Hey all,
All previously known issues and text changes have been completed now and Singularity has been updated with the latest version (only a few bug fixes for edge cases are still missing, mostly around joining and leaving alliances while at war).
It would be great, if you could take a look at the feature, if you are either experienced with war declarations, or just interested in them. Please send bug reports for everything related to these changes which looks wrong (for example also including typos in the new texts). It would also be great to hear through a bug report, if you find any particular ways to abuse these feature changes (which you might not want to spell out here in this forum).
Regarding the discussion about multiple War HQs: We discussed this also once more within the team, but we decided to stick for now with the current design of allowing multiple War HQs for different wars. On one hand it would have probably opened up several problematic edge cases and on the other hand the benefit of a single HQ for all wars is even not as large for the defenders. They can still hit the War HQs together, the wars are just not ending at the same time, when one of the War HQs explodes (assuming the attacker splits the War HQs). But we will for sure keep on eye on this, on how this part of the feature will be used.
Nearly everything is implemented as in the original dev blog, but here a list of various UI changes, which were included and which are mostly aimed at informing players better about ongoing wars and preventing accidental losses:
- New “War Info” tab in the corporation window under the Wars tab, which gives explanations about war declarations and the current status for your corp
- New “War History” tab in the corporation window under the Wars tab, which displays previous wars and currently enforced peace periods due to surrenders and War HQ explosions.
- New “Mutual War Invites” tab in the corporation window under the Wars tab, which shows all the current incoming or outgoing mutual war invites. Here you can also find a toggle to block incoming mutual war invites.
- The general “Kill Reports” tab for corporations was moved out of the “Wars” tab into the “Home” tab of the corporation window.
- Improved the war history section in the show info window for corporations and alliances
- Updated and improved the war report
- Added a “Wars” tab to the show info window of Upwell structures, if they are a War HQ
- Added an icon + tooltip to structure entries in the structure browser, if they are a War HQ
- Added icon (including tooltip) about currently ongoing war decs to the character selection screen.
- Added icon (including tooltip) about currently ongoing war decs to the crimewatch timers section in the top left of the screen.
- Added icon (including tooltip) about currently ongoing war decs to the character sheet
- Added suppressible popup at undock in High Sec, while being involved in a war.
