nah its not weapon grouping.
wiki:
"The secondary fire of the Link Gun allows you to 'link up' with other team-mates currently wielding a Link Gun. When doing this, your plasma will turn the colour of your team. The person who is being linked up will receive a power boost to their shots (about twice the damage) and their plasma turns yellow. The more people that link up to them, the more powerful their shots get."

so its a new feature of 1.5 release

I still suck very much at even finding a step-by-step instruction for getting on there. Yes, I am paranoid as hell about screwing up my game and having to redownload it. I've had enough problems all summer.

Just read it, for some reason I'm thick and it doesn't really help me.

I have nothing but the regular Eve. Do I have to make a new folder for the Test server, where do I have to put this folder, and do I just highlight the Eve fold and copy it.

Step by Step

1. Copy your Entire contents of Eve Folder (Not the folder itself).
2. Create new Folder anywhere on your computer, call it what you want.
3. Paste entire contents into said newly created folder.
4. Find the latest TQ-Sisi patch on the website, download it and then run it. When prompted, point it to your NEW folder.
5. Create a shortcut to the new eve client you have (The eve.exe in the new folder)
6. Edit the Shortcut so that the "Target" field has /server:87.237.38.50 at the end (After "C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\Evetest\eve.exe" [Note this is just an example]) so it should look like "C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\evetest\eve.exe" /server:87.237.38.50 in full. The directory may be different depending on where you initialy made the new folder.

Np. I just read through the how to connect to the test server part too and I could have swore there was a set of steps like Blane posted so as to not mess up your primary install.

Maybe Mitnal would have explained it better?

Oh and while copying the Eve Folder all I can think of is this.

And believe me, when I saw this thread the first thing I did was look for the sticky on how to install it.

Yeah Zym dropped the ball on that one. I can see it now on the first test day right after the event is over and the forums overlflow with 'wtf I can't connect to tq and I'm on a limited bandwith isp and now I gotta dl 2 gigs??!??!!!RAWR!!!' poasts of DOOM.

Also xkcd ftw.

Actually you should be able to join a faction in Sisi, as long as you have standings for that.

Two questions about this:
a) is there a fresh copy of our live-toons on Sisi? (trained subsystems last and like to have them on Sisi too)
b) I have a inactive alt-acc and might buy a PLEX for him if I get 5 days free (or even just 1 hour *g*) so I can activate him ingame. Might this be posible? If yes I can dual-acc on one PC for this test.


PS: It's not, that I want any free playtime ... I just need any way to use a PLEX I bought ingame for this second acc.
And the only way I know is to have this acc active for some minutes (need to fly to the station where the PLEX is located).

PPS: I re-activated this acc about 2 weeks ago and changed my PW. Trying to connect to Sisi it says "PW incorect". So there doesn't seem to be a fresh copy :(.

There are now two corporations for the FW test to which you can apply to. They both have an office in the station in the Alparena system where the test takes place.

There's something wrong with shield resistances.
I've got lower shield resistances on active modules on the test server than i am having on the real server.
What's wrong ?

*i have the same skills on both servers that affect shields..
