Sounds great! I hope that after the ATX, you'll keep the Faction ships.mods, Deadspace mods seeded in SiSi. It was frustrating to want to test out a faction ship before I buy it in TQ but find that the ship wasn't seeded in my area. And I agree with you, Officer mods should probably not be seeded, at least for now. I wouldn't mind seeing them seeded afterwards though.

We will keep faction ships, but it is unlikely we will keep faction or deadspace mods. I will be monitoring the useage closely though to see how much of an effect it has, and as always feedback is encouraged!

just logged onto sisi, will this happen after the next DT for sisi?

Thank you very much for the faction ammo seeding.

Would it be possible to change the position on unique ship seeding? They have been seeded on sisi before with no negative effects that I saw. And their seeding would be very useful for many tournament teams.

Hi Sisi fans,
Since we also need to seed some extra ships and ammo, we are going to have a test run of seeding EVERYTHING

1.2. Faction, COSMOS, deadspace and officer modules are NOT allowed.

Am I the only one to see a contradiction ?

Anyway welcome to the summer circus on Sisi.

Question, and I'm mostly coming at this from a position of ignorance so excuse me if the question is daft. If a team is going to use one of the unique ships in the tournament, wouldn't they already have it (or the blueprint) on TQ ergo have it on Sisi?

But the other teams need to practice against them in order to know what they're up against.
And also a lot of trading of unique ships has happened since the last mirror according to what I'm seeing. So there's teams missing their uniques on sisi.

Does this mean there is going to be another mirror? cause i would like to be able to access Sisi, but missed the mirror last time due to me coming back to EVE!!! >:

In terms of practise, I would argue that those teams in possession of the ships would have earned the right to having a bit of a secret weapon. I will talk to the tournament coordinators and game design on Monday and see what they say, but I would think that it's unlikely to happen.

The seeding isn't only for the alliance tournament people. Many people use Sisi on a regular basis and this is a trial run to see how they use faction, deadspace and storyline mods. It's also much less maintenance to have a shorter restriction list.

That is saying I don't mind people trying random stuff or just randomly shooting each other on Sisi, but it shouldn't become the risk-free private server for everything.

I'm seeing the opinion that I thought I would, and can't say I'm surprised that most players don't want these items seeded. I assume you guys have no issue with faction ammo and ships?

Here's another idea, in 0.0 where the pirates are faction X, faction X items are seeded in the market. Since these items are somewhat readily available in the real server (as long as you rat enough), why not make them available as seeded items on the test server?

There's no point, no value, no learning, no fun to test any faction module (and ship, btw), if everyone also use them. It just shifts the rules, balance and feeling of the game to a lesser, very small, portion of viable ships and tactics (look at the kills from the last few days on the sisi unofficial killboards, it's not hard to see that there's only a very few ships that dominate the full-faction-fitted world).

As far as I'm concerned, we should be removing stuff from the 100isk market, not adding any new stuff, to try to get some ship diversity back in the combat system.

(imho, *empire* faction ammo & navy cap charges sound ok, they are almost mandatory on TQ anyway)

I beg to differ, this is the *test* server, and therefore players should be able to test nearly every aspect of the game.
