Greetings, test server enjoyers!

We are planning a masstest on Singularity on 23 October, from 1700 to 19:00 UTC

What exactly is being tested?

We want to have a dedicated performance test for a brand new site we’re adding for the winter expansion which is using unique graphics as well as the new mining UX. We are also interested in feedback about the gameplay of the site, as well as feedback on changes we’re making to Mining UX and mining gameplay, and other mining related features which are being introduced into the expansion.

More information about what is available to be tested is included in this post on the feature preview page.

Also check out the news item covering this here.

Keep in mind that features are still in active development, graphics, stats and design may not fully represent the final product. This is primarily a performance test, but we welcome any feedback, but bear in mind that some feedback may be impossible to action before the expansion launches.

How to connect to Singularity for this test:

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

Test Instructions:

Join the in-game channel masstesting. Read the MOTD to familiarise yourself with the mass test instructions

Join the massquestions channel to ask questions before and during the mass test.

Move yourself to FD-MLJ (type /moveme in any chat window and then select FD-MLJ the list)

Prepare 2 different ship fittings for the mass test within the FD-MLJ - MASSTEST keepstar

  • 1 mining fit, Ideally a bonused mining ship like the Venture, Mining Barge, Exhumer etc. (with mining lasers, strip miners, mining drones, etc.)
  • 1 PvP fit (with combat based modules) - We’ll shoot eachother a bunch after doing some mining.

Be boarded in your mining fit and ready to begin at 17:00 starting in FD-MLJ. Instructions will be relayed via the masstesting channel.

What else should I know?

Look closely at the visuals of the site and your mining modules, effects etc. If you noticed anything amiss, please report it via a bug report (F12) or here on the forums!

Please try and use this forum thread for bugs, defects and questions for the mass test. For feedback that is more focused on the design of the features (i.e. I think this new ship doesn’t have enough powergrid, or there isn’t enough ore in the new site) please post that in the feature preview thread.

Singularity will be open from 16:30 UTC on the day of the test. It will remain open over the weekend until Monday, 27th of October 11:00 UTC.

did you miss this update
funny thing now people are complaining that there GPU is now there bottleneck instead of the CPU

CCP please, for christs sake use this chance to buff active mining over massmultiboxed semi-afk mining.

PLEASE design "mining “crits” and “Hyperspace fractures” in a way that the miner has to actively do something that demands quick decision making and some knowledge and skill to use them to their full potential (like manual piloting to increase the hit quality on turrets…). So a very good solo/dual miner can actually outperform some semi-passive massmultiboxer.

This is YOUR CHANCE to really improve the quality of your game. Don’t throw it away!

Same. Mostly have issue with multiboxing and when my monitor goes to sleep. When I hit the ESC key for the EVE setting options or to log off to change characters, the screen goes blank. I can hear the client running in the background but I cannot pull anything back up. So I have to kill that client from the task manger to restart the client again.

They never do it. Neve! The multibox = lot of money. They dont care about single miners or who use 1-2 miner ship.
They dont give back the 3 Strip miner head. This is why the Hulk and covetor was so awesome.
They still dont made a voice line when the Strip head change to new crystal. I so love when the head just stay and “ ohh ye new crystal in it. “ -.-”. But they care about mining. xD Sure dude. Sure.
