Captain's Quarters make me sad

Incarna has made me completely lose interest. NEX exchange is not interesting, I don't mind one way or the other about microtransactions, but it's not a player-driven market (which is why I play Eve) so it's simply just not of interest. But it's the Captain's Quarters which is truly appalling. It's not often an expansion to a game makes it worse, but CCP has managed it.

As an industrialist, I spend most of my life in stations. My choice is now wait 20-30 seconds for a terrible 3D environment to load every time - a 3D environment which actually lacks the functionality to be usable (for example there is no way to look at your items in a station), or alternatively I can stare at a picture of a door which doesn't open. I don't want to do either, so I'm not. Maybe I'll come back to Eve in the future, right now, no.

Dumb.

Dumberer.
