In abyssal PVP, the boosters will be blocked based on their meta level, the filaments have meta level restrictions which will stop them from being bought into the abyssal arena.

X-1 & X-2 = Allowed in all formats. (Meta 0)
X-3 = Allowed in Meta fit formats. (Meta 3)
X-4 = Allowed in T2 fit formats. (Meta 5)
X-5 = Allowed in only faction/unrestricted formats. (Meta 6)

You lose the boosters on pod death so using them in the abyssal arena gives you a good chance of dying with it. It only lasts 4 hours (So you can’t use it forever), they have 1 week expiry timers with you getting 1 every 3 days it seems. So you can’t really stack a bunch in your redeem queue ready to go.

They also all share the same booster slot (Slot 5) so you can’t stack them together.

Having multiple accounts does not really help in the proving grounds. Since you want all the wins on a single character to get the top 100 leaderboard rewards, so it doesn’t make sense for people to rotate through their accounts to abuse t...

Didn’t get DC’d between 23:50 to 00:20, was running traceroute the entire time and this was the route.

Trace complete.

I was using NordVPN, I imagine most VPNs should work fine though, maybe you can use one with a free trial.

Yeah I used a VPN with a UK server and that completely solved the disconnects for me.

Also experincing the same issues as everyone else with virginmedia, same problematic route.

Some feedback regarding the new NPE on SISI.

Issues:

1. It’s possible to destroy Elias (The Orca NPC) using smartbombs from another ship. I probed my alt in the NPE mining site with my main and smartbombed him to destroy him, this didn’t break the scenario though and he left no wreck/loot behind so nothing breaking there.

2. https://i.imgur.com/ekID5HE.png I don’t know if this is specific to my UI, but the station services panel was covering up the ‘inject skills’ button when Aura asks you to use your unallocated skillpoints to train the mining upgrades skill. Could be confusing for a new player.

3. https://i.imgur.com/nfm7850.jpeg When Aura asks me to warp to mining site, her window was covering up the ‘warp to location button’. I’m not sure if this is because I moved her conversation window to that point before hand though. This could be confusing.

4. Both times I warped to the mining site initially, it didn’t work, no interactions happened, I had to relog to get the cinematic and conver...

Sounds Great

How many players did you have in the ESS? The number provided is divided equally by all players.

The numbers provided to the CSM were much higher.

The payout should be vastly greater than 15 million ISK.
