There is no definitive list of T3 module subsystems and their bonuses in the patch notes.
I have spoken to CCP Chronotis about this and he assures me that there will be an updated list of sub systems and bonuses in the Game Development forum later today. I will add a link to this in this thread and the Patch Notes once it becomes available. Given that there are so many sub systems and bonuses it would be a really, really long list to add. |

ok not complaining here but what has change in the deployment with Apocrypha as its only 13 hours i mean most time you aim for 24 hours and most times you do make it in that time is it a case that the server already have the information on it and you just have to move the database and test or is there a new way of deploying it.
anyways gl hope it all goes well. |

The addition of the new Ramsan 500 as per CCP Mindstars blog means shorter deployment times  |

That is not correct as per the same blog (and the quote). Signal Acquisition will change to Astrometric Triangulation, and the bonus will change from scan time to scan strength. In other words: If you want to boost your scan strength, train Signal Acquisition now, and continue with the same skill under its new name in Apocrypha, Astrometric Triangulation. If you want to boost your scan time, train Astrometric Triangulation now, and continue with the same skill under its new name in Apocrypha, Astrometric Acquisition. |

The current skill on Tranquility, Signal Acquisition, will be renamed to Astrometric Triangulation. The current skill on Tranquility, Astrometric Triangulation, will be renamed to Astrometric Acquisition. Astrometric Triangulation will give a bonus to scan strength and Astrometric Acquisition will give a bonus to scan time. You are quite right and I misquoted there  |

I agree with someone else here who said CCP needs to take out the immense amount of "fluff" they add to patch notes. It is bad enough when I read ads and interviews geared to potential new subscribers but stop yanking our chain around on the patch notes.
Computers and/or software tweaks that you added on the server side to make the game more playable WEEKS ago does not constitute a patch note of an expansion that is coming out. The Ramsan was added already, its in the past its not being released tomorrow its not a client "feature". Same goes for need for speed or anything else that is not especially being added TOMORROW on patch day.
Stop trying to sell us the game in patch notes, we already subscribe thank you. |

What about the Learning Multiplier when change the Skills for Signal Ac. btw. Astrometic Tri.
Old 5, now 8 ....
If one had Astrometic Tri. at 5 and Signal Acq. at 4, he wold get many Skillpoints given.
A Char with Astrometic Tri. at 4 and Signal Acq. at 5, has a big Disadvantage.
So why does the Skills Changed, its not Equality for the EVE Players. |

The only thing that was done to the skills was to change the names over and the bonuses they give. The skill that you have in your character sheet that's currently called "Signal Acquisition" will have its name changed and will have its bonus changed. The rank of the skill and the number of levels you have trained in it will not be changed. Thus if you currently have Signal Acquisition trained to level 5, you will find post-patch that you have a skill called "Astrometric Triangulation", which will be a rank 8 skill still, and will be trained to level 5 still. Nobody is losing skillpoints, nobody is having the ranks of trained skills altered. All that it means is that the most useful skill is still the rank 8 one and it will still have as many skillpoints as you have in the current rank 8 exploration skill. |

So i think i los skillpoint for one simple example : Bevor Patch, Skill for Strength at 5 an for Scan Time at 4 ! If i have Astrometric Triangulation at 5 (5x) an Signal Acquisitan 4 (8x) After Patch If i have Astrometric Triangulation at 4 (8x) an Astrometic Acquisitan 5 (5x) After Patch, i must Skill a 8x for a Second Time to 5 .... A other Example : Bevor Patch, Skill for Strength at 4 an for Scan Time at 5 ! If i have Astrometric Triangulation at 4 (5x) an Signal Acquisitan 5 (8x) After Patch If i have Astrometric Triangulation at 5 (8x) an Astrometic Acquisitan 4 (5x) So i have not need to skill the other skill at 5, because Scann Time is now not needed at 5, because it gives only 1 second. I think the Player in Example 2 is a lucky one ! So some Players are better, some Players More badly, in Point of the Skillpoints. 1 Million Skillpoints given for a Lucky Player. |

Sorry Grayscale,
but the most useful skill was (after tomorrows patch) the one which gave you more scan strength, so to say the rank 5 skill astrometic trian. Signal Acqu. was just nice to have to reduce scan time.
Most of the players I think got the following skill set:
Signal Aqu. (8) @Level 4 ----> reduces scan time
Astrometic Tri (5) @Level 5 ----> gives more scan strength (which is by far more important, it lets you find something)
So after youre patch tomorrow people will have
Signal Aqu. (5) @Level 5 ----> reduces scan time
Astrometic Tri (8) @Level 4 ----> gives more scan strength
So the have a reduction of 50% scan time (whoooa, 5 secs to 10 is not that great as it was before the patch, the percentage is the same right, but the effect now sucks, same goes with covert ops @level 5). So to say, 30 days skill training for one f***ing second, very nice.
Will the bonus given for the covert ops skill also be changed or do i now have another useless skill @level 5?
Or am I wrong? |

I suggest that the devs allow alternative download sites for the patch to decrease server load and maybe have it in torrent format just a few suggestions |

It's not you, patches are always done on Tuesdays because there are ALWAYS problems on Wednesday and they don't get most of them fixed until Friday. So it's somewhat playable on the weekend when most people log on. You should have been here when they put out patches on Friday. |

My current classic client says it is 75883, I am downloading the conversion from 75883 classic to premium patch, but the patch notes for tomorrows expansion say :
Build 75884 to 83913 addresses Patch Notes for Apocrypha ...
Is this a problem ?
