldn't be an old hangar view.
It's my impression that "we want ship spinning" is shorthand for "we want a very thin station environment that won't freeze our 5-yr-old computer that works on all other applications as well as the pre-Incarna client."
I could care less about ship spinning per se. I can sit in space and spin my ship view... and I sometimes do. My grandson spins *his* ship as he's slow-boat autopiloting to a gate. That's not what this discussion is about... I think.
I do care very much that I can't load the station environment in under a couple of minutes on the formerly high-end but now a little dated XPS laptop. It works great on LotRO when my grandson seizes the desktop, but I'd rather fly spaceships.

Response> No, we don't have any plans for that. Incarna is essentially an addition that is central to the future of EVE.
So ship spinning is NOT coming back per the CSM "emergency" a$$ kissing festival. They have no intention of doing what they said they would do.
yeah. FU too CCP and your spaceship barbie bull$hit. F*cking liars.

Yea, I seem to remember more people than not on these forums years ago making fun of CCP claiming that CCP was just teasing us with the idea of WiS (aka Ambulation) ever being released, i.e. they wanted it already, and were tired of waiting.
In fact I am certain there was the occasional threadnought now and then every time CCP announced a new delay to WiS after almost every quarter or two, with people lining up to decry the fact that they had to yet again wait for WiS.

It makes sense when :
- I just got podded - I disembarked so I could stretch my legs - I just created a character - I am putting in implants and hardwirings (access to skull needed I assume)
Outside of that, no, leave us in our ships.

Quite incorrect. It's people who play at a "serious level" that need ship spinning the most, because the CQ gets in the way of actual gameplay.
You do understand that ôship spinningö refers to functionality and light-weight mechanics, not to the ability to turn your ship around, right?
i have experienced zero loss of functionality and zero inconvenience from the CQ. maybe you're just a whiny *****.

Typical CCP implementation follows:

That's not a mount, it's a Minmatar with two empty halves of coconuts and he's banging them together! CCP: We delivered. Players: Coconuts in space? Coconuts are tropical! CCP: Excellence. Our next patch will feature...
----- CCP is still under the misconception that by waving a bunch of (NeX store items) in our faces, we'll give in to our urges and (buy) them. Bring back the hangar view and its functionality! |

After reading these forums for five plus years, I realize that seeing certain names like Akita, Malcanis, Tippia, and some others will offer statements that are quite rational without being patronizing. Then there will be these topics like Captain's Quarters which have numerous glaring issues and suddenly people I have never seen before telling people "if you don't like it - leave!" to how CCP has been the greatest thing since sliced bread and we're all too spoiled to realize it. Whereas the people I mentioned above (plus others not noted) I do not always agree with, at least I take their words with weight behind it due to their posting history of years. Newbie alt player with a handful of "nothing is wrong - everything is fine" messages trying to tell a ~bitter vet~ like me how the world turns - yea right...
Anyway, on topic: one aspect I thought of while reading the reply to the question posted: "Incarna is essentially an addition that is central to the future of EVE." Now is this central aspect suppose to be the actual interactions of pilots doing both routine and unique tasks among themselves? Or as the leaked e-mail, the marketing speak, the newsletter, and the past few months of additions seem to lean that micro (or macro) transactions are the central aspect to Incarna and the quarters are just a means to an end?
Something to debate...

Besides seeing what ship is currently active and having r-click access (or just doubleclick to open any cargo bay) to all your ships, you can actually have several other windows open without them blocking access to the ship in the background.
Much more efficient than what I used to do in the old hangar view, but ymmv.

Quote: Complaining about losing the ability to right click your ship in hangar when there was already faster and more efficient ways to perform the same functions? Check.
Since those supposed ways are not faster, no check.
Quote: Complaining about losing the ability to spin your ship when it now spins for you automatically or you can spin it in fitting or ship preview? Check.
Since there is no ship to spin in the majority of views and since it requires more clutter on the scree, no check.
Quote: Complaining about the half a second longer it takes to load CQ as opposed to hangar? Check.
Since the complaint is about having to load the CQ at all, no check.

Originally by: Roime Edited by: Roime on 01/09/2011 16:37:56 FFS just turn off the CQ and open your ships panel
Besides seeing what ship is currently active and having r-click access (or just doubleclick to open any cargo bay) to all your ships, you can actually have several other windows open without them blocking access to the ship in the background.
Much more efficient than what I used to do in the old hangar view, but ymmv.
Of course people are going to complain when they lose features, shortcuts and graphics, especially when we're told we can't have those features back with no real explanation as to why except a vague one-liner after being stonewalled in silence for 2 months awaiting their answer.
It's not so much their decision it's the way they have handled it.
I wouldn't mind nearly as much if they gave an explanation that isn't a one liner that ends up causing even more player frustration and confusion. ---

I wonder, for every hour someone spends posting on these forums about how they lost functionality with the new station environment, they have already used up a year or two worth of the extra time it may take them now than it would have before.
Reminds me of those people on the way to work who just have to be in front of me by a car's length at all costs, even if they have to risk life and limb to weave in and out of traffic dodging bumpers by inches, when it only gets them to work a few seconds faster. They have this notion that the principle of the matter is all that is of any concern and absolutely no practical reasoning must apply.
The problem remains, if you miss functionality, petition it, and move on, if it gets fixed it gets fixed. Spending even an hour a day here posting about it, you have already lost all the time you would have saved with the old functionality as opposed to the new.
Getting to work a few seconds faster, lets you what... type an extra word into a document that day? Spending an hour on the forums complaining about shaving milliseconds or single clicks off of features in the game saves you what... you already just spent all the time you are worried about, on these forums complaining about the time you do want to save.
If they had added half a dozen clicks to the station environment sure, like when PI first came out, but they added one extra step, and that is only if you do not have CQ loaded.
You have to hit a hotkey to display your ship window, to note what ship you are presently using if you are not using the CQ which is intended for use by all players. Oh noz, hotkeys! You can hit a hotkey (a singleton if you prefer) to open your cargo bay too, whereas it takes a double click with the old hangar view and your ship in said hangar.

for it to be reductio ad absurdium then "changing the UI" would have to be a superset of "takin your **** and giving it to someone else". which it isn't.
the change in UI has no meaningful affect on gameplay, and only an obsessive-compulsive would care. being that a lot of people who had to reship fast (0.0 warfare) never noticed the "missing functionality" you're *****ing about - it really doesn't matter.
why are you so butthurt about a minor UI change that MAKES NO ****ING DIFFERENCE.

Actually, my main who was in 0.0 when incarna rolled out noticed the missing functionality in cq right after the missing fittings, missing frames per second, missing lack of lag, then the missing fleet that was trying to grapple with walking their apparently diarreah stricken avatars as they made their shambling way towards what looked like a glowing interface that promptly put them into planet view right while they were scrabbling with the floaty buttons for their fitting service/hanger/items etc.
Goes without saying that we missed a roaming gang while waiting for everyone to sort their stuff out. So, hardly minor at least from my fleets perspective.

You know... I live in a wormhole, don't visit stations very often. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
Seriously, though, for the most part it's load, move items, buy, sell, go. Rarely if ever take a single step. The only thing missing, though, is seeing my ship right there in front of me, reaching up with the mouse and giving it a spin. Especially a newly purchased one... something you buy for the very first time. You look at it from all angles, top, bottom, close up, spin it around again... then off to the hole.
I have to admit... I miss the old hangar view.

I reach up and spin the ship around a few times, getting a good look before heading back to the wormhole.
That would be enough... when we dock in station, simply have us facing the ship, and allow us to reach up and give her a spin. See her from all angles again.

The return of the old ship hanger or some version of it with a disembark button would make all those people happy. When does CCP plan to do it?
Response> No, we don't have any plans for that. Incarna is essentially an addition that is central to the future of EVE.

I really hate it when people speak for "the player base," as if they had any idea what each individual really wanted or liked in a feature. For my part, I love CQ. I love the contrast of just being a person for a little while against being a space battleship when out and about. I love the additional immersion, the bright screens in the room, the holograms, the mirror, being able to walk out to the balcony and look at my ship from afar. It's ****ing cool, and I can't wait to see what they do with it.
So in summary, stop saying "the player base" hates Incarna. Because I sure don't, and nor do I miss ship spinning and the old hangar interface.

To me at least, there does not appear to be any functionality in the cq that I cannot do more quickly and efficiently with a mere click of a mouse in the door view. In my view, cq is a step down from the door view. It's slower, unappealing and my computer seems to dislike it almost as much as I do.
It's not that I want ship spinning per se, it's just that the old hangar was better than what the cq has to offer. I understand that some people like to see a 2005 era graphics toon constantly scratching himself. But that just doesn't do it for me.

How can you feel immersion from popping out of your ship every time you dock if it goes against every piece of EVE lore? In addition, it's just ******ed given the game's mechanics for the overwhelming majority of docked activities. ... Return the Old Hangar Back... for Immersion.

I can't speak for the playerbase. I can speak for myself. I'm about a 2 year vet, and my main is (unsubbed) in an NPC corp. I used to enjoy playing solo in high sec. Sure, I'm a carebear, and I don't get many (any) PvP kills. But I had fun, doing what I wanted, at my own speed. Take a few weeks off? Sure, I don't have a player corp to support.
More importantly, there was a real community in my NPC corp. A number of long-term players to chat to, new players to welcome, help out, and set on their way. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed when I made this alt, and found myself back in rookie chat, trying to help the hundreds of new players and a slowly drowning ISC.
It was cool to be able to head out, do some exploration, run some L4s, or just do what I wanted to do in the sandbox. If that included spending hours docked up, invoking Godwinn's law in a heated corp chat, I could do that.
I dislike CQ. I miss the hanger view, and the fact that I could dock, use the direct interface and the functionality it represented.
I REALLY dislike CCP's behaviour over the last several months. Both the macro, like going weeks without devblogs, or the forum-wide shut down of blue bars until they organised the summit (where are those minutes, again?), and the micro, like this threadnaught with a single response from CCP Soundwave, which really did not add to the debate.
So I'm done. And if anyone knows how to redeem the 8 months left on my yearly subscription, please let me know. I guess I've learnt not to sub up long-term to an MMO. |

I thought the deal was --> Dock --> Hangar View & Ship Spinning --> WiS
However, the devil is in the detail. Much as I love Eve .. a 5 FPS WiS experience is not something I'm interested in. Neither is the door.
You had better optimise the arse out of that WiS code because I'm not buying a new rig for something I couldn't give a toss about.

Tippia's (correct) use of a reductio has already had its effect in causing you to narrow down your argument from 'people complaining due to resitance to change' to 'people complaining due to resistance to changes to the UI'. You do realise that these are two completely different lines of argument don't you? Complaining about changes to the UI is a very tiny subset of complaining about changes. You should be thanking her for helping you sharpen up your argument by pointing out that your initial formulation was laughably generalised and not at all applicable to the case in hand, a point that you now accept given that you have shown that there is a significant difference between resisting some changes and resisting others.
Don't worry, though. Failure to understand the structure of a reductio is a fairly common trait amongst posters on these forums. You are not at all alone in needing to brush up your basic reasoning skills.

Originally by: Prince Spiderman There will be no exodus. Just a major playerbase cleanup to remove kids, nerds and whiners not really playing EVE on a "serious" level because if they would play what the game really offers they don't care about ship spinning or an optional NeX store.
Quite incorrect. It's people who play at a "serious level" that need ship spinning the most, because the CQ gets in the way of actual gameplay.
You do understand that ôship spinningö refers to functionality and light-weight mechanics, not to the ability to turn your ship around, right?
I'm quite sure that that functionality and those lightweight mechanics are still there, i might be wrong though, at least they were there last time i played and that wa.. hm.. well.. yesterday actually... As for CQ, i'm quite certain there's an option in the settings that disables it?
Your whine+arguement is thus rendered invalid, stop hating, if you don't like it, quit and give someone your stuff..
Edit: to your last post
You obviously have not read the CCP Company goal/profile/whatever, they wish to become the supplier of the complete integrated sci-fi experience, they wish to do that through eve and Dust 514, Dust 514 in case you didnt know is the strategic shooter, not unlike battlefield 2/3 i guess, just a different setting, tied in with the EVE Universe, for a proper integration they need walking in stations.
CCP owns the intellectual property rights to anything EVE, they decide what they want to do, i for one is very impressed with their goal as well their progress towards it. So back to my original point, if you dont like it, quit, just stop your moaning.
What he said....
Started reading the thread and got bored very quickly, lots of anger over very little.
The lightweight functionality is still available in CQ, you just click the buttons and there is no need to move your avatar.
Personally prefer not to load CQ myself, but if its forced wont be losing anysleep as long as I dont have to walk around for anything.
People get so angry over every little thing I wonder why they bother playing the game...

I believe it is worth to be noted again, that ... over the years ... CCP removed stuff people enjoyed.
I'm not an "old" player, vet or whatever you may call it, but i've seen pictures and read oppinions.
It should not be forgotten that most players, like me, who are "younger", do not have the slightest clue about what they are missing.
I, for one, really liked spinning my ship around in the different stations, looking at all it's edges and wrinkles under different lightning conditions.
I accept changes, but i really fail to understand why changes have to be made which do not help better the playing experience.
EvE is the only game i've ever heard of that gets more ugly, the more it evolves. It seems now, it's also a game that gets less practical, the more it evolves.
Just wanted to add this, because i feel it's actually part of the discussion, altough the concentration lies on the UI side of things.
Btw, "ship spinning" is - as the name implies - "spinning the ship". The UI was a nice convenience, though ... but i clearly remember people complaining about the loss of "spinning" and not about the UI.
Anyhow ... please go on, i enjoy reading this.

I may be farther on the other side of the defense in this whole Incarna debacle, but I still know that Incarna has fallen far short of the mark that most of us have eagerly expected for years now, and the fact that we have now had more than a year of PvE or WiS related content and few actual spaceship related changes in their entirety is of course, rather unsettling.
But I am cautiously optimistic that given CCP's precedent concerning expansions, and what they have and have not released in the past year or two, that at the very least, we are bound to get some sort of spaceship related expansion this winter.
Since CCP claims they are going to be releasing changes to null, supercapitals, and black ops in the Winter Expansion, I can only assume this means they might also look at and tweak many other combat mechanic related mechanics that have been issues for a long while now.
I would rather have a forum full of Tippia's and Suitonia's whether I always agree with them or not, or how often I agree with them or not, because at least we can have a rational yet possibly at times heated discussion on the topics at hand, as opposed to this constant endless spam of thread after thread of some guy crying that CCP is an evil empire bent on world domination.
@Ragers Give it a rest. CCP is a company, they make mistakes, we let them know, maybe they make less in the future, maybe not. And endless forum rage is very tiresome and ineffectual, if anything it will merely result in either more strict moderation, or less, in which case we all suffer equally.
Pitchforks never solved anything, there is only one end result from an angry mob with a pitchfork, there is no reason behind it, it is an angry mob by definition.

Originally by: Roime Ok I understand The Door is not exactly an improvement on the esthetics front, the ship was many times better, but can you list what functionality has been lost?
To me at least, there does not appear to be any functionality in the cq that I cannot do more quickly and efficiently with a mere click of a mouse in the door view. In my view, cq is a step down from the door view. It's slower, unappealing and my computer seems to dislike it almost as much as I do.
It's not that I want ship spinning per se, it's just that the old hangar was better than what the cq has to offer. I understand that some people like to see a 2005 era graphics toon constantly scratching himself. But that just doesn't do it for me.
Ah I should have been more specific- I meant the difference between old hangar and the Door. I tried CQ once and my toon got stuck in a corner, I disabled it. I'm playing on a 2008 MBP and it wasn't super fluid either.
Besided now having the Door, instead of the Spinning Ship, covered by windows I'm not aware of any lost functionality.
That said, I like the idea of CQ and even have an alt especially designed for meat spinning purposes, maybe some day it is fully realized and by that I might even have a real game computer :P

Tippia is quite correct actually. Incarna, in its current implementation, is a hassle. It is wasting precious seconds loading and slowing down the interface that I need to use to get a ship ready quickly.
Not to mention the bad lag that occurs hwen it is active, despite having a farily solid computer. FPS in space: 100, FPS in station: 20... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally by: Foofad I really hate it when people speak for "the player base," as if they had any idea what each individual really wanted or liked in a feature. For my part, I love CQ. I love the contrast of just being a person for a little while against being a space battleship when out and about. I love the additional immersion, the bright screens in the room, the holograms, the mirror, being able to walk out to the balcony and look at my ship from afar. It's ****ing cool, and I can't wait to see what they do with it.
How can you feel immersion from popping out of your ship every time you dock if it goes against every piece of EVE lore? In addition, it's just ******ed given the game's mechanics for the overwhelming majority of docked activities.
Because I'm a person, not a space ship. I can't identify with a space ship, space ships don't have feelings. Unless it was some sort of intelligent, thinking-feeling space ship, which would be kind of cool. As for the game lore, as much as I enjoy lore, I also enjoy progress. Technology tends to evolve. Perhaps in the past however many years, some R&D corporation made an improvement in the pod design that makes getting in and out of one perfectly safe. But honestly, I don't care. I get to be a person now and that's cool with me.
As for it being ******ed in terms of docked activities... I don't even understand how that applies. What do you do when docked? Check the market? Repair your ship? Move cargo in and out? Clone yourself? Which of these activities can't be done unless your brain is hooked up to a machine? Silly.

Along the same lines, how does it help immersion if your char is staring blankly at a random wall that has little detail on, scratching his head while you browse the market and refit ships. He just stands there, scratching his head. Its something that I find hard to connect to the various things that pilots need to do when docked.
At least when there was the old station environment with the ship in the middle you could at the very least imagine that your char was being busy with things inside, and not just standing there, blankly staring into a wall, scratching his head.

People that think the session timer was a bit of altruism from CCP have it dead wrong. It was removed because Carbon cannot work around it plain and simple. After 5 years of development Carbon cannot function around basic parameters that have existed in their flagship product since inception.
Carbon is a massive heap of failure and institutionalized waste, this compromise has been cloaked in false virtue and yet players would just rejoice rather than take heed of the issues at hand. It is very telling of how problematic Carbon is going to be and remain. Expect further compromise on untenable levels while the minds who brought you one of the least functional and agile engines in gaming history continue to stay the course and kneecap their own product and marginalize their customers because individuals that belong on a fishing boat or in an aluminum smelter refuse to see reality for what it is.
You aren't getting the old hanger back because Carbon just wont work with it on any level, those session timers being removed are a quick fix thus the mass testing and removal of CarbonIO. Those session timers were in place to give the server cluster time to update and ensure things were operating as they should. The implementation of Carbon is going to see an EVE more unstable and full of glaring bugs and annoyance than ever before.
Keep rejoicing as this game circles the drain like some event horizon, inexorably bringing it to it's destruction, unable to escape the gravity well of sheer smug and bankrupt ideology that is the new business ethos while to those stuck in it time appears standstill, they can't even see the end coming.

The problem I have with what we have now is that it fails on two levels.
I have have lost the quick functionality of the old hangar view AND been given a single player room rather than something resembling the promises of ambulation/walking in stations.
It may be that there is some technical reason that CCP were unable to code a button to leave your ship and enter the station enviroment, but it seems unlikely.
As the cynic I am, it is my firm belief that we have had this single room forced upon us for no other reason than to try to get us to spend money on dress-up. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem whatsoever with vanity microtransactions, but what's the point if no-one is going to see my groovy gear?
CCP need to generate revenue, that's what companies do. However, being so blatant about a revenue drive is a little distateful, especially when (in the eyes of many) you have to compromise your product to do it. At least Coca-Cola learnt by their mistake when they did the same thing back in the 80's and survived to tell the tale.
CCP need to listen to their playerbase, rather than just wait to see what they do, because it is easier to retain a customer than to gain a new one .. and who wants to join a dying MMOG?
Their problem is that they actually believe their own hype.

You sound like a professor I had at college that claimed all of Java was a steaming pile and 'this is how he would do it'.
Well, ya know what, it's all fun and games to claim you know best and you could make something absolutely perfect in every way, so why don't ya trying actually doing it yourself and see how far you get? Theory and practice, almost always two different things.
Long as I can undock and shoot ****, I could give a flying baboon's gonads whether the code underneath is perfect or not, so long as the interface mostly behaves itself, I don't have to care how the work gets done behind it. That's how it works in a production environment, you can proselytize all you want about how it should work in a vacuum for all I care.

Originally by: pussnheels [ They added CQ it doesn t even break the gamemechanics and actually adds to the game. Immersion
There's immersion and immersion. Yes, it would add another layer of immersion to be able to get out of the pod and walk about. Most people were happy with that idea.
But people were already immersed with Hangar view, now that form of immersion has been taken away, and the new form of immersion, instead of being an added layer, has replaced the old form.
In effect, instead of adding to immersion, it's made a lot of people feel somewhat homeless and alienated - not to mention annoyed. Instead of feeling more immersed, a whole bunch of people have suddenly been pulled out of the immersion they were in, and are now more aware that it's just a game they can easily leave ...

There is some very rational debate in parts of this thread. I hear what everyone is saying and I agree that game content is certainly an important issue.
Quality is the real issue. Today I've posted on several threads discussing broken functionality related to the new patch. It almost doesn't matter what content CCP delivers because it will be borked and/or will bork existing functionality. This will not change regardless of content.
Quality is the real issue. I know of no other game developer that consistently borks the game in obtuse and arcane ways that are seemingly unrelated to the patch content, like ships flying upside down, inability to warp to missions, difficulty close windows and plenty of other stupid little annoying items. From my perspective, CQ had/has huge potential, but they botched it bad and with CQ came all manner of breakage that continues to manifest with every new patch.
Quality is the real issue. I would be much more open to change and far less critical of content if quality was not an issue. As it is, quality in this game is laughable and pathetic which makes it difficult to be objective with any other assessments.

Part of this is, no one is left at CCP that really completely understands their own code.
And they sure as hell aren't going to spend money on eve to fix that.
They don't even fix bugs they are told about months before they release a patch.

Edited by: Faffywaffy on 02/09/2011 03:59:29 I am not sure what all the confusion is about.
Anyone with half a brain can see that CQ and the WiS that will follow are CCPs effort of getting more money out of people who are interested in paying for such things as virtual monocles or clothing. In order for this to be appealing to them, their purchases must be seen by other players (what good is a monocle if nobody can see it?). If WiS is made optional, it is very likely that a large percentage (probably a majority) of players will not enable it, reducing the number of eyes on the vanity items, and thus reducing their value.
Even assuming I am wrong in all the above, the people in CCP who came up and pushed the WiS idea can't risk a large percentage of people purposefully disabling it. Allowing that will eventually lead to someone in CCP calculating that percentage and making it clear that the WiS proponents wasted a huge amount of resources without a corresponding increase in the playerbase. That is likely to cause them to be fired.
Therefore WiS cannot be optional forever. What CCP will do is provide some kind of "ship spinning" functionality (probably a slightly improved version of what already exists in CQ) and call their promise fulfilled.

I'm sincerely disappointed. Until we have real gameplay added value, the CQ for me is just an additional burden, both from a functionality and a performance standpoint. And for no added value in return.
I'd like to get back the old hangar as an option until CQ has a point.

I've said this time and TIME again.
CCP IS IGNORING YOU. They will ONLY pay attention to what you do. Don't like it? Too bad. Shutup and play the game, quit your whining. If you really didn't like it, you'd unsub. Because unsubscribing is the ONLY thing CCP will listen to.
Do I make myself clear? The only way to make CCP listen to you (the player) is to hurt them in the pocket. What would you do if your customers all left? yea, you'd be chasing them- just like CCP chased us for the past few years - and now they feel they can control us.
Stick it to them- unsubscribe. Until then, don't even bother trying to convince CCP to make things the way they should be.

Indeed, this is why I unsubbed and continue to try and convince people of the truth: that CCP wants money, they don't give a **** about the game or the game play experience.
The people and reasons everyone came to love Eve for have left.
Corporatist greed mongers have gotten their hands wrapped around the throat of any innovation and artistic vision. Eve is a pay check for them to try their luck at striking it rich in other game markets.
The only development you'll see in Eve for the next couple years minimum is game additions that will gain CCP additional income ON TOP of the subscriptions everyone pays.

It just shows that CCP aren't confident in their product. Its also a risk by forcing it due the loss of subs from people who can't multibox due to CQ/WiS higher requirements. Also the fact that some don't want it due to the increase in load time, which can be a pain during certain situations.

To further the comparison to STO, it was obvious Cryptic and Atari were screwed for money when it came out or they wouldnt have ridden then C-Store so hard WITH a subscription payment plan too (and broke their word about vanity items the day it launched). That would seem to be the case here. MMOs dont put out cash shops like this without the motivation of "oh **** whered the hookers an caviar go??" Dont compare this to WoW an say "they have..." cause THEY arent selling shirts an ****, an the only MMO I can really compare it to is STO with their uniform sales.

Hilmar has commanded that they NOT do this. and if you think theyve backed off their "fearless" ideals, look in the Nex store. Theyre "staying the course"

These are just words here, I have no way to check their veracity (even if any of it was relevant to this discussion). I can, however, see your posting history. And it is quite revealing, if a little too much.
So you are saying, you don't know, yet you DO know?
A real conundrum we find ourselves in, 
No, I'm saying it's irrelevant, and that the rest of your posts speak for themselves (as I've noted). ... Return the Old Hangar Back... for Immersion.

Originally by: Razin How can you feel immersion from popping out of your ship every time you dock if it goes against every piece of EVE lore? In addition, it's just ******ed given the game's mechanics for the overwhelming majority of docked activities.
Because I'm a person, not a space ship. I can't identify with a space ship, space ships don't have feelings. Unless it was some sort of intelligent, thinking-feeling space ship, which would be kind of cool. As for the game lore, as much as I enjoy lore, I also enjoy progress. Technology tends to evolve. Perhaps in the past however many years, some R&D corporation made an improvement in the pod design that makes getting in and out of one perfectly safe. But honestly, I don't care. I get to be a person now and that's cool with me.
I kind of agree with you here, or at least with your reasoning. Lore only goes so far as a useful game design tool, especially since it was inconsistent to begin with and CCP keeps breaking it at every turn. If you wanted to, you can even explain away the size of the room and its squalid quality, or the insecurity due to being out of the pod.
Originally by: Foofad As for it being ******ed in terms of docked activities... I don't even understand how that applies. What do you do when docked? Check the market? Repair your ship? Move cargo in and out? Clone yourself? Which of these activities can't be done unless your brain is hooked up to a machine? Silly.
This has more to do with immersion than with lore. We have always been able to do everything we need in dock without leaving the ship. All the interfaces are available, and there is absolutely no reason to disembark. The æloadingÆ screen, or the scene of your toon constantly scratching himself (as aptly noted by Information Agent) get really old really fast precisely because they are so useless within the framework of docked activities. And that is what breaks the immersion, that quality of continuity of EVEÆs spaceship gameplay. The automatic and mandatory transition of dock->avatar has no purpose, and therefore breaks the continuity, or seamlessness, that CCP Zulu is so fond of.

Doesnt seem to be the case anymore especially given that theyre removing the option to opt out of it -------- CCP knows better than the players whats good for their game. SOE knew what was best for SWG too. Better than all those players that left too. |

Not to steal your thunder there, but Star Wars Universe much? At this point they are just making up anything to make money. The screwed up the lore with the second movie and never stopped. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

Originally by: Deviana Sevidon When you look at the ship from the hangar balcony you might notice that it is already spinning. The wireframe models on your desk also show you ship spinning.
Whines like from the OP show how bitter and spoiled a good part of the EVE community has become.
Mate what the f**k are you going on about? Spoiled?
Let me break it down for you slowly.
/Bill Hicks mode on
EVE online is a product K? K! In order to use said product consumers/clients have to subscribe to a paid service K? K! Now letÆs just say for talking sake that certain consumers are not impressed by this products current service or standards K? K!
/Hicks mode off
You seem to be advocating that these consumers are spoiled in some way and instead should be content to sit at the foot of the CCP table, like dogs, waiting for scraps to be thrown to them in return for hard earned cash? As good ole Bill once said those in advertising who try to sell crap are the spawn of Satan and should kill themselves, quit trying to put a dollar tag on everything, oh and that is inclusive of the s.h.i.t.e you spout!
------
Yes, definatly spoiled and whining. 
CCP does not sell me crap, I just don't see a reason to scream and yell about something like ship spinning, besides the spinning is still there in slightly altered form, I also don't think it was ever about ship spinning, this is just a strawman argument of people who resist any changes to the game. All the old arguments, the past was always better and so on.
No, it was not better. CCP just had to take cost and technical limitation into account when creating the game, so they did what the could with the ressources available. Right now the game has a chance to take another step into becoming the ultimate space sim. But to do this a lot of behind the scenes technical groundwork has to completed first. From a tech perspective the CQ and the work assoiciated to integrate it into the current framework of EVE is impressive. Yes, there is not much gameplay (yet), but it gives us players the time to play around with it, give feedback about camera-perspective, lighting, performance etc. That is invaluable for the development Incarna.
That is the future vision of and one of the reason I love and enjoy this game: Linkage
I still love EVE, even after almost 6 years!

While I can understand the frustration with the lack of functionality in the CQ, and the fact that some people just don't want it, but the "amount of care" people invest in this ultimately irrelevant (to the gameplay) feature is actually shocking.
That being said, I would prefer if CCP devoted resources to Dust & another Eve content expansion (Or finishing Incarna in full).

Look at the graphics of players peek since 2009. eve is not growing anymore, it's a dead game. CCP is trying to get the maximum amount of money of it before it dies.

Originally by: octahexx Charante why would any sane company spend loads of workhours in making an enviroment that will be the source of money income..as in buying clothes to your avatar...and then make it optional so nobody will actually buy anything?
of course they will force it...they must also in someway force you to actually get out of the room also of it will be pointless unless you can compare your avatar to others fancy bling...maybe move some function outside the room so you need to get out.
and according to greed is good this is immersion not the removal of it...buying stuff will make have more fun.
CCP can try and force as much as they would like down to their customers. That doesn't mean that their customers like the either the change OR the lack of attention to the constructive feedback (and serious questions) provided to CCP.
While CCP has a vision of where they want to take their product, that does not mean that customers must buy into that vision.
For my part, I have no interest in loading up a resource-consuming environment when I dock my ship. Caldari clothing online is about as dull as can be and I'd rather focus my time interacting with my corp mates via chat or voice comms. Period. This is a MMO, after all. Solitary confinement in the CQ does absolutely ****ing nothing to enhance the game play for me.
And I am not going to spend RL currency to enhance my avatar. Period.
I *will* consider spending RL currency on cosmetic enhancements to ships. I *will* consider buying more GTCs to fund the purchase of space-oriented gear for continued PvP. I *will* look at other games as alternatives to my EVE subscriptions if CCP continues to under serve their client-base.
tl;dr - **** CQ / Barbie. I am willing to give CCP RL currency for space-specific stuff.
