You might want to take part in the mass test when it is announced.....just saying.

We have split the scanner window (Probe Scanner, Directional Scan, Moon Analysis) into separate windows so that you can have them open side by side.

We will be releasing a collection of other smaller changes in Phoebe that will be of interest to many of the same people who are affected by these travel changes. These include a rebalance of starbase weapons, a rebalance of stealth bombers and heavy interdictors, enabling of lowsec doomsdays, and changes to interdictor bubble mechanics. More information to come.


When are these changes due on Sisi?

Bonus!

Nice.

While you're splitting up windows, a friend of mine mentioned it would be nice to pull an entire window (like the overview) out of the client itself and have it on a second monitor. I know it's not as simple to do, but it'd be a cool addition to the client overall if we weren't restricted to fitting everything into one client rectangle.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

jump freighter is only receiving a 50% reduction to fatigue instead of 90%?

or is there a minimum of 10 minuets fatigue for all ships before jump range?

just checked.

yes jf's get 90% reduction. but the way the math is done, it still gets 10mins + the 90% reduction.
so a 5ly jump is still 15 mins for jf or rorqual

and 60 mins for other caps.

The thread for jump changes states:
Does a titan providing a bridge gain fatigue when people jump through it?
No. Only if the titan itself jumps.

When bridging on Sisi my Titan gains Fatigue and Jump Cooldown (as soon as the bridge is lit, even if nothing jumps). Is this intended or a bug?

Can someone detail the different cloaking effect modules? I tried a Faction cloak vs t1 cloak and didnt see any difference.

Also do all ships + jf get a min 10min fatigue timer? And then the 90% reduction?

My personal opinion now is that capitals can use gates.... what is the logic baring them from high sec?
Cant they just be nerfed in high sec like the bomber / Hictors / and Dictors? Aka only weapon systems that are currently in hs could be used?
would provide new juicy targets to for the pirates to attack lol!!!!

Currently Zetaomega333 i see 3 differents cloaking effect modules; for T1, T2 and Cover ops. We can add one different cloaking effect for Stargate jumps/wormholes already know and can be improved.

You can stand for the thread "Module specific cloaking effects" or use bugs report option if something go wrong for you in one of these visual effects.

Your effective personal standings need to be higher to see the player's signature.

The new cloaking effects are dazzling, simply awesome. It's come such a long way since the old 'wipe to invisible' method from years ago!

The sensor overlay seems quite intuitive to me, and I haven't found any flaws yet. Good show!

EDIT: I just realized this should technically go with the EVE Probe stuff, but I'll leave it here since it relates to upcoming Phoebe changes. Remove if necessary.

So I saw a post on Reddit today covering the new POS onlining animations.

The effect looks nice, but I don't think it makes sense at the moment. As was brought up in the comments, why are we hauling around giant POS items when it's all digistructed out of magical space lasers?

Because of this I suggest you add something like a "POS Egg". Basically throw a structure into the center of the animation that is the source of both the lasers and the building materials. Instead of the matter/energy for the POS coming from some magical singularity at the center of the finished model, the structure is a logical housing/genesis point for what is to be the completed POS.

Other than that the effect looks great (from the stills that I see, I still haven't seen it in motion so I can't weigh in on if the effect should be faster/slower/different)

Oh and one more thing. If you plan on making stations buildable at any point, it might behoove you to think about placing the "center" of the build animation (the POS egg if you take my suggestion) off to the side of the structure, just because there will be a longish time at the end of the construction period when you won't be able to see the animation due to it all being inside the model. If you put it 5km away from the edge of the completed model, you can have the POS'/Station's/Whatever's construction visible for the entire duration that it is active and then just terminate the animation at 5km from your egg. It would look cool and makes logical sense.

Sensor Overlay, is nice and all but there is a little problem that I came across with it..

While running a mission, the sensor overlay will show me where the mission site is in space. Thats nice, only problem that I had was when I had to destroy a structure for the mission. The structure was pretty big, but the senor overlay will sit on top of said structure and I will not be able to select the structure or even the overlay.. not being able to select it means I cant target it. Had to work around it by trying to click on outter edges of the structure just so that I can select it for targeting. Got lucky and was able to complete the mission.

This new sensor overlay is nice and all, but this just needs to get looked at and fixed.
