EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

I really like this module. If it prevented cloaking then it would be even better.

Nice, I can't wait.

Thanks very much for this, logibro. Just to confirm, is the fitting service the ship spawning ability you talked about earlier, or just the same fitting service you get in a station or with a carrier?

Same fitting service you get from Mobile Depot (which is the sub-component that it's currently using). This will eventually be removed in favour of ship/fit spawning service. Same goes for the cargohold.



We are not spawning any faction, deadspace or officer modules at this stage. Same goes for any tournament ships that are unavailable at the moment.

You can just buy them on TQ and use the copy ships command to get them onto Sisi. As long as you were actually planning to use them, you'd need to buy them on TQ anyway so doesn't seem too much of an issue.

I think most teams that have entire practice squads (rather than just practising against other teams) can probably afford to buy multiple faction/officer mods, although I see your point when it comes to AT prize ships. That said, I can also see why those aren't seeded on Sisi.

This tournament has been a shambles and it hasn't even started yet. Do I even need to list the reasons why this is my conclusion?

There's been 2 new ship releases a month before the tourney, one of which the skill book wasn't even seeded for days after it was planned. A big release merely a month before the tourney - I realise you can't put TQ progress on hold, but it's still an issue.

Then there's been almost zero input and support from CCP (until the last week, and even then it's limited) I remember the days when if you wanted a module on SiSi seeded you could get it done in a week and it wouldn't even have to be for something like the tournament. I mean, is it really so difficult to seed the market with like 3 ships and 4 modules? It never used to be. What changed.

There was a promise of Duality, and I know passworded systems are a technical impossibility for you at this point in time but I can't believe there's been no other work around, manually moving a corps members to a locked Jove system, for example, would have sufficed. Disabling all system jumping, surely, another possibility, could just put people in a dead end and turn off the systems on the pipe to it.

You could have even tried tor a "gentleman's honour code" on Duality. Tell people to leave other teams be or face repercussions to their team. But that's not possible without a willingness to seed ships and modules on there.

I mean it's 2 weeks out and we just got a module that prevents probing. The most input I've seen is the battlecruiser +1 -1 point change we went through which just added a bit more to the sillyness of the whole thing.

So the teams make do with the best there is on offer, which is what is on offer to every EVE player, SiSi. But it's down rather inconveniently a fair bit. On top of that it is bugged, can't import ship fits from clip board, probing is broken and theres even crash bugs that affect 50% of people on grid.

To top it off the Prizes are not even in line with previous AT ships - except the Mimir. Ha.

It just feels like with minimal effort you could actually address most of these issues rather easily which makes all this even more annoying. We teams practice to make ourselves competitive, and competitive teams make a good tournament - which is what you want. I think it's too late to redeem this one, but if you take on the responsibility of Alliance Tournament 14, I hope you learn from this years efforts.

Can you please remake TPU's to at least 2m km range or even better to 100au?

Because your ******** test server constantly crashes, ppl emergency warp 1kk km off and can easily get probed/ fit scanned in a matter of seconds.

Worst tournament preparation ever btw.

+1

This is a great improvement. Cheers.
