As someone who has been on Duality and tried testing, screwing with this prototype feature...
Before I start, I have had to do this with alts and all on the one PC, so this may present some problems. All I can relate is my experience.
1. Dojo is obtained by redeem feature atm.
2. Dojo's are easy to deploy, just like the mobile base with HUGE cargo capacity.
3. Easy to stock, just drag the stuff from your cargo to its cargo as normal.
4. You can warp to the Dojo without the need for scanning them down, they show up in local plain as day.
5. you can enter the Dojo finder/match making system when you are in space or docked in station, a local station.
6. All local Dojo's show up in the match maker, you select your Dojo and your preferred fit from those available in the Dojo interface [I just stocked it with 400mm plate rifters cause I am lazy.] and hit the ready button. From there both of my combatant alts got stuck in GÇ£Match Found...StandbyGÇ¥ limbo. So thatGÇÖs as far as I can talk about that. Later after the Warp to experiment was concluded, I was not able to warp out of the GÇ£instanceGÇ¥ to either station or an out gate or any other celestial. I was able to activate all modules but the ship did not move or respond in any other way. I had to exit both clients to leave the match making limbo. Logging back on with the combatants they spawned in space and warped back to the approximate location of the arena created for their match.
F**king with Dojo's
1. You can warp right to them they show up in local.
2. You can use combat probes to scan down the ships [in this case Rifter frigates] inside the GÇ£instanceGÇ¥.
3. Upon warping to one of them I went straight to the middle of the sun and got bounced back out at a bajillion miles an hour.
4.Upon warping to the other, I landed approx 10 000 k away and had it on short scan. I could warp no further dues to the usual interference message you get [GÇ£You cannot warp there because natural phenomena are disrupting the warpGÇ¥.]. I could align and MWD towards the ship though. 5 mis to cross 10 000 k might be a bit unpossible :P I was unable to get to the frigate within the 5 mins stated. But as the two combatants were in limbo and the arena did not close, I was able to MWD all the way to using align to in the drop down in the scanning results interface to fly the 10 000 k right up to the frigate in the arena. I was not destroyed at 125 Km from the frigate combatant or the beacon it was sitting next to,. The other combatant was not in the arena but some where in limbo in the match making system. Scannable but the result warped me to the middle of the sun.
So the result of this little experiment...If you have a ship that is capable ot traversing the 10 000 k in the 5 mins you might have a shot at pew pewing the combatants, but then again not as there was a problem with the whole GÇ¥in limboGÇ¥ thing. But then again it might have been just what was needed to actually prove you can get there.
5. The GÇ£InstanceGÇ¥ was created 6.7 AU from the Dojo itself. Both Pilots entered the system docked in a local station. The Dojo was around 0.5 AU form the sun in a GÇ£Safe spotGÇ¥ now fully warpable from the overview in local.
6. Shooting the Dojo: The Dojo went in to reinforced mode at about 2/3 shields, the stated timer in the info is 2 days. The owner of the Dojo was not notified, and the shooter was given a GÇ£Target is invulnerable notification.GÇ¥ The GÇ£instanceGÇ¥ did not close, neither pilot was ejected from the match making system, or limbo.
I then went to a 0.7 system and deployed a Dojo. My other character began to shoot it before it had GÇ£onlinedGÇ¥ He got a suspect timer and a weapons timer. Concord did not show up. Green safety prevented any aggressive action, yellow was all good with me shooting it. I then set my safety to red and shot my character that deployed the Dojo and concord came a long and kicked my teeth in.
Take from this what you will. I am just hoping to contribute some actual research to this discussion.
I would love it if other people got onto Duality to test my findings out and look at other aspects of this. At the moment there is a lot of back and forth between opposing camps with very little time put into actually looking at these things on Duality.
My results I expect are flawed due to the fact that all characters involved were mine on the same PC. Having a few people do this may produce better results.
But as I have said each and every time I have been on its only been my three characters for testing.
Cheers. |
