you can run eve emulator pretty easy and upkeep few systems,your hardware dont have to be king ,latest computers could run eve online atleast few solar systems tbh,especially multi-cpu motherboards…
singularity hardware specs are not so near tranquility specs ,they dont have infinite resources and server was easy to crash when /completeextraction command was available…this is why they disabled it so players cant explode their moon chunks million times per hour,you have to start extraction and wait the all time.
after browsing older eve forums i did read there was COUPLE times when sisi was closed for public testing…all restrictions were temporary and they always reopened after thei internal testing… how long it can take?? week,two weeks eand even month is not suprise,they do not need to tell us when they gonna put it back up…
im “moderating” other large MMO based game and sometimes its nessecary to take down test server for internal tests,this happens in many other games and its standard process,there is notthing to theorycraft or speculate… real reason why you take down test server is mainly internal testing,reconfiguring server,hardware/software changes and updating game itself.
also evryone know serve duality,when they did open it for public access it did not display status online,offline or vip mode but you could connect it,server was online but server status thing was not updated,this means sisi can be in vip-mode while server status can tell you its offline…
please look there https://eve-offline.net/ as you can see singularity/duality is green while launcher shows them as offline… they are in vip mode…servers are online so dont panic please.
fly safe.
