Grab your guns, Ma!
Apocrypha is coming! It will bring an immense amount of new stuff, tweaks, and optimizations to EVE; these will all affect how stable, smooth, and fun Fleet Fights are. We think you'll be happy with the changes we've made; of course now we need to put it to the test in a "live-like" situation! To that end we will be running a series of fleet fights on our main test server, Singularity.
These tests will begin tonight, but the more people who show up, the better. We need at least 100 pilots, preferably 400+. _________________________________ Test schedule:
Friday [March 6] @ 19:00 GMT Saturday [Dec 7] @ 19:00 GMT Monday [Dec 9] @ 19:00 GMT [Tentative] _________________________________ How to connect to Singularity for this test:
- Make a copy of the current Tranquility (TQ) client
- Visit the Sisi patch page.
- Patch the copied client to the Singularity build
- Login to the singularity test server
- Join the in-game channel "FleetTesting"
- Disable brackets | Read here if you're not sure how
- Listen for instructions and ask questions in-channel
What exactly is being tested?
- First part of the test will focus on Fleet vs. Fleet open combat
- Second we will move the engagement to a pre-setup Starbase (POS)
- You should pay attention to your FPS (use ctrl+f to view in-game)
- Anyone able to use multiple accounts is strongly encouraged to bring your alts!
- CCP and ISD will be on hand prior to the test to help move players to the starting location
- Don't forget to fill out the feedback thread after the test (links will be clearly posted at the end of the test!)
What should I bring?
- You will want a Battleship, carrier, dread, or support ship
- Fit drones!
- Use weapon grouping
- Spider tanks 4tw

A test that is actually on a time I can show up on? Good heavens, the world must be ending! I'll try my best to be there! ----- Why doesn't anyone ever read the forums before posting? EVE is a game of adaptation and planning. Adapt or die. |

- T3 ships will be fine, though we do want a good mix!
- Mac patches are already available here
- Skills will not be altered specially for this test
- Using logserver while on the test servers is always recommended!

I can bring an already skilled char to it, if you want lag just drop off a hel in my hangar in FD and i'll be sure to bring remote reps and lots of drones ;)
*ninja edit*
I might be able to grab my brother along aswell, his PC only meets the requirements for the SM2 portion of the client so will be able to see them both alongside each other performance wise --------- Liberty Rogues Site[/center]

Actually, with people requesting Motherships that can actually fly one (me included), it might not be a bad idea to perhaps seed some on the FD-MLJ market just for this event (or wherever the testing will take place). The more drones and fighers we have out, the more we stress the server afterall.
And to agree with a previous poster, I might actually be able to attend some of this testing... depends on when I get out of work. --- AMD 64 4400+ X2 (Dual-Core) 4GB Corsair XMS Memory (2336) ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (1.09 Bios) GeForce 7800GTX 256 Megs; eVGA brand Windows XP Pro and Vista Ultimate 64-bit (Dual-Boot) |

Agreed with the yay for actually being able to get on for the test. Quick reminder for those of us that forget easily/don't ever run it, how we get logserver running?

A little earlier it would tell you to "upgrade" to build 83525 or somesuch, so I figure CCP is currently "patching" Singularity to 83552, and that's still in progress.
I wouldn't worry, have a little patience.

Er..yike?
Has something gone wrong at your end CCP? My connection is now only 20% utilised and I'm down to 222kB/s. I won't even make the test at that speed.
Edit:Weird. It just went back to 1.2MB/s. Been fighting networks all day at work and now this -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)

The download was corrupt. Now it won't come down any faster than 200kB/s which appears to be a limit at CCP's end.
I shan't be on the test after all. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)
