New quadrant

So, here we are - first day of the new quadrant, it’s almost lunchtime in Reykjavik and the silence is deafening!

Shouldn’t we at least know the theme?

Do they even stick to the theme? PVP quadrant that did mining changes, major market changes, added more level 2 missions, etc. I don’t think the theme even matters.

I agree the content wasn’t particularly well aligned with the “fight or flight” theme but at least they mentioned it! If they announced a trailer, it wasn’t here on the forums (unless it’s well hidden).

There’s a concept in information management called “single source of truth”. CCP needs to tell us where that SSOT is and use it consistently - by all means link to other forums but finding publicly announced information shouldn’t be a game of hide and seek!

quad·rant
/ˈkwädrənt/

noun: quadrant ; plural noun: quadrants

  1. TECHNICAL

    • each of four quarters of a circle.
    • each of four parts of a plane, sphere, space, or body divided by two lines or planes at right angles.
    • “the right upper quadrant of the kidney”

  2. HISTORICAL

    • an instrument used for taking angular measurements of altitude in astronomy and navigation, typically consisting of a graduated quarter circle and a sighting mechanism.

  3. a frame fixed to the head of a ship’s rudder, to which the steering mechanism is attached.

    • a panel with slots through which a lever is moved to orient or otherwise control a mechanism.

Does CCP’s use of “Quadrant” in this fashion bug anyone else? I guess I get it in that they are trying to say this is the 2nd something of 4 somethings… But every time I read this announcement it’s like hitting a lexical speed bump… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It has to do with their stupid “Agile” crap no doubt. It works for them so it should work for us too I guess.

Yes, it does.

In some IT organizations we now using the term like 20Q2 or 20.2 as the next quarter. Maybe CCP is trying to be fancy by calling it Quadrant 2 instead of Quarter 2 (Q2).
(I say this because somehow I missed Quadrant 1 in their news. But we are going into Q2)
