May war UI update?

[Scipio_Artelius]

Have I missed something and I’m just stupid (rhetorical question in the second bit)?

In the wardec changes devblog released in February:

War UI improvements

We are also planning a series of improvements to the war declaration UIs in the May release. These changes are still at an early stage so we don’t have any pictures for you yet, but we’ll keep you updated as we get closer to the release.

There’s nothing on updates.eveonline.com, nor a follow up devblog I can see.

Seems we aren’t too far away from the May release, so wondering if anyone else has seen anything I’ve missed relating to these UI improvements?

@CCP_Falcon FYI

I’m not really sure what the UI improvements are, but you should be able to see them on the test server now.

[MAY 2019] War declaration changes on Singularity

Hey, The last part of the war declaration changes is now available on Singularity. This includes the requirement for a War HQ for aggressive wars, cost changes, UI improvements, and mutual wars are now declared separately (it is not longer possible to switch back and forth). All details for those changes can be found in this dev blog. All functional changes should be working now and please feel free to start playing around with them, but please keep following known issues in mind: Known Issu…

Ah thanks. I’ll login to SiSi.

For those that can’t look at the changes on SiSi (eg. Alpha characters), this is what’s changed:

Defender Notification

• Now includes the name of the HQ nominated for this war

Aggressive War Declaration

• Now 4 screens
• Second screen allows the HQ to be selected
• Can select a different structure as the HQ for each war declared

Mutual War Invite

• 2 screens
• No War HQ nomination
• Select “Mutual” on the first screen (default is Aggressive)
• Click to send invite to mutual opponent

Is the high sec requirement something new or have I not been paying attention, also does that mean a corp with only a low sec upwell is not eligible? Or is it only the attackers that have that requirement.

Only attackers need a structure in highsec.

If a Corp/Alliance has a structure in space anywhere, it is war elligible (can be wardecced).

If a Corp/Alliance wants to wardec anyone though, that requires an Upwell structure to be located in highsec, so a group with a structure only in low/null/wh space cannot be an aggressor in a war.

Thanks, that makes sense.
