How long do you plan to let this go on for before you fix things CCP? its kind of gone beyond the bugfix 'lets do some tests on sisi' stage, don't you think? lol
I'm pretty sure we won this fight and I don't think I've lost my ship, I just didn't get to shoot at anything.
30+ mins of nothing
There was a special test on TQ on Wed specifically to test the grid loading issues. Not many people showed up. They are going to repeat the test this Saturday.

Saturday March 6th @ 17:00 GMT
*** We appologize for the extreme short notice about the test on Wednesday, but we felt it was better to get this into testing ASAP so that if it works, we can get it out to TQ faster. ***
Getting player participation is very important to these tests, for two main reasons. First because some issues only become apparent when very large numbers of people are in one place, such as fleet fights. Second because we very much want to get input and feedback from you, the players of EVE, on how well the new expansions and changes perform, but also what you think about new features, changes, etc.
Here's some basic info for you all:
How to connect to Singularity for this test:
* Make a copy of the current Tranquility (TQ) client
* Visit the Sisi patch http://www.eveonline.com/patches/patches.asp?s=singularity page.
* Patch the copied client to the Singularity build
* Create a shortcut to eve.exe, edit the properties of the shortcut by adding the following to the "target" box: " /server:singularity" (note the space)
* Login to the singularity test server
* Join the in-game channel "MassTesting"
* People can join the channel "MoveMe" to be moved to the test area
* Listen for instructions and ask questions in-channel
What exactly is being tested?
Fleet fight & Session changes:
* Test will take place in FD-MLJ
* Players will be seperated into two fleets, X and W
* First, fleet X will move into an adjacent system, while fleet W sets up a gate camp in FD-MLJ
* Fleet X will then jump into Fleet W - NO COMBAT will happen yet!
* Secoond, Fleet X will move into different system adjacent to FD-MLJ
* Fleet X will then jump into Fleet W, again - This time we fight it out!
What do I need to do exactly?
* Try running logServer, read here http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=585921 if you're not sure how.
* You will want to bring a fleet-setup dread, carrier, BS or smaller.
* 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!
What else should I know?
* CCP staff 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!)
* CCP staff and ISD will be on hand prior to the test to help move players to the starting location
