The pilot project with the goal to reduce the amount of issues caused by supercapitals on Singularity, while still giving players the chance to test them, has not yielded the results hoped for. Therefor, in order to increase the diversity of ships being used on the test server, we have decided to discontinue the part of the programme that involved supercapitals.
This means that as of tomorrow, no supercapitals will be sped up or installed anymore. If you already have one due to the TQ mirror or previous speeding up, or if you decide to build one via the conventional way, you are still welcome to use it though.
Everything else remains the same and follows below.
We have revised some of the rules for the Doomsday Testing alliance on SiSi. You can find the original post here. Due to the rule change and since others details could do with more information, I am replacing the old post.
General outline:
The purpose of this offer is assisting players who want to test sovereignty-related gameplay, like outposts, outpost upgrades and jump bridges. This is not guaranteed and we are under no obligation to assist or fulfill requests. We usually react within 24 hours on working days, but during busy times it can take several days. Please be understanding and patient when asking for assistance with these matters.
All activities within the test alliance have to adhere to the test server rules. As an example, this means that if one corporation in the test alliance has claimed sov, another corporation within the alliance is not allowed to try and take it from them unless this is consensual. However, rule violations need to be reported here as usual.
There will be NO spawning of any items, in particular Motherships or Titans. We will not be able to assist you in setting up your control towers, onlining TCUs or give you skills.
We will create a test alliance that anyone can join - DOOMSDAY TESTING ALLIANCE. You can join with your corp if you are a CEO or as a member of DOOMSDAY TESTING EXECUTOR CORP. The alliance will claim sovereignty in the Cloud Ring region, primarily in the Prelle constellation as it has a seeded station.
Sov bumps
Once you have claimed sov in a system, you can contact CCP Shiny via EVE Mail on SiSi or post in this thread and ask for sov level and indices to be bumped. By default this will be maxed, so if you need a boost to a specific level, please state so explicitly. The rule that only the test alliance can ask for sov levels or development indexes to be boosted is being dropped for now to allow for testing on an inter-alliance level. However, this might change again if the workload gets too high. Note that sometimes you will not see the sov/indices updated in the sov overview, but it should still be updated.
Information needed: The system that needs to be boosted.
Outposts
You can ask for ownership of an outpost to be given to your corporation. The stipulation is that you need to hold sov in the system, or that sov is not claimed. However, if you do not claim sov and someone else comes along and does so, they may ask for ownership of the outpost to be transferred to them, so it is always advisable to hold sov if you want to keep the station. Please note that by default the stations have restricted access as mirrored from TQ. If you ask for an outpost, you need to set it to unrestricted once ownership has been transferred to adhere to the server rules.
Information needed: The outpost location and the corporation it should be transferred to.
