Hello Capsuleers
I'm please to announce that Thunderdome is official opening it's doors!
If you're in one of the alliances listed below, and your captain included you on their list of pilots, you will be able to login to Thunderdome using the same username and password (as of today) as you use for the account the character they supplied is on. If they supplied the names of multiple characters on the same account, you'll still only have one account.
- A Band Apart.
- Agony Empire
- Brave Collective
- Curatores Veritatis Alliance
- Exodus.
- FREE GATES COALITION
- League of Unaligned Master Pilots
- Official Winners Of Takeshi's Castle
- Pandemic Legion
- Phoebe Freeport Republic
- Polarbears.
- Rabble Alliance
- Requiem Eternal
- Red vs Blue
- Shadow Cartel
- Spectre Fleet Alliance
- Templis CALSF
- The Afterlife.
- The Tuskers Co.
- Triumvirate.
- VYDRA RELOLDED
- WE FORM V0LTA
To the captains of the other teams, I recommend that you get your lists in as soon as you can. Make sure you check the email listed on the account your captain character is on, as instructions on how to get your team on the server are there.
A few notes though since the email:
- Characters you nominate must be in your team's alliance. They don't have to be eligible to participate (so yes, you can stick brand new alts in there) but they do have to be in there.
- Steam and Nexon accounts are currently not able to access Thunderdome. Steam accounts can work around this by picking a username to attach to their account in account management. I'm working to come up with a solution to Nexon accounts, but no guarantee I can find one.
- Updates to active accounts from this point will generally happen twice a week, once on Tuesday and once on Friday. This does not include removal of accounts, which will generally be processed as soon as I read your mail.
- Some captains have supplied lists with incorrect character names. Keep in mind that the character names you give must match their name in-game. I'll be reaching out to try to correct these, but it will be quicker if you go over your list and make sure the names are correct.
So, now you ask, how do I get on Thunderdome? At the moment, the process is the following:
- Start up the EVE Launcher, click the E in the top right hand corner and hit settings. Switch the version over to Development, then close the launcher.
- Start the EVE Launcher again using the argument "-x=thunderdome". You can do this either by making a new shortcut pointing to the launcher, or by starting the launcher from the command line.
- Once the launcher has started up, click the E in the top right corner and select "Server List". You should now see Thunderdome listed as an option.
- Once it's finished patching and it's status is ready, hit "Play on Thunderdome".
- Login with your regular account details
You're on, so now what?
A few rules first.
- Only your accounts have been transferred over to Thunderdome. You'll have to create new characters
- You are not required to name your characters, corporations and alliances the same name you have on Tranquility.
- You may not attempt to impersonate someone else's character, corporation or alliance.
- The market is not seeded. Instead, all characters can create items using a slash command: /giveitem [type] [quantity], where type is either the type ID or type name (make sure you use quotes if it's the name). You can create stacks of up to 50,000 items at once. (Yes, I am planning to allow you to spawn multiple items at once in the future, but that's not on the server right now)
- Only published items (other than structures and super-captial ships) can be created with the above command. In addition, you can create the unpublished type "Tournament Practice Unit".
- You are able to cloak your ship at any time using the /shipcloak and uncloak it using the /shipuncloak commands. That includes when you're close to objects and being targeted.
- Non-consensual combat is prohibited. If you do get attacked, I recommend that you just use /shipcloak and moonwalk out (just watch out for smartbombs)
- The moveme bot is active if you get lost (this becomes more important later when the tournament tool is turned on).
At present, the tournament tool is not yet available. I'm writing up a guide on how to use it, and I haven't yet handed out the spectator ships and roles. For now, you should feel free to start skilling up your characters (spawning Skill Injectors is handy for this, but keep in mind you can inject a stack of 10,000 at most at once) and filling out your hanger.
If you find a bug, or something goes wrong, please do not file a bug report. All issues should instead be filed as a ticket in the community team queue, or passed on to your team captain and emailed to me directly.
For now, feel free to jump on the server and start practicing using the Tournament Practice Units to hide your activity.

I've just written a new command that will stick all published skills in your head at level 0, with an option to instead make them level 5. I'm also looking at allowing you to provide a comma separated list for spawning multiple items at once, but I haven't started on that one yet.
Hopefully those two will make things much easier.

I've mentioned previously in other places my reasoning for this, but I'll put it here so it's a little more permanent.
I want to have a little state data commonality with Tranquility to minimize data leakage, and to give all event organizers as clean of a slate to work from. There is a lot of extra data that comes from Tranquility that we don't really need.
While we don't need to mirror to seed the markets, teams in the past have used market data to infer what they're opponents are up to. Allowing you to magic items into existence means they can't do that.

A new command, /giveallskills has been added. Using it will inject your character with all skills at level 0. Alternatively, you can use /giveallskills super to give your character all skills at level 5.
Additionally, the /giveitem command will now accept a comma separated list of types (either names or IDs, or a mix) surrounded by quotes to spawn multiple types at once. e.g. /giveitem "Raven, Megathron, Tempest, Apocalypse" 200

Clearly you don't understand the absolute pain in the ass that spawning multiple thousand different item types, many of them with horribly obscure names, to fit a complete set of teams is. The multifit tool is amazing for fitting sets of tournament setups and the easiest way to use it by far is to just buy the stuff off the market. Of course the teams could individually code some sort of program to automatically give you the item ID's and quantities for a particular setup in a list to paste it into the spawn command but it really just seems far more logical to allow the captains to use the seed command.

I'm blaming you for my lack of sleep. Hopefully I'll be able to clean up any of the code horrors on the back-end and get this properly tested over the next few days before deploying it to Thunderdome. (Dislaimer: Feature may be shot down before reaching deployment status or be subject to lengthy delays. Have hopes at your own risk)

Thunderdome will have additional downtime today (2016-08-10) at some time around or before 18:00UTC for the move from VMs to Hardware. No estimate on how long this will take.

Next round will be tomorrow (Friday). Make sure the mails are in before the afternoon, as that's when we'll be pulling more accounts.
Also, I did a patch deployment this morning. There's now a new button in the Multifit window. See for yourself.

Also, the server is down at the moment as we're making some changed to some stuff on the backend. Should be up again later today, hopefully paving the way to open up the tournament tool for teams.

Are you logging in from inside the game client itself? It won't work otherwise. Also, you are likely to only have the account that this character is on (unless you know for sure that your team captain provided names for both.)

Seems somehow your name slipped through the cracks. It's on the export list now, but won't be active until Friday unless I manage to get an extra export this week.
On a better note, the Tournament Tool is now open for teams to use. See the guide here for details on how to use it.

If you're referring to some systems missing the team beacons, this is now by design. We now just teleport you to points in space where the beacons normally would be, so we no longer need the team beacons.

Is that a unique skybox for that area as well? https://i.gyazo.com/e1bb531ebafed8caf0b5722edb84c212.jpg
Cant say ive seen that elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure it isn't. However, the tournament tool picks a random nebula when you create a match that is activated when you turn on the camera tool if you feel like mixing it up. (The Nebula is consistent across all camera clients for any given match)

At present, there's no way for anyone that's not on a team or a referee to get into the arena systems. However, I could add two of the systems to the /moveme list, allowing anyone to enter if they want. Would you guys want me to do this? (There will still be 30 private systems you can use)

(There will still be 30 private systems you can use) In other news, I've just deployed another build today that should hopefully fix the issue where some matches aren't showing up as in progress already, matches that were in progress and reset (such as due to DC) disappear, and should hopefully make the referee tool a lot quicker to open (A misplaced sleep may have been responsible for that one '>.>) New version (1.1) of the guide is available here (the one in the first post will eventually update, but CDN caching means it will take a while) You're answering to people in forum, but we are still waiting that you read your mail et give acces to our aliance to the thunderdome. Could you PLEASE READ YOUR EMAIL. Already sent 2 mail and 2 quote on this forum...
CCP LOGIBRO , please look at your EMAIL, it would be nice if we had an access to the server !! Still waiting... Thanks FlySafe

Should be fixed now, you must not have had a character created when the script was run to grant the skills. (We have to grant the skills directly as you can't train Polaris normally due to it's "unique" skill requirements)

There's also been some reports of module lag on the server. I'll be taking a bit of a deeper dive into that tomorrow, but for now if you could post timestamps from when it occurs in this thread that would be a huge amount of help.

Both of them still show as having access.
As for the lag issues, operations made a change this morning that should have fixed what we suspect was the cause of the lag spikes. It should be solved now, but please let me know if you have any further issues.

For those teams that have already sent in their mails requesting access to Thunderdome, you should now have access. If you have some members unable to access the server, please double check the names you sent me and then send me another mail.
Please note that the skills to fly the Spectator Yachts have not been handed out yet (they require you to have created characters before they can be given). I'm hoping to have a better solution around next week, but for now as long as you have your character created before Monday you should get the skills on Monday.

It has come to my attention that some players may be attempting to scrape killmails from other teams by brute forcing the URIs for those killmails.
This is not permitted, and we can very clearly attempts to do so in the server logs. Any players found doing so may be banned from Thunderdome and the tournament, and we may consider action against teams if we deem it necessary.
