[Patch notes] Crucible 1.6

[Mike deVoid]

Doesn't that keep in the 'too webbed; cannot stop warp' exploit?

[Tajidan]

Overview still sucks from a usability standpoint, c/d? Does it still not update properly? That was the real deal breaker for me. That and the fucking desyncs which made me miss tackles constantly and show ships that were 30k away as 2k away.

That's been fixed for months.

Nope. still in there.

Miscellaneous

A ship aligning for warp may now cancel the action at any time provided that it has not exceeded the activation speed and that its velocity vector is not yet aligned with the warp destination.

The last bit seems to have been more recently added, and this is the right thread, so...

If it kills the 'aligned JF webbed but unable to warp' trick, WHILE ensuring folks in BS's no longer get trapped on acceleration gates when they're too close and unable to cancel warp... it'll be a nice day in-game. Not that I've seen that bug in forever, but it still sucked.

sadly this is CCP... so who knows.

[Mike deVoid]

But it says can cancel only fs below the activation speed - which is what the webbed JF exploit does - right?

[Tyrus Tenebros]

I'm guessing the "and" conjunction with reference to the velocity vector not being aligned is the relevant part

[Mike deVoid]

For my reading that just means that both parts have to be TRUE for a cancellation to be possible. If either is FALSE then you can't cancel warp.

Patch notes for EVE Online: Crucible 1.6.4

To be released on Wednesday, April 4, 2012.
Fixes

User Interface

Character skills are now easier to find as they are alphabetical in the client language.
Additional [] symbols removed from corp and alliance categories in Eve-Mail window.
Overview font now has a greater variation between large and small font (when not using tooltips!).
Agents now correcly update your journal with mission expiry date (and time if same day).
Some stations and names (50 characters long) are no longer skipped by searches.
The search field will now prioritize exact matches so that corporations using a very common term in their name will be searchable in Contracts and People & Places.

[Daneel Trevize]

Dear players, the servers will be closing immediately for an emergency reboot at GMT 11:31. If at all possible, please make sure your characters are out of harm's way.

-The EVE Online Team See you again in 20 minutes

I have a stupid deimos to kill you bastards

[Durzel]

So what did they fuck up that they needed to emergency reboot for? Warping causes stargates to get GCC and be destroyed?

[Raz]

They finally fixed the small font for the overview so it's actually small again

[Mr Marram]

I don't think the stopping warp if you have a GCC in highsec is a good move, the boomerang manoeuvre needed a stop but perhaps having a CONCORD frig with a faster response time but only warp disrupts snd doesnt jam but can be destroyed, would be an better RP and workable alternative to the complete limit to warping now.
This especially fucks people with bad sec going through CONCORD sov in empire in anything (are pods still counted in this?)

[depili]

Pods are excluded. And AFAIK in the past you have been able to petition losses due to sec status in concord-sov empire.

[Daneel Trevize]

Huh, if anything I remember a corpmate having no luck petioning a loki loss, just being told they should be aware the police there are Concord and they should have learnt the mechanics while they became so flashy.

[Lucas Quaan]

This was already fucked, but I thought you could petition it if you accidentally jumped there?

[Boltorano]

Pods are excluded. And AFAIK in the past you have been able to petition losses due to sec status in concord-sov empire.

Successfully petitioned a Jaguar loss in Yulai when I was CONCORDed because my sec was -1.98 and got rounded down to -2. Was happy because I had a Dark Blood Warp Scrambler fitted that got destroyed with the ship.

You do not get GCC for going into highsec with bad security status. You get shot by the faction police, but you don't get GCC. Obviously CONCORD come and kill you if you're in their space though.

[Zeekar]

For my reading that just means that both parts have to be TRUE for a cancellation to be possible. If either is FALSE then you can't cancel warp.

Exactly the reverse. If both are true you enter warp.

[depili]

Yeah, the wording is bit obscure but what got done is that unless you are in warp (aligned and at speed) you can cancel the warp.

You sure about this Amantus? I was under the impression a GCC is exactly what you got if you entered CONCORD-owned space with too low sec? It's a quirk of their space / the UI that having aggression to CONCORD = GCC

low faction status = faction police.

In Concord territory, sec status = faction status, and faction police = concord. Bad news for pirates.
