Is it intentional that the sov switches only after downtime even when the TCU is already online or is it a bug?

Someone tell me why in gods name you can anchor a tower near a Damned FLAG?

This completely defeats the removal of POS warfare from the game ( which according to CCP itslef was NEVER designed to go where it did...so you let people anchor a POS by a flag...why ?

So they've mirrored and not given the freeby faction ships under redeem items anymore.

Count me out

faction ships should be least they can do so people don't mind losing stuff until the next mirror.

We need some pilots to volunteer and help us test the new Sovereignty system. The test will take place this Friday, October 30, 2009, it will start at 17:00 GMT/UTC on Singularity but we highly encourage you to show up early so we can get you set up in the test Corporations and Alliances. Here is a breakdown of the event:

Try to arrive early!

Oh and if you didn't notice, we highly encourage you to show up early!

I'm trying but guess what:
1 - There was no patch for the 6.20.103466 (one of the latest build for sisy)
2 - After making a new copy, client was saying, new build is 1.4mb, sounded good, but when i went to download page, altough after entering my current version and the page displayed that the patch was indeed 1.4mb, after pressing download, the patch was 640mb afterall
3 - The download speed is ridiculous, 300kb using 4 segments.

So i'm going to take a bath, clean the house, get drunk, maybe after all that the patch is downloaded, and if nothing goes wrong, i'll join the blue team.

Just had a VERY cool but simple idea. Gonna post it here and in ideas forum.

Can we Give Sov claimed Systems an additional Custom Name/Description, simply that comes up underneath the info on screen when you are in system, under the True name perhaps. It's sooo inline with CCP's desire for descriptive not prescriptive sov.

The name/desc could be used in any number of ways, up to the holders.

* Bob (rip) could have Named their capital Home solersystem.
* If an alliance gives Corps their own home systems and mark them appropriately.
* Borders can have warning written in to turn back lost pilots. "Entering Ushra Kaan's space, leave now or die"
* CVA could put the KOS checker in the Desc.
* NRDS alliances could declare that, and even corden off some space that isnt NRDS marking it in the desc.

see how good something simple can be!

this is kinda the whole point of these changes.

Thats not to say some of the mega alliances wont remain, however, I forsee a mass emo quit of many players should thier soverignty be stripped from them in the name of "evolution"

such alliances are able to dominate 0.0 because of their military power. it will be harder after dominion for sure, but in the end if such allainces want a system, they will still be able to take it.

Sorry for the dumb question, but are Director roles enough to have the entiere corp joining? (Just in case our CEO cannot make it)

Here is a breakdown of the event:

Try to arrive early!

We will give a short demo on how Sovereignty works in the new system, and divide players into two teams (Red vs. Blue).

The teams will then play test the new sovereignty mechanics and structures. Don't worry, CCP Staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide directions.

Corporations and Alliances will be set up ahead of time so make sure that at the time of the test you are fully able to leave your corporation and join the test corporation (roles removed etc.) or if you have the proper roles, like CEO, we can have your entire corporation join one of the test alliances for the duration of this test.

The testing event should take about 2-3 hours to complete.

We are looking to get as much feedback from you as possible during this period.

[*]And then promptly ignoring it, because like our new pirate ships we don't care if they make in-game backstory or combat balancing sense

So if you have any questions please post them here. We look forward to you helping out and test these new mechanics!

Oh and if you didn't notice, we highly encourage you to show up early!

Fixed. Yeah I'm trolling, butthurt, etc.

ccp looking good will try to get on some more info on where we should go of planets to be in or do we just meet up in fd- and get shifted around from there ? well either way looks good the 300m per month fee for each system with sov held seems fair and reasonable

Mega alliances are going to complain u will simply see them setup alt corps and alliances or rent out their non core systems to smaller blue entities.

There might be a house of cards cascade but 00 does need to be flushed to a adgree. The other thing might be if its a fixed 300m and not a escalating cost is the large alliances will simply allocate systems for their renters to operate and patrol in. And rent the systems for 300m per month to cover the cost. So unless its escalating more u own the more u pay for each additional one theres ways around it

I know the test server isn't that robust, but last time was a disaster. I'd love to volunteer to help test things CCP, but I don't get paid and am therefor unwilling to spend hours trying to get on just to help.

Wow some of you have far to little faith in CCP. The new sov system has clearly been very well planned and thought out, and they wouldn't be making such a change unless it was for the best. Stop whining about how change is bad and just roll with it, eve can't evolve without change.

You can't spell 'evolve' without 'eve'. Well, sort of, but that's only if you jumble it up a bit.... =P

Maybe you people are just really dumb, I don't know. But tests occur at the time that is most convinient for CCP and its employees. Not at the time that is most convinient for you personally.

Who cares what ccp wants? They want to change how sov works. This is major game change. Alliances should be given large windows to learn how to work it.

I kind of agree, because this isn't like changing fitting on a rifter. (although a bit more CPU would be nice) The new sovereignty system has been propped up as something to bring people into lowsec and with upkeep, possibly cripple the alliances in existence now.

Of course, without CCP we wouldn't be doing the test now would we? :P

So only European players will get to review it? This should please the Russian and US Alliances.

tbh I've pretty much lost faith in the new sov system now.

Out with the old, in with the imbalanced and broken in different ways that doesn't live up to the promises.

We will give a short demo on how Sovereignty works in the new system, and divide players into two teams (Red vs. Blue).

In what form will the demo be? Should I keep an eye on the youtube channel? DevBlogs? EVE Voice or somthing else?
And by the way, they should really separate sigs from the main post.

No matter what day they pin it on, there will always be people who have to work, and during week-ends a lot of people will have plans not containing eve.
Friday evening does have alot of appeal due to people logging on to relax after a tedious week :D.

Still some more info as to what exactly will happen, and should be prepared would be nice :D, that way some players can set-up in advance and arrive closer to the planned time.
But ofc CCP's call, just an idea i'm having :D.

Can't wait till friday.

Why is this scheduled on a Friday and not a saturday, sunday? Most people still work or go out for a beer during that time. Or are all Eve players workless?

Will have to pass on this one.

is there going to be a mac client before this test? mac users missed capital test day, and it would be a shame if we missed this test as well.

We need some pilots to volunteer and help us test the new Sovereignty system. The test will take place this Friday, October 30, 2009, it will start at 17:00 GMT/UTC on Singularity but we highly encourage you to show up early so we can get you set up in the test Corporations and Alliances. Here is a breakdown of the event:

Try to arrive early!

We will give a short demo on how Sovereignty works in the new system, and divide players into two teams (Red vs. Blue).

The teams will then play test the new sovereignty mechanics and structures. Don't worry, CCP Staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide directions.

Corporations and Alliances will be set up ahead of time so make sure that at the time of the test you are fully able to leave your corporation and join the test corporation (roles removed etc.) or if you have the proper roles, like CEO, we can have your entire corporation join one of the test alliances for the duration of this test.

The testing event should take about 2-3 hours to complete.

We are looking to get as much feedback from you as possible during this period.

So if you have any questions please post them here. We look forward to you helping out and test these new mechanics!

Oh and if you didn't notice, we highly encourage you to show up early!
