Hi!
We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Thursday, October 1st, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time).

What exactly is being tested?


How to connect to Singularity for this test:

Test steps:

  1. Meet in FD-MLJ at the X-BV98 gate
  2. Jump to X-BV98
  3. Warp to POS beacon
  4. Shoot the control tower
  5. Warp to Poitot gate
  6. Jump to Poitot
  7. Align to F67E-Q gate
  8. Fleet 1: Jump to F67E-Q and setup gate camp
  9. Fleet 2: Jump to F67E-Q + fight at the gate


What else should I know?
  • We will be moving players to the test system - use the command /moveme
  • Bring many different ships
  • 2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test

Everything but that single mention directs to Singularity. Safe to assume it was a forgotten copy/paste correction.

LoL

Totally this. Copy/paste fail fixed. Oops

Lol the one day this week I'm not home at that time. I have to doubt ever attaining 10M SP. xD
I really hope BIAB progresses well. That kind of lag is probably what I notice most in any session of play. Particularly because of how it interrupts chat tabs and UI.

Do not actively tank my patience.

Relatively new to this test server business -- so for me and maybe others ... how do we bring many ships. Obviously we can fly only one and i know we can use command to move all our ships to the combat system, but u say you will move us, so how do we determine what ships will be moved and where should we have them docked?

^^ Hope that all made sense and not too newbieish,

if you get moved only your active ship moves with you. The test system has all the stuff you need to fit new ships. Everything costs 100 isk.

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

Is this a typo?
Why would anyone want extra skillpoints on Singularity?
I'd like to have them on Tranquility :)

This is correct - you will only receive them on Singularity.
Quite a few players like to have extra skill points on Singularity to test out new ships / modules before committing to them on TQ. Giving any direct advantage on TQ would be way too overpowered.

That all depends on what the reward on TQ would be. If it was ISK, and about the same amount of ISK you get from running a L4 mission, then it would not be overpowered. After all, the player could have spent that same time running a L4 mission rather than doing the mass test.
The mass test could even BE a mission. The agent asks you to aid in testing new systems on the DED simulator, you do a mass test, you get a certificate, you turn it in to the agent for your reward.

Trying to install now

SiSi giving huge problems, not wanting to open launcher, acting like it won't connect, all kinds of weird stuff

SO...while waiting

I installed Duality, worked fine, even used the same download, just changed server from 50 to 60 and it loaded in 2 minutes


Is SiSi dead, overloaded what?


This is on OS X if it matters....

Several bug fixes, which were essential for the mass test, including one fix to prevent very frequent stuck issues. Btw: Thanks to Suzzane West for the related bug report - this one was very helpful.

This was more likely a problem with your client install (and yes - we know about our launcher problems Ugh ).

Thank you for helping with this mass test. While we have a bunch of bug reports to work through we are quite happy with the outcome of the mass test. The server performance was, as expected, quite low (partially caused by additional logging) and the gathered performance data seems to be very useful (still need to analyze it in more details). The player count was perfect in my opinion - thanks again.
Skill points have been applied, but it failed apparently for 6 characters - please contact me (either here or through eve-mail) if you were present in the mass test, but did not receive skill points on Singularity.

Hmmm, did you check on Singularity? As far as I can see you received SP.

As there was a question on reddit about the server performance (and I want to keep all the information here on the official forums): My personal guess would be that the overall server performance was maybe 5% worse than on TQ (with some parts quite better than TQ and some parts worse) - but it is tricky to say for sure. Especially the 2nd jump was quite slow, which was partially caused by logging, but we are investigating other parts for this now.

CCP Habakuk, when ever you can let me know on what can be done about my issue :/ My best guess is redo the skill reimbursement protocol on the 2 accounts? tnx
