Ok, so after the last mirror I setup a large gallente tower in PNQY with the intention of gaining sov there, the station, and anchoring a capital ship assembly array and all that jazz. I wanted to go through the whole normal process of hauling the components, getting the bpo, starting the job etc. The info thread thats stickied on SISI has a link to another thread containing channels to join, such as the channel "Supercapitals" to ask for dev assistance on it. No one's usually in the channel from what I can see.
Long story short, 1 day short of gaining sov, I was flying an alt to refuel the tower, and the server went down (reboot, took a while to come back up again). In the meantime the tower went offline and I have to start all over again.
Questions: Is there a way someone could speed up the sov process so I don't have ot wait another 7 days for sov? Or should I join a corp in the doomsday alliance to do this at this point?
Once the job is installed (Nyx) do the devs still assist with speeding up the construction time?
If the server happens to be remirrored due to the continuing work on the expansion, does the policy of taking a screenshot of the build job so that a dev can "reset" the clock on the new mirror once I've gone through the process of setting up the tower, hauling the mods, installing the job again etc?
Thanks for any info that can be provided.

im not sure if devs can help with sovereignty. I'm pretty sure I've heard a dev say that they can.
As for accelerating supercap construction. Pretty sure yes indeed. ------------------------ "There was this bright flash of light - and now this egg shaped thing is on my screen - did I level up?" |

The assistance with speeing up production amounted to a) Anchoring the tower faster. b) Spawning the components inside the CSAA saving many freighter trips. c) Providing a PE 100 bpo to shave a couple of days off the production time.
Once the job has begun none of this is possible.

1. Sovereignty: Usually I set up a test alliance for players that claims sovereignty and has a few outposts built so that you don't have to wait for sovereignty to kick in. This mirror I haven't done so because a) lately less and less players have been interested in taking advantage of this and it is quite a bit of time investment on mine and others' part to set this up and b) this is likely to be a very short-lived mirror. The process of speeding up sovereignty involves a DB hack and a server reboot, so this is why we are only doing it for our own testing and for the test alliance, which players are free to join.
2. Installing the job: I believe I said this in the other thread as well - I don't have time anymore to assist with installing the job, I'm sorry.
3. Speeding up the building: Yes, this can still be done.
4. The in game channel: Since that channel has been empty for a while now I have stopped joining it. The most reliable way to reach me is through IRC, since I might not be present on Singularityat the time. The in game channel "Singularity" would also be a better channel to join.

Onieromancer thanks for answering my questions on IRC. Now that we have a new server up, will you (or another CCPer) be willing to setup sov in the game on a test alliance?
And would you still be willing to speed up the build time (hopefully to finish before the next mirror ^.^)? --------------

Once a more long-term mirror is put in place, will you put up the Doomsday Alliance? I'm also interested in building a supercapital or two.

Yes, once a long-term mirror (2 months or more) is in place and we're done with the EA release I will set up the test alliance with sovereignty and outposts.
