Am I the only one that noticed the ship spin counter at the bottom of the hangar mode screen?

Edit: For those of you who have noticed it list your best scores here!

How can a thread where players of this game are discussing a feature introduced in the last expansion, be regarded as having a lack of contend?
I like it, it's humorous. It made me laugh when I discovered that if you hit the 100 mark, it lights up and starts flashing.....Smile

The ship spin counter actually counts mouse movements distances. If you play around a bit with it you can see it doesn't work properly.

I can spin my ship a dozen times and not get a single count ;)

I think I reached 25 spins before deciding to actually play the game.Roll

This signature intentionally left blank for you to fill in at your leisure.

I only just noticed it yesterday.

It made me realize that this is probably the best feature ever introduced for eve.

P.s. I made it to 1250 last night before i stopped

Oh I was playing al right. I just had to wait in station for some intel on a certain gate to clear before undocking. That's also part of playing EvE you know.
So why not having some fun with a documented new feature while having to idle away a few minutes?

The fact that the counter becomes visible is simply a bug.

In reality it's code that CCP included in this expansion to get accurate metrics on the "ship spinning" phenomenon that they had apparently completely overlooked.

Get back under the bridge. It's obviously intentional else they wouldn't have bothered adding the 100 mark visual que.

My delicate wit is apparently a bit too dry. It was a joke Kitty. Smile
