[ferret]

[Scorpion]

I can't wait for Trinity... the new ships are gonna be sex.

[Zantas]

I wanty now. :(

[Scorpion]

you can't havy!

[[gh]Spurty]

yah, its more than just a graphical spruce up, I read its a new engine for the graphics and should be smoother than it currently is as well!

I've been spending time on the test server as well and will post about the new ships. Some of them are just awesome!

lol Caldari Golem is going to be a very expensive and much wanted ship

[Zantas]

So the test server is using the new engine?

[Scorpion]

yup

[Erad]

oh my. this would make me want to upgrade my computer yet again lol

Nothing special, nothing given, nothing gained. I've seen these expansions come and pass. Most often there is a 3 day crash and loads of bugs and lag and nodes crashing and "OMG WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING? PEICE OF CRAP GAME!"
So in the words of the G-MAN, "Prepare for unforseen consequences."
Fear the expansions and major updates for such an update of this size will place extreem stress on CCP backbone as well. I've seen it with Gemini and RMR already where they released an expansion then after a week CCP did a rollback.
My current stance toward this subject: reserved judgement.
Atleast CCP hasn't used the word 'Yarrware' yet while describing the expanssion.

[[gh]Spurty]

lol yah I hear you ToeL

I'll be setting up all characters with 20+ day skills around that time

I'm currently installing EVE on my Mac

updates

[[gh]Spurty]

I have the updated graphics on SiSi

To try this out btw:

http://www.eve-online.com/patches/patches.asp?s=singularity

GO there and download the patch

Make a copy of your current EVE client (Say ccp\eve to ccp\eve-test)

Then patch the eve-test folder.

Now you will get a new login

This can be logged into even if you are already logged into tq

ITS SEXY TIME!

p.s. I'll install fraps

[saitn]

[Zantas]

Amazing, over 600 people on SiSi. I think it's a new record.
