ship spinning is being implemented, as discussed with the csm in june. there was some code-fu involved in reviving the original code due to architectural changes that we did with CQ, which has to do with where you are physically. well physically in the eve universe.
anyway, the old hangar is up and running on a dev machine, awaiting some further UI coding. but it-¦s being done. can't comment on exact release date, that depends on a number of technical things. you will be able to toggle between it and captain's quartersq as you desire. |

you mean drag-dropping stuff on it? i am sure spinning will be there at least... |

due to the amount of all caps and emoticons, I'll check with the UI guys to make sure that's part of the story. |

Hiya Torfi, nice to hear from you again on the eve forums. And thank you for this update which is most appreciated. Can I ask what you feel about this issue though and did it surprise you to the degree which the player base reacted to the forced removal of the old hanger and replacement with the CQ environment?
In retrospect, it shouldn't have been a surprise, we were simply too stubborn I guess. We wanted to up the bar on fidelity, as we have always done over the years, but it came at a cost. However, it should be noted recent gaming graphics cards run this fine. I was running four clients in CQ the other day on my machine with a Nvidia GTX 570 at around 25 fps. However, we do support very old machines and they have an issue with rendering the CQ. Some lower-end laptops as well ( sometimes referred to as craptops ), that have very trimmed down chips that support the same features as desktop cards, but lack a lot of the parallelism and bandwidth that higher end laptop cards and desktop cards have.

Are you also pretty clear on the chief issues here, that its about the radically-increased performance overhead of CQ compared to the old hanger combined with the loss of easy functionality in ship activation and manipulation?
Sure. Losing the UI functionality was pretty bad, but it's being resolved.

That was never proven to be me. I don't know what you are talking about. There is no evidence. |
