The parts that are ready are being released

"The Kronos release, coming out on June 3rd, will include all other features announced in development blogs and during the EVE Online keynote at Fanfest, such as the 3 new Mordu's Legion ships, the new advanced mining frigate, changes to low sec sites and faction warfare, new warp-in effects, rebalanced and redesigned ships, drone rebalance, faction themed stations and sound customization. "

Rather have things perfected rather than half baked, its about typical but I had just finished writing my unofficial patch notes for Kronos blog post a few days ago looks like I need to go back and do a bit of heavy editing.

what happens to the highsec compression and refining array? are we gonna have to wait 6 weeks for that as well?

Does this mean that the changes to anchoring pos's in high sec are getting pushed back?

...so... no highsec pos refining and compression array for another 6 weeks?

Does this mean that the changes to anchoring pos's in high sec are getting pushed back?

I'd imagine July as it's apart of the industrial changes

It would be nice to know what is being looked at and what has already been discarded.

While there will be lots of disapointment over the push back, this is CLEARLY better than releasing a huge set of changes that were not properly tested.

While i don't mind the changes being pushed back. it's disappointing that i'm gonna have to wait so long to start raping up my industry again. I intentionally slowed down my cap production for the very reason of these industry changes.

Also PLEASE post a blog about what is and is not going into this patch now. are the mineral balances still being implemented? what about squalor compression and the compression array?

Crius? or do you mean Kronos?

Any word on what's going to be done with offline POSes in high sec (if anything) come Crius?

Good by me. I was getting worried that you weren't going to release the data and changes on sisi in time to test third party tools. Can you give an estimate for when we can expect this? I would really like to get an updated version of iph up when the patch goes live and sisi testing will be key to that.

Thanks

Hopefully this means the API changes for the new industry stuff are going to definitely make the release, it sounded like at FF they might follow afterwards.

Does it also mean that everything visual, audio and graphical industry related stuff will be moved to 22 July as well ?

So... last expansion of old release cycle is even smaller than before? Well, that's... interesting.

Freighter and Jump Freighter rebalancing - Kinda industry, but also ship rabalancing...

Kronos or Crius??

Glad to see that there will be time to tweak the things that have been mentioned as needing a bit of work. From memory, I think those are:

1) POS - the new lowsec array and making the arrays have some sort of cost thingie
2) Copying - Figuring out the correct formula and other tweeks needed (e.g. capital component bpc amounts increasing)_
3) Correct application of these changes to t2 bpos

Any others?

Thank you RubberBand, I was just looking for some kind of bullet point list showing what was going to be in Kronos and what was moved to Crius.

As an aside, are there any parts of the industry revamp that can be released earlier? Or have they all been integrated into each other as some sort of giant black box where no piece functions without the others? From an outside point of view, several of the things look like they could be released on their own without the others to let us slowly build up to the full suite.

I also see no mention of where the anchoring IV change for Starbase Defense Management has gone. I assume it's a Kronos change though... (Btw, would be nice for gunnery skills to effect starbase modules, it would make up for the few stat upgrades they've had over the years. A renaming of the guns to indicate their ammo usage wouldn't be too unwelcome as well, as they all use the size up from their name. Small = Medium, etc...)
