Now I know you are insane You never got your autopilot shot by a pirate? It's the worst case scenario: Not saved for a while, jumping to a system with only a planet to land on, no fuel to jump elsewhere and a pirate suiciding into your ship, fragging your autopilot. Landing your ship was never so intense. I happily paid to repair the 99% hull damage. Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics

It takes a pirate a loooooong time to break anything on a Panther Freighter And Im not paying to repair hull on a ship of that size Also if you are actually fighting in Elite 2, you are doing something wrong.

Cebraio 4S Corporation Goonswarm Federation 411	Posted - 2014.05.23 09:30:00 - [33] - Quote I actually liked manual docking in space games. It just doesn't make much sense in EVE because we don't have collision mechanics. Flying through a space station would probably end up in some eternal bouncing between the walls. I could live with a short docking animation that takes as long as the station loading lasts or could be ESC'ed if it takes longer than that. That would actually be quite nice.
Aralyn Cormallen Wildly Inappropriate Goonswarm Federation 410	Posted - 2014.05.23 10:19:00 - [34] - Quote I originally reflex-hated the gate animation, but in hindsight, it doesn't really stop anything, so thats all good. The important thing (and hopefully something we forced up their rectums during the Incarna debacle), is that functionality isn't lost by any graphical upgrade. "Time docked" can be critical in a pvp situation, and fast docking to repair, grab new drones and ammo, or to replenish cap (a regular trick when convoying capitals) is an important ability, and anything that slows down the docking-and-undocking process, will be unacceptable. If a graphic can be pasted over the transition in the same way as when gate-jumping, thats fine, but anything longer will quickly get infuriating.

Oh my stars, this is the most incredible strawman I've ever seen. Nobody said anything about the graphics, they're talking about the time it takes between session changes.. Gittit? You don't scare me. I've been to Jita.

IIshira School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 867	Posted - 2014.05.23 11:13:00 - [37] - Quote Someone said we need a docking animation like the jump animation. Yeah just what I want another prerecorded animation I have to watch. Just like the jump animation it was cool the first 3 or 4 times I saw it but by the 10th time it was just annoying.
Dub Step Death To Everyone But Us 141	Posted - 2014.05.23 11:17:00 - [38] - Quote I like how the jump animation resets your zoom level so there's something else to adjust every single jump you make on a 200+ jump roam.

Quick changing ship is more important to me than jerking off to animations.
