Hey everyone. Making a new thread for this so that we can have all the info at the top.

As in previous years Tourney Captains should use the slash command "/setpassword" in chat to set the password for their dedicated practice system. When you set the password you will get confirmation of your system and that the password is set in a popup.
Tournament team pilots can then use the "Enter Starbase Forcefield Password" option in the right click menu on their ship to enter the password to allow them to get access to a password protected system.
Please Note : We are going to be pushing some market updates this afternoon, so please bear with us on that.
***THIS NEXT PART IS IMPORTANT & DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS YEARS SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY***
Please assume that we WON'T be keeping Duality at parity with TQ.
What this means is you need to make a copy of your current TQ client install and keep it separate from your normal TQ client install which you will be updating.
Once you have made that copy this is how you make it "Duality ready"...
Create a shortcut to your "Duality client" exefile.exe, which resides in the GÇ£binGÇ¥ folder of your copy Eve install. After making the shortcut, right click on it and go to GÇ£PropertiesGÇ¥. From there, add GÇ£ /server:DualityGÇ¥, without the quotes, to the GÇ£TargetGÇ¥. If you open it up and the launcher appears, you did the shortcut to GÇ£eve.exeGÇ¥ and youGÇÖre bad at following directions. ;)
Please reply in this thread with any issues, or contact me and I'll do my best to address them.
A couple additional notes:
We will only be updating Duality very rarely. Although Duality is running the same client version as TQ right now, that will change very soon (July 22nd if not sooner). This means that you need to be careful NOT to update your Duality copy of EVE unless we instruct you to.
We advise teams to make a copy of the current Duality client folder to distribute to their members who mess this up.To repeat: If you run eve.exe or the launcher from your Duality folder after next week, it will update to a newer version than Duality supports your and your Duality client will no longer work. So don't do that.Unfortunately we will not be able to intentionally place teams near their practice partners this year (sorry about getting your hopes up in the evemails). The locations of each team's passworded system are semi-randomly generated from the same set of systems used last year.
Some of the additional non-alliance member characters that you requested will not be able to connect quite yet. We're working on getting that solved for you.
Market seeding isn't working correctly yet, we're working on that.
