As topic says, I hereby propose the comeback of a "feature" I really enjoyed in Eve...
Namely the ability to turn off everything using the GPU when docked in a station.
This was present before CQ, where "disable station environment" provided you with a static view of the ship, EXCELLENT feature I might add.
After CQ, we got a static door, which... did nothing, no double clicking to get cargohold or whatnot.
Currently we got ship spinning back, but it is now no longer possible to be docked in station and have (almost) zero GPU usage, as the station environment is now continually rendered either as CQ or spinning your ship.
I don't understand how adding ship spinning, but removing the static background of the station is considered an update... but meh. Wasting more GPU cycles, producing more heat is apparently something CCP considers a feature heh.
I tried posting this in "Issues", but got told it is currently working as intended, so here goes.
Give us back our static ship when disabling station environment, as we had before CQ!
Alternatively add an option where you can choose ship spinning or static ship!

Couldn't agree more.
Minimizing CPU/GPU usage when running multiple clients or other applications is important.
Brining back the old, "pre-incarna" static ship image would be a valuable feature. |

Agreed!! I also posted this comment on the feedback thread for the patch. Consider cross posting there as well since its direct feedback. |

I also posted in that thread I think.
Anyway, this seriously deserves some attention. I fail to understand how increasing GPU strain helps anyone at all.
Except for the "ooooh, shiny" crowd CCP tends to please again and again (probably because its easier to make shiny graphics than to improve the game play / remove bugs heh).

No. Get a new graphics card. And make it spin. |

Agreed.
Sometimes we need to sit in the station for longer than a couple of minutes, and can't really minimize the client as important things are happening... GPU makes noise and heat, and consumes expensive electricity for no reason at all while docked.
Give us back the static image please! |

Being able to toggle between ship spinning and a static image would be nice... but PLEASE not that door again!!!!

I actually have that old static ship environment on my laptop, I didnt fiddle much with settings when CQ kicked in tho.
So I believe there is some line of setting in *some* ini file, and ppl coding ship spinning back forgot to add settings tick for it.
I'll take quick look on my laptop later, if i could find some workaround until this issue is fixed.
EDIT: I was wrong, its not static, I can see the ship waving around abit even tho i cant spin it |

I have no problem running multiple clients docked or undocked, its not the main point. Main point is the waste of energy, the extra heat produced, the extra strain put on your GPU/CPU when its not needed at all.
Eve is probably the worst game I've ever played in terms of performance pr. GPU/CPU usage - I believe and hope client performance is something that should be / is on the top of the list for the winter expansion, and adding less performance when docked is a very bad first step heh.

I agree that this option should be considered however to get it to display a static picture that matches your ship may take a while to develop.
I say break it down into three rollout phases.
1. Old style, the door.
2. By station race type.
3. then your active ship.
that way developer resources are not eaten up as much and coding can take its time. |

I hope the door would be back with winter expansion. give my netbook easier time to do station matters while i'm not at home. |
