Since CCP took away Ambulation and all plans to give us the chance to really see ourselves next to our ships, i propose the next best thing.

The idea is that when you are inside station and have either avatar mode or station hangar mode on to view your ship, all of your ships that are in that station are parked and visible to you one beside the other as if in a port along a pier. This way you can see your destroyer dwarfed by a battleship or three little frigates lined up next to a battle cruiser. It would really give us an idea of how big or small our ships are.

The other idea is to have animation showing little workers loading and unloading those parked ships. So as you look down at your ship from the balcony you can see workers repairing and loading your battleship or frigate and in this way you see just how small people are next to your ship.

Who stole Ambulation? well since we are stuck with incarna please give us ship size comparison in some way...i bet many EVE players want this.

One other note, "ships do not have to spin while in dock" just like a ship on the water you can have it tied up to a pier and sit stationary while it is being repaired and serviced. Why CCP has this fascination with ships floating in the middle of a station is getting old.....mix it up a little CCP please.
