Hello F&I:

**Be forewarned, it is 3am, I'm on my 8th cup of coffee and I have a thesis paper due in five hours**

Idea: Have all "Assembled" ships appear in your ship hangar

Background:
If you're like me, you enjoy collecting ships. My idea would make all assembled ships in a station's hangar visible in the ship hangar view. Basically, all inactive ships will form a circle around the currently active ship (which is in the same position as it is now). I also propose a set of camera controls that will allow you to look at your ships.

Why?
Because it'd be dope. /thread
BUT SERIOUSLY, it would give an awesome prespective on how the ships scale to each other, would make collecting rare ships fun by always having them visible, etc, and would really give your hangar some life, and add to the feeling of "Ohemgee im a ******* space god look at all the different things i can fly" . Currently, your ship just pops out of no where. CCP could add docking clamps/etc, even maintenance drones hovering around the hulls.

What do you guys think?

No, not really needed.

Also, get your damn paper done >.>

One day the world will be burning. Seals will be invading Iceland. Pigs will be flying. And THE ONLY thing that could've prevented the cataclysmic demise of our planet is my idea mentioned in this thread.

Also, the paper is getting there slowly. Mrs Professor and I exchange dirty glances during lecture so im pretty sure she wants my D. So in a very roundabout way, Im sure she will love this thesis.

**NEW Thread Motto**
"The feature you need, but not the feature you deserve"

EDIT: By seals i mean the fat blubbery things with whiskers.

CQ already stresses graphics cards far more than the actual game. If my card suddenly has to render 50 ships every time CQ loads up uninvited, I don't think it'd last long.

So, no.

Separate from CQ. I hate CQ. Never go in it. So if you wanted to look out from the catwalk, just have it be like it is now. Just the one ship.

Im specifically talking about this for hangar mode.
