Test Server Feedback

Aeon for me pls :)

Thanks

yo wedge

I burned out 4 of my screens recently. I don't have class today so I'm taking the free time to make use of some spares. will be back on today.

Could you do the next 8 please, ive already got other people doing those ships.

my offer for help hauling still stands, contact me on this toon if you are in need on sisi

＋nyx plz
order for a friend

Well, if they keep doing mirrors at the rate they are doing them and don't give us build boosts then I will have to shut this service down as it will just end up being a waste of my time.

Same here, another Week gone for good.
Well, the solution could be something easy as a systemwide bonus that cuts down 90% of production/resarchtime on caps/supercaps and any industrial job anyway. You would still need to haul all the stuff and set up the usual industrial structure to build them, but you wont have to wait the actual buildtime.

And it's a Test Server after all, so this would be a legal option in my view, and if you do industry updates i think a speed up construction/resarch/copy option would benefit overall testing.

Another solution - At the time of the mirror run a script on TQ for all Characters with Capital Ships IV and V and on Sisi at the time of the mirror gift them and only them 1 each all Motherships and 1 each all Titans. Sisi is set so that they cannot be sold, traded, or included in contracts. Just a thought, which I may float with CCP during the week.

Of course it would work, I've got 1 char that has 10 SC cooking at the moment. If the the time between mirrors is not long enough to build Supers then having them from trhe start is better than nothing and if it means that there are not as manmy being used on Sisi not a problem

Hey folks,

I understand that the mirroring cadence can be troubling to you, particularly relating to building things that take a long time. The short answer is that we mirror as and when we need it for testing purposes. In this instance we need a mirror to get relevant data onto the Sisi DB so that we can perform another upgrade test to ensure that our deployment next week will be smooth and on time.

Moving forward, we are actually trying to make mirrors on a regular cadence (though there will always be exceptions) but also to increase their frequency to as much as every 2 weeks. Obviously this has some problems and we would be very receptive to hearing them (more dedicated feedback threads will go up nearer the time, but I'm now subscribed to this thread so feel free to post here too), but it also addresses one of the most oft-asked things, which is the lack of frequency of mirrors. So, with that in mind, let's hear some ideas (like Orny's above) of how we could go about mitigating the issues that come with frequent mirrors. If at all possible, bear in mind that Sisi cannot be a special little flower and have massive code differences from TQ, or it invalidates itself as a test environment.
