But at the moment, station grids are much larger than, say, stargate grids.

Will all grids have the same default size after the change, since they'll be bigger than current station grids for instance?
Assuming that a particular grid won't be limited by having other things nearby, like other stations or a POS like already mentioned in the thread.

Has the range of the zoom/look at feature been adjusted to suit this change?

Sometimes you need to get a close-up of your enemy, so If we are going to be fighting on much battlefields, the look at feature should be increased.

Personally I don't think there is a need for a limit in the first place. It would also be better if we had different zoom factors e.g. x2, x8, ect.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

What will be the 'Grid Size' for Fleet Warps?

I did Right to Rule, the Amarr epic arc with sansha's path. I find no issue during epic arc.
Would be nice to remove countdown from all epic arcs to test. (only in test server).

Grid-fu still behaves like before, so you can still expand grids in the same way. It's just 7800km radi that is the default one now, won't be less than that (except some barriers between pos/station to prevent same grid).

Any idea if the extensions are the same? I.e. Dropping a can at the edge expands about 150-250 now, will each can now expand by 1000?

This is not being changed at this point in time.

Some other team might want to tackle it in the future, but this is not going to change on Dec 8th release.

They will be as big as the grid.

My bad, I probably should have updated the known issues :(

We fixed it so missions should never see rooms they should not.

Each can would expand it into another grid, just like current grid-fu, but with the grids being that much bigger this takes a considerable amount of time, even with my devhax.

Is this the right place to plead for a changes on grid probing and lock range changes?

We have this huge massive grid, but are artificially constrained by arbitrary 150/250km ranges respectively.

I mean, citadels aren't even going to be able to threaten their whole grid. Imagine railgun moros with spike being a thing in the future!


I release this team isn't looking at it, but it feels a bit like you've made the most epic steak, but there's a glass window between us and it and all we can do is drool - so can you poke management to let us eat it, please Big smile

This is not the correct place as once the grid size change goes live, in about 1 hour, this thread is likely to go dead as it is under the test server area, you would be best posting in the features and ideas section.

It would be cool to have bigger ranges, but that would mean lots of re-balancing work of all weapon systems and ships. It is not out of the realms of possibility, but I can't see it happening any time soon as we are busy working toward the Citadel release.

But please do post your idea over in the ideas and features threads so our designers can see them.

I will - but I'm not asking for bigger ranges on mods as such, but the removal of the hard cap.

On TQ today, a naga/rokh can fire out to (and likely lock to) 300-400km, but on TQ the lock ceiling blocks me ever doing this.

For reference, something like this:

Large Hybrid Locus Coordinator II

Large Hybrid Locus Coordinator I

315+49km fire range
399km lock range

Except....I get barred at 250km.


So, not a rebalance or change to the mods, just the hard cap removal. If I can EFT a fit up to lock it and hit it, I should be able to.

Less of an issue with todays small grids. Well, given the time of posting, yesterdays small grids Blink

Morrigan, Claymore already explain that his team is not responsible on area related to hard cap on target lock.

Grant I do want to see it either expand or be gone so I can play with this fit
