Unlock in-staton camera for large ships

Why in the cluster can’t I ship spin my freighter?!

Because you would clip the camera into the hangar geometry. Instead, you get nauseating wobbling every time you accidentally click somewhere in the hangar.

because modern CCP employs are pretty crap a lot of them have little to no actual experience. So they spent a bunch of time making a “cool” hanger but didn’t know how to do that and make it functional to rotate your ship without clipping it into the hanger wall. This is also why a lot of the new UI looks like it was built for touch screens. Touch screens are what is taught at most schools for the last half decade or so. Its all they were trained to do.

at this point I also assume a lot of them don’t play the game much if at all so they didn’t see it as an issue.

Small ships can spin, but large ships are too large to spin as the stations aren’t unlimited in size on the inside.

It’s an effective way to give the viewer the feeling that these ships really are a size bigger than those subcapitals, even if the ship is visually the same size if you zoom out.

I had no problem feeling like my ego was bigger. Hell being able to see all the sub caps on the same room adjust helps with that.

But you know what makes it so i can’t enjoy looking at my big ship? Locking the camera like it’s some original Playstation title.

At least let me rotate to the side facing the giant pit

I don’t really agree with your stance that the XL ship hangar space is accidental, I quite like that the ship has to be on a different mooring because of it’s size.

I did want to comment on this exact point though, my friends 6 year boy was FASCINATED by my laptop touchpad because up until that point he had only ever used a touch screen, so the idea that you moved your finger on the touchpad and the mouse cursor moved on the screen blew his frikken mind!

Undock and spin the camera to your heart’s content.

I never said the space was accidental. I said it was made without real thought given to how people would use it

Undock? What the heck?

Can’t get your spin counter up that way.
