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
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.
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?
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!

Interesting ; if you (or the person who found it) hasn’t submitted a bug report, I ask that you do so we can dig through the logs and see if we can figure out what’s happening. Thanks for the report, I’ll see what we can do and try to determine what the issue is.
Sorry if this has been submitted already (I took a look when I read this just now but didn’t see it), but if you have an instance where this has occurred and can submit a bug report it would help us a lot with trying to track this down.
We have a lead that we are currently investigating and hope to have it solved soon™ ; thanks to everyone who made reports, it was super integral to the investigation of the issue.
@Aandala_Uanid, You are correct, they are known issues ; we’ve updated the known issue thread to reflect that, apologies for the confusion.
@Beaute_Suprenate , this has also been added to the known issues and is something we are working on getting fixed , apologies for the confusion.
Apologies if the formatting of this messaging is confusing as well, I’m not hugely comfortable with the forum tools but the website did ask me not to spam replies, so I am attempting to comply.
Read moreThat appears to be correct (the bug report, not the behaviour); we’ll get this cleaned up.
Thanks for the report ; it does look like the Capital Compressors are not properly scaling their range with the skill, we’ll get this looked at.
Hi Capsuleers,
Apologies about the missed blueprints for the new Compressor modules, we have updated the known issues and are working on it.
Greetings Capsuleers,
On Tuesday, 15th of June at 1700 UTC, we will be conducting a Mass Test to ensure that the new Black Ops changes are up to expectations before release on Tranquility; if you are willing and able, please join us for some sneaky jumps and spooky group fun times.

Read moreAh, apologies, the wording wasn’t very good; there was an issue where calls to gate cloaked fleet members weren’t being respected. Good call, I’ll clean those up.
To everyone who participated, there was a small hiccup on our end but the skillpoints should be coming through shortly.
To paraphrase Moltke the Elder, the purpose of this round of tests is to see what happens when our ideas get in front of the players; with that spirit in mind, there are no recommendations for ships and fits beyond what you can fly and / or like to fly (although something with a sub-minute align time is always appreciated, since we will be warping around.)

Greetings Capsuleers,
On Tuesday, 23rd of February at 1700 UTC, we will be conducting a Mass Test to ensure that the new Fleet Formations are up to expectations before release on Tranquility; if you are willing and able, please join us for some flying in formation fun times.
Please note, we have mirrored Singularity on the 15th of February, so if you were unable to join the previous mass test, please check to see if you are able and interested in joining this one.
The basic breakdown of the new ESS system is that in systems with the ESS present, a portion of it is sent to the bank; if no one steals it, it’s paid back to you. However, if the jackpot gets juicy enough, people will try to take it and there will be many a gud fite for the loot.
There’s also a smaller reserve bank that doesn’t empty and just keeps building until someone tries to break into it with a key; that feature will open up a bit further down the road (to get those sweet sweet payouts built up… or something far more sinister? dun dun Duuuuuun!)
Hope that cleared it up a bit for you; once you play around with it a little, I think (hope) you’ll find it’s pretty intuitive.
Read moreNo sarcasm at all; EVE players are amazing at finding holes and exploiting systems, it was one of the things that drew me to the game and the work.
As for hoping you’ll tell us, I can always dream.
We certainly hope so!
Howdy Space Cowboys,
You probably haven’t heard, but we have a little tweak coming out to the Encounter Surveillance System and a new system coming out called the Dynamic Bounty System.
Well, if you’re interested in what little ol’ CCP has been up to, good news! It’s now up on Singularity, ready to be used and abused by all of our very clever pants players.
For more information about what the new systems are and what they’re up to, check out the dev blogs linked below:
Remember to fly safe, bring a bagged lunch and don’t forget your sweater; it’s cold out in space.
Read moreThis may be related to the changes we made to fuel consumption use by the Tactical Recloner; it now consumes fuel blocks based on which Super Carrier it is mounted to. I’ll take another quick look to make sure we didn’t accident anything up, but let me know if it looks like that may be your issue.
