They should either expand it that you can interact with other people or just dump it. As it is, I rather ship spin!

Captain Quarters is the first step towards full blown station interaction planned for the future release.


Understood, but the more I read on these forums, the more I get the idea that no one seems to want walking in stations or WiS as they call it. It also seems that CCP has changed their gears as I don't believe that this is a priority as you don't hear anything regarding future releases of WiS. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'm just misinformed...

Some people want it, some don't. There is no good solution for everyone (actually, there is... making station interaction optional). We don't know how it will look like, how it will work, what will be in it. Let's hold on judging until CCP finishes their work. People don't like captain quarters for few reasons:
1. ship spinning (that was fixed and enhanced)
2. high CPU and GPU load (that was fixed partially)
3. forced captain quarters (that was fixed)
4. much longer docking and undocking (not fixed; workaround - disable CQ)
5. walking seems pointless (and it will be until station interaction release)

I'm sure CCP will optimize the engine and (hopefully) CQ will run much smoother. Keep in mind, this is a first step. Test of a feature if you like. Use it and report problems or disable it.
We all would be very happy if CCP could switch their tracks and focus on new features for out-of-station gameplay, like moar ships, moar and bigger stations, moar and better solo PvE content etc. but let them make something different from time to time and maybe something very good and useful will come out of it.
