There was a nice option long ago in a classic client.

It's as simple as is sounds: when activated, a camera in your hangar is slowly rotates around the ship.

It's was nice to switth it on, hide all the windows and get back to reading or other things.

I think it's not too hard to do, a nice little thing.

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

Well, if noone against it, then it's a good thing, right? Smile

No one is responding because it's a 'meh' idea at best and just a waste of dev time. We were hoping that if we ignored the thread, it'd just go away. We really don't need a ship spinning bot and there are MANY things that devs should be working on instead that are FAR more important.

Yeah, it's not the most important thing. But it's also a matter of a few minutes if not seconds to a single programmer.

There is a lot of UI fixes which are "meh", if you take one of them and describe it in a separate topic...

My ships not autospinning means the client consumes ever so slightly fewer system resources. So no thanks.

Or, we could just not implement this silly, pointless feature and associated options menue settings to begin with... I really don't think it is even worth the few minutes you seem to think it would take CCP to put into place. There is no discernable benefit I can see other than it pleasing your obscure sense of aesthetics. Pointless features shouldn't get even minutes of developer time and implementation just because. You need A.) a reason for their existence and/or B.) strong popular support for such a feature. And by that I mean more than one person.

But this has more "meh" per bit than the others.

Well... I for one do miss the feature and cant understand why they ever removed it.
All the negative comments are from pp who are afraid of losing their rank for the most spins :p

The CSM XI Election are now open until March 25th, 2016. Consider Niko Lorenzio for CSM XI.

Best idea to ever come out of here in recent times.

Market bots, mining bots, mission bots, and now ship spinning bots?
God no

Yeah I'm being a bit sarcastic, fair.
