E-warp should be fine.

Well i have been messing around with grids and so far ive been able to get and so far i have been able to get it to 1.8 million km.

Idea:
-Signature radius and sensor strength affect distance that a ship will show on grid. Gives your ship a "footprint" similar to how probe-able you are currently.
-All ships show on grid under 250km regardless of stats.
-Combat recons get a role bonus where they are not visible on grid above the base 250km, and keep their d-scan immunity.

Example:
-Jump in to system in a cruiser, see a carrier 2 AU away on your grid, as well as several towers, and that's it.
-260 km from you, a Crow can see you, but you can't see him. Your footprint is bigger than his, and his is small enough that he doesn't show past 255km.

Edit - More ideas:
Low-profile bubble. Requires a higher anchoring skill, but doesn't show on grid outside of 250km.

Note: all items mentioned here would still show on d-scan, just not on overview.

Are you sure?

Can you provide me with some locations please? System, planet, moon, station?

This is the kind of thing we are looking for as we do not want to break gameplay, but we really want to make the grids bigger.

One can't say that you guys don't have any humor. If a few years of interwebz taught me anything the crowd will break a product faster, more complete and in the most ridiculous way possible that the poor provider could never think of.

So yeah ... good luck with that.

Great work... any chance now that the grid is bigger we can get more then 250km max target range?

There are so many ships and setups that can in theory target past that but we are cutt of for some silly reason

Are you going to fix some of the NPC's? It has been a while, but I remember coming across some NPCs on stargate gates that didn't seem to have a lock or weapons range limit (ie was being damped, jammed, and shot from ~500km away)

Are you going to be looking into drag/stop bubble mechanics with this?

IN CLAYMORE WE TRUST
but seriously thank you for this, it's long overdue and based on how caps will be changing, completely necessary.

Cool change, big grids are awesome.

Have you made sure that it's not possible for sleeper sites (combat anomalies, data/relic sites) to spawn on the same grid as each other?

It would suck to want to do capital escalations and have two sites on the same grid, forcing you to escalate both of them at the same time and either not do the second site, or do a single wave in site 1, then a wave in site 2, etc.

any planned changes for bubbles re: how far they pull from?

currently any bubble on your destination grid on your vector pulls you to the closest bubble, obviously with much bigger grids the potential distance pulled can be much bigger

admittedly you could make bubbles very far on grid already, but it involved a lot of grid manipulation and would not persist through downtime

also wondering about the ESS, as currently you need to extend a grid 3001km from a station/stargate to place it on grid - which results in a very powerful bubble as it warns you in local when something lands in it
if grids are much bigger can we expect them to be modified too?


also abou the moon thing, i've had poses on the same grid as station undocks before (until downtime), it's not a big deal load wise and its kinda cool to see
the only issue is you can gun up to infinite range with the tower (unless this changed with brain in a box) so you can make sentry guns do strange things

Assuming the size of grids is going to be like 1 million KM, it would be amazing if in this release or next to add an overview filter option or tab to filter out select items over X distance. This means if we see ships and stuff on the overview that is 1000km away, well out of targeting range, we can hid them from our overview.

This is mainly for when/if you filter by Name, type, and so on. It will not display people who are beyond combat support (not counting off grid boosters). You will still see them in space and their tags, just hiding them from overview.

Since you're making grids larger in addition to speed creep can we get the minimum warp distance increased to 250km? I know Gorski has made several posts and has been advocating for this. 150km is already too short with the current speed creep

Yep

1.6 million Km grid

Disable this grids on gates , pls - make them a special case.
When you jump in to a 1k local , the last thing you want is to die before even loading the grid.

Does this mean that the 249km lock distance restriction will be revised?

edit: Whoops, already answered. my bad.

(The answer is not yet, like 8 posts above mine)

Could you file a bug report and put my name in the title with steps on how to setup the ESS thing and I will take a look? Bubbles are a this point in time on the list to be tested, but I have not done it yet.

Also, I can confirm that stations seeing POS and POS seeing stations is visually super cool!

done

Haha this is a good effort.

Genuine question, is this actually practical for catching an e-warp where it should be a concern?

We are looking at numbers as we speak.

Hello players,

With the latest update on Singularity you might notice some strange goings on.

For some of the work Team Game of Drones are doing in the build up to Citadels we have made the grid size bigger.

How much bigger?

MUCH BIGGER!

What is this going to affect?

As with many of the changes Game of Drones are making we really hope you will not notice much but there are some pretty big exceptions with this one.

1. Your safe spots are possibly not so safe anymore, other people can probably see you now.
2. When running some missions you will be able to see rooms you should not be able to see, we are aware of this and are working out what to do.
3. Anchoring POS might have some issues, we are aware of this.

Please let us know if you run into any issues by submitting a bug report through the F12 menu in the client. Please report the bug before restarting the client as your logs are super important for tracking down issues.

Thank you and fly safe.

Known Issues:
1. You can't anchor a POS.
2. Some POS are close enough to stations they are visible and warpable from the station.
3. Certain mission with many rooms can show rooms they should not yet be showing.
