We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Thursday, September 28th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!
What exactly is being tested?
New moon mining and
New refineries
Updated graphics for asteroids
Client and server performance
How to connect to Singularity for this test:
Change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the upper left corner of the launcher and log in as normal. More detailed instructions are available here.
Test steps:
Meet in FD-MLJ at an Athanor
Undock
Watch moon chunk explosion
Mine asteroids from chunk explosion
Warp to an asteroid belt
Warp to Ice belt
Optional: Change ship from mining ship to combat ship
Warp to X-BV98 gate
Check the personal mining ledger
Jump to X-BV98.
Warp to an Tatara
Shoot + kill the Tatara
FFA fight
What else should I know?
Use the command /moveme to be moved to the start system FD-MLJ
2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test
For the first part please be in a ship with a fitted mining laser or mining drone (you can use a proper mining setup or some mixed fitting) - you can switch the ship in the middle of the test
For the later part of the test please be in a combat ship - and it would be great to see quite a few missile ships.
We have not decided yet, if mining equipment will be needed for this mass test. For the case that mining equipment is required a regular miner I should be sufficient, which can be trained within a few minutes. I’ll update this forum thread as soon as I know more.
The test steps have been updated and yes, we would like to have some mining gear for the first part of the test (a simple mining drone or a Miner I would be sufficient).
Hi CCP,
I will not be able to participate in the mass test.
I did have a quick look. New explosion looks really good.
My only feedback is (if you haven’t changed it yet) the asteroid field after extraction and explosion is still very symmetrical. Just looks like a ball. As I said not sure if you have changed that yet.
Thanks Regards
By the time I actually made it to the conspicuous Athanor at 20:00 server, all that was left was the next piece of a moon being tractored towards the mining citadel.
Did all the ‘chunks’ get picked in a feeding frenzy, or do these despawn in two hours, like cans?
Hey!
Thanks for participating in this mass test! It was great indeed (and your bug reports are currently being investigated)!
I added 2 million skill points to 494 participating characters. 297 of those characters also participated successfully in mining the asteroids from the moon mining event and are listed now in the CCP corporate mining ledger on Singularity.
Several asteroids were still left from the mass test, when I checked 5 minutes ago. In the current version on Singularity they despawn after 24 hours, but this will be increased with the next update to 2 days (if I remember correctly) and can be increased further with one of the rigs.
