Usefulness: watching converted TV on the screen while keeping an eye on the Eve ui windows and text channels.

I enjoy my CQ!! It gives me a chance to get out of the pod goo and to freshen up. It also despite it's limitations gives me a sense of being a human for a time and alot of times I'll just sit and relax, even the same ol' soap operas are usually there for me to watch. A lot of times I use mine to check my mail and skills and just chat with my corp mates.

Sure, there's plenty of little details some may have overlooked but it's there, for example the steps going down to the pod has the undock button there even at the railing at the top. You can even use the console to refit, change ships in the hanger to what ever you need. Yeah sure The Door is a hindrance but if and when that gets open at some point, it can change the game play tremendously.Big smileBig smileBig smileBig smileBig smile

Yep. It's cool. Take your fav. tv series you've been meaning to watch, convert to Bink in a batch, setup a shortcut to the cache directory, add & watch shows as you like. All the while keeping your eyes on the Eve UI.

At worst a basic set of time line, Play, Pause, FF/RW and SKIP UI would be nice to control the playback.

We used to live next to this older couple, and every other day the husband would be seen for hours in the driveway with the hood of his car popped open fixing some imaginary problem with his engine. Inside the hood he'd have a newspaper open and some beer.

I understand now that this was his CQ.
