Coming back into eve (and sisi) after few months break. I found that you can now redeem supercapitals instead of building them and waiting for devs to accelerate construction time.

Is this just one time only or will we see this solution of supercaps on sisi every mirror? (that would be cool)

was a one time deal. CCP gave out 1 of every supercap to each player to test out on a masstest right after the added the new capital v3 skins. Nothing has been said about a repeated redeeming option for supers.

Well they should implement this because:

-if you want test Titan/SC for something banal, you have to start loooong and difficult process of joining the doomsday testing alliance (sometimes several days till you are accepted), building your POS, fuel it, then haul countless freighter turns (also several painful days), and after you put it in the manufacture, you need to wait several days till devs accelerate your manufacturing process. All this just for a couple of minutes of testing Ugh

It is disadvantageous for DEVs because:
-they need to create DTA, make one system with upgrades, they need to accept pilots/corps to DTA , and for several times, they need to accelerate manufacturing process for many pilots (more unnecessary work for them).

Now this redeeming is the best solution because:
-If you seed many Titans/SCs on market we all know how it will end (every pilot with skills will fly only T/SC = total mess)
-If they seed only several T/SCs on market there will be always some jerk and will buyout them all.
-If you give T/SC through redeem, there will be limited number of Titans/SCs (one per each player) so no hoarding, no permanent Armageddon days, no buyouts by one player.
-no work for devs with this T/SC matter (except seed T/SCs to every playe for redeem after each mirror).

Yes some players that don't have skills for T/SC will put them on the market (this is against the rules) but there should be an exception for T/SCs. And we all know that they will put it on the market for several Billions = no/ or limited hoarding.

What do you think about this DEVs/GMs?

Personally I think that they should give maybe 2 or 3 of each (not hundreds xD) as it will let people mess around with them a bit as well as find any potential bugs.

The downside to this is that if there are any bugs in the building process they probably won't be caught so this is probably the reason why it won't happen.

With regards to the DTA and build acceleration, they no longer (and haven't for some time) accelerated builds and there hasn't been a DTA for the last few mirrors. (So the devs don't "Need" to do anything at all).
