Can you elaborate on this?
Quote:
Time Dilation
* In an effort to keep tremendously large fleet engagements fun, the universe will slow down time in order to keep up with the strain of simulating many hundreds of ships.
* Read more about the details and motivations in CCP VeritasGÇÖ devblog Introducing Time Dilation and watch him demo it in the Time Dilation Video Demo.
* Due to the dangerous nature of altering the fabric of spacetime in such ways, the feature will be turned on at a slightly later date. This is to provide isolation from other fundamental alterations to the machinations of the universe in order to reduce the chances of total protonic reversal.
More specifically, could you give a ballpark figure for this later date? Later this week? Sometime in December? "Soon(tm)"? Also what's the hold-up? (plus, I would imagine total protonic reversal of EVE universe would be a pretty boom and we play EVE for pretty booms, so...)

Earlier devblogs stated
Quote:
# Turrets, launchers, EW batteries and hardeners now take 5 seconds to anchor/unanchor and 120 seconds to online/offline
# Every other structure not already mentioned in this list now takes 5 seconds to anchor/unanchor and 3 seconds to online/offline
Yet the patch notes say nothing about online/offline timers. Only about anchor/unanchor times.
Quote:
# Most starbase structures have had their anchor and unanchor timers reduced to 5 seconds.
# Starbase turrets, launchers, electronic warfare batteries and hardeners have had their anchor and unanchor timers reduced to 5 seconds .
An omission or a change?

Quote:
* Removed personal standings gain from storyline Agents. Previously if a storyline mission was completed in a fleet, the fleet members would be wrongly awarded personal standings.
Does this mean that if a fleet completes storyline mission, all in the fleet gain standings towards the faction, not just the pilot whose mission it was? If so, this would be a great boon for fixing... "compromised"  ... NPC faction standings... |

No jumps in wormhole space is a great change. No gate to track the jumps, no jumps... makes it easier to be :discreet: in W-space.

They've already stated there would be a trailer.
Question is, will we get it today or tomorrow?

# Station names have been improved. GÇ£Gallente Station 7GÇ¥ and its friends got a facelift.
Bah, have to memorize new station names to figure out which one is an evil capship-eating kickout station and which isn't...  |

I feel like this has been a long time coming. This is good news! Everyone picked up on this. It has been a long time known. Yet I've seen a lack of tears... hmm..
For suicide gankers who aim to grief, the insurance payout has always been irrelevant. Those who expect this will make their Mackinaws invulnerable to Goon antics will be the ones shedding tears...
The only difference is that "economically viable" suicide piracy for profit in highsec now requires you to write off the BS fleet completely when doing target selection. It won't eliminate it completely, but it does raise the bar by a couple of billion ISK.
In other words, you will be able to stack some additional ridiculously priced officer mods to your carebearmobile before it attracts a suicide gank for the module drop and (more importantly) you can now haul more valuable freighter cargoes before worrying about getting popped by a swarm of high alpha Tempests on some 0.5 gate...
In short; nothing much changes...

True. New Tier 3 BCs being the ultimate word in latest GankMobile(tm) technology.
