EVE Information Portal

Is this part of today's 1.11gb update? (Hope folks had time to plan for the download as not all of EVE's players have the best choices for internet connections)

Has this been mass tested? "What could go wrong?" is often answered very harshly by reality, so testing, testing, testing is a good mitigator.

Like I mentioned, testing, testing, testing... locked at 11000km? Not 11km, but 11 thousand km. Wow.

I thought I had done that. At Jita, mine was 20,000 km away.

This morning, it was on-grid.

Volumetrically speaking, increasing the grid edge size from 250 km to 8000 km gets you a grid that's 32,768 times the size of the original.

It's just an interesting technical point. The grids aren't 32 times larger, they're 32*32*32 times larger.
Also they're not spheres.

This change is interesting. Not only drag bubbles....which ARE going to be harder to line up. But stop bubbles. You just made ganking dudes in sight of their POS that much easier.

However, I do suggest you look at the acceleration and deceleration from warp for the larger ships. Like...it's about 20 seconds now for a battleship to come to a stop after entering grid. that means that even if you aren't on d-scan to see them hitting grid, everything has a chance of escaping them before they sludge to a stop and can begin locking.

Which, just in case you were aware, is really stupidly slow for such a large ship. Just sayin', there's plenty of room on a BS to chuck decent sensors on it so it doesn't sit around uselessly for 15 seconds.

I think you have also, by default, done a number on fleet warps. This is what you were wanting, but of course you wanted to just remove it. Now you've got the problem for ccompulsive fleet warpers that all their guys can be on a gigantic grid and being sucked along with the FC's commands. This will be chaos, and great to watch unfold. So, GG fr that, I'm in favour.

Also adding my voice to the removal of lock range restrictions. 250km is now literally nothing.




Yeah, because someone else's off-grid was 15,000 away and they were there, and stretched the grid out more.

Grid can grow a lot when you have a lot of ships consistently warping and slow boating in the same direction. At one point I saw grid at 80,000 km from Jita 4-4 in the undock direction.

In the past you could have pieces of grid "tear off" and progress along when multiple ships are relatively close going in the same direction. This seemed to be the case in Jita yesterday when grid seemed to go to nearly 200,000 km at one point, but collapsed back to about 80,000 km after my char left grid at that extreme range. I had to warp back to much closer BMs to find Jita 4-4 grid again. I'm not sure if it was torn grid or hugely expanded grid that significantly resized itself.

It would be interesting to know if the Developers have tools to visualize the grid structure around a specific object in real time. It could be very enlightening to see the grid structure expanding, contracting, and tearing in real time while players go about their business.

In the past I've been able to tear off a piece of grid on Sisi then compress it back inline to create a 5km wide slice of off grid between the main grid and torn piece. Though it was hard for me to tell if that was a truly thin slice of pocket grid or just the extreme corner of a much larger piece.

What shape is it then? And what is the minimum distance of this shape is that known?

My experience points to a Rectangular Cuboid, but it would be nice for a Dev to confirm. That would be the simplest grid shape.

Seems like I'm not the only one having issues with Rats aggro-ing from unreal distances: Post 125
