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.

agreed, but what about the actual problem with the loss of functionality, drag and drop and double click for cargo?. that was the issue at the time that is the issue now. where did everyone get the ship spinning thing from?

it is cool to get back though dont get me wrong

Anybody else catch that?

So let me get this right.
Old hangar is coming back, lightweight on resources as it was before and with same functionality?
Ship spinning, zooming, drag ship to activate and double click to open cargo?

Not some Carbon hybrid that is gonna eat 100% cpu as CQ does?

This sounds too good to be true.... and we get old icons back. Something is seriously bad gonna happen soon :(

CarbonUI =/= Incarna/Captain's Quarters

Carbon allows them to easily make CQ-style UI elements and traditional UI elements use a lot of uniform coding, but I believe Carbon drives the entire UI now, including your traditional menus and boxes you're used to.

And Carbon is far more efficient code-wise than any previous iteration, which would mean the same interface, but with the new Carbon code, should theoretically be more efficient and less taxing.

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.
