Mass Test on Singularity: Wednesday, 27th March at 1700

Greetings bug hungry Capsuleers,

We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Wednesday, March 27th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time) to test improvements to shadows and other changes.

What exactly is being tested?

• Shadows – We have made improvements to our shadow system, especially around client performance and stability, but also with small visual improvements.
• SKINS – We are making improvements to how SKINs are handled to make the systems around them more robust.
• Grids – We have been tinkering under the hood on how player positions are tracked on grid.
• We are also investigating a long-standing issue resulting in, upon undocking, ships not ending up where they expected.

Because of the nature of these changes, players are encouraged to use carriers and capitals (or anything else you manage to fit fighter squadrons into), or any ship they feel comfortable flying!

How to connect to Singularity for this test:

• Change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the top right corner of the launcher and log in as normal.
• More detailed instructions are available here.

What else should I know?
15,000 Evermarks will be rewarded on Tranquility for participating.

Unfortunately, we were not able to have Singularity mirrored before this mass test, so some Capsuleers may be unable to join ; I apologize for this oversight.

For Capsuleers that are able to join us, VIP has been lifted ; please gather in FD-MLJ, the test will be starting at 1700.

Thank you all who were able to attend and helping us identify issues ; the mass test has now concluded. If you were able to participate and noticed an issue, please report it if you have not (it’s better to have too many reports than to have an issue missed.)

Thanks again, and fly safe o7

15,000 Evermarks have been given to those who participated in the test. Thanks to everyone who took part.
