Hey,

Singularity is back as primary public EVE test server – updated with a new mirror. It has also been updated with an early test version for Retribution 1.1. Unfortunately the markets are down at the moment.

Changes:

  • Tooltips improvements (Team Pony Express):
  • Module tooltips have been added to the fitting window.
  • Extra info has been added to a whole lot of active modules, so now pretty much all active modules should have a tooltip with useful information.
  • Dueling (Team Five 0): See this devblog and please give feedback in the devblog thread.
  • New info panels (Team Game of Drones): Feedback thread will be posted soon
  • War dec fixes (Team Super Friends)
  • Battlecruiser balancing changes - read and comment in this thread
  • Many bug fixes (all teams)


Known issues:

  • The markets are not available - fixed

Armor and shield compensations now have only one bonus? Is this a boost or something else?

Example:
EM Shield Compensation skill

Old: "To active shield hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Shield EM resistance when the modules are not active
To passive shield hardeners: 5% bonus per skill level to Shield EM resistance"

New: "5% bonus to EM resistance per level for Shield Amplifiers"

What?

So, generally alot of UI changes and user friendly improvements, all generally good things. Only thing I don't like is the duelling, infact I am not particularily fond of the way the new suspect mechanics work for looting from a yellow can. Bring back the previous mechanics for it where you only went flashy to the owner, his corp and his alliance. Being shootable by everyone completely ruins suicide ganking freighters, and makes griefing people (which I feel to an extent is part of the core that makes EvE what it is) just not worth the hassel anymore.

If you observe the description closely it says "for Shield Amplifiers" as such this will mean the skill only affects passive hardeners, as they are the amplifiers, active hardeners are referred to as fields.

edit2: I'm going to hunt you down and pod you repeatedly Sarmatiko if you edit you post and include the comment "first" in it and descent this thread into the silly game of "first post".

the new route interface is AMAZING. But you know what is missing int the context menu? "optimize waypoints"

screen found via twitter

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

This is the most pointless yet totally awesome thing I have ever seen in Eve. I love it.

No SP shows on character for previous testing. Ugh

The new Waypoint map is beautiful though.

    Thank you for bringing singularity back to us.

    I will admit I gave up when it was singularity, buckingham and the other one.

    Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

    So I guess we won't get market working till Monday? It's kinda pointless to be able to use only what you have in assets.

    I am happy enough with being able to keep my tranq and sisi skill training lined up to wait patiently for markets to come up.

    Maybe it is because they are seeding super caps, officer and deadspace mods! Big smile

    The tool tips in the fitting window only go to the top left of the module, this causes the tooltip to go out of the client. I´d like to see it go inwards if it were to meet the edge of the client. (I have my fitting window in the top left right next to the big E)

    I love that I can now see my speed with an MWD before actually activating it thanks to tooltips :D

    For some reason I can't delete my signature o.o

    Having this same problem.

    Also, hovering the mouse over Rigs & T3 Subsystems causes the tooltip for them to pop-up very briefly before being replaced with the tooltip for my group of guns.

    Also, would it be possible for for Probe Launchers' tooltip to show the sensor strength taking into account the currently loaded charge?
    Example: http://www.swiftandbitter.com/eve/misc/Probe_Strength.jpg

    New Autopilot panel is very fancy. Also route map in ship view is <3
