We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Tuesday, September 5th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!
What exactly is being tested?
Improved turret firing effects
First look at the new Refineries, the Tatara and the Athanor
Verifying a backend configuration change - should have no impact
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:
(not final yet)
Meet in FD-MLJ at a Tatara
Undock and warp to X-BV98
Jump to X-BV98.
Warp to an Athanor
Sub-capitals: Dock at Athanor
Undock
Shoot the Athanor
Fleet W: Jump to Poitot + setup gate camp.
Fleet X: Jump to Poitot + fight at the gate
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
Bring preferably a sub-capital ships with turrets - Beams, Pulses, Railguns, Blasters, Artillery, Autocannons
what i have noticed on my system (i5, 16gb, gtx 770)
-mass undock fps is about 28
-mass shooting fps is about 16
-on sun (no ships) fps is about 60
-taking screenshot (PrintScreen) causes fps drop to 1, after a couple of seconds it restores
-i’ve got 4 different type of lenses and 4 different guns, 2 T1 and 2 T2
Aurora (red) Imperial Navy Standart (yellow) Multifrequency (White) and Scorch (Magenta)
i saw first three colored beams from my ship and didn’t see Magenta.
-several short minor lags (about a second) but i think it is normal for 400 ships battle
2 million skill points have been added to 576 participating characters on Singularity! Thank you for helping with the mass test!
Flechette: Hmmm, what kind of notification would work for you, at which time? For this mass test the forum thread was posted on Friday, the news message was sent on Monday. I think a message in the launcher was displayed a few hours before the mass test.
