Didn't see it in the patchnotes, but it seems you have changed it so that you can no longer place cans inside of station containers. I'd just like to say that that is a silly change to make. First, no one will be transporting station containers so that which you fear with normal containers (putting lots of small secure containers into a large secure container to increase cargo capacity very unfairly) isn't an issue. Secondly, even if it were, who would need extra space inside a station container when it's near impossible to fill them up as it is. The reason to use cans inside a station container was, same as a hangar, to organize items.

Saying all that, if you decide not to fix this, at least allow the placing of bubble-wraps (box off of escrows) into station container. They aren't "PLANK" containers since they don't hold more than they take, I personally stored items in such a way inside my station container. (Ex: box containing mining setup for apoc or collection of minmatar frigates or 100 corpses.)

Were there a search function, I would find you the Dev post where they said that they made this change because certain unnamed people were intentionally using this feature to cause systems to become stuck.

Something about the placing of a container in a container causes the database to breakdown, the world to end, and cats to meow frantically in fear.

Please bring back the "Refresh" option for loot cans out it space. Well, actually, it seems like the "Refresh" option has gone away for everthing, like cans, cargo holds and hangers.

example:- corp m8 and i following same route using same bookmarks, i land by the gate ( within 2km) and he misses by 5km.

---

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this is there fix for bumping, never let 2 ships get near each other

I suspect it's actually a fix for insta-jumps... 2km might be enough to put them outside the jumpgate radius... 5km certainly is.

The lag (framerate decrease) caused by armor repairers/hardeners is known and a repair is in the making. Hotfix should be applied this evening once the repair is tested.

Good to know kieron, thx for the update (and saving me from making a post about the issue in question).

Just found a little bug today by accident :)
If you jettison biomass in space from your cargohold, in this case someone's corpse I found in space, the thing will disappear from your cargo, but there WON'T be a jettisoned can. After I jettisoned a light missile in space [within the 3 minute timer] it did work well, and it did jettison the can with the light missile. Not a biggy, but it's a bug afterall :)

And then a big one: lag. It might have been a bad servernode, but the fleetbattle we tried to have today got totally ruined by jump-in lag: Ill quote myself from [url=http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=148251]another thread[/url]

It's definately a server thing.
We had the same fight [same gate, same numbers, same situation] a couple of days ago, and the server handled it a LOT better. It was laggy like hell yes, but at least it was somewhat playable [activating a module/gun took 2 miunutes, so did warping].
It seems to me like CCP changed something in the jump-in code that made mass jump-in impossible [loading 1 pilot at a time instead of all at the same time?].

Also, as noticed over and over again fights at stations are a LOT smoother and a LOT less laggy then fights at gates.
The 80v80 fight at the 9CG station was pretty lagfree [at least for me], FPS was pretty bad [as expected with so many ships], but if I actuvated my guns, they reacted within a few seconds.

---

I noticed [and with me some other pilots] that fights at stations are almost always less laggy then fights at gates, even after the fleets jumped into eachother and the actual fighting begun. I don;t know WHY this is happening and if this is always the case, but it might be worth looking into it.

Would it be helpfull if I [and maybe some other pilots] run the logserver during a big battle and send the logs to CCP, or would the logserver info be useless to the devs?

*sigh* Ok my spiffy expanding the sidebar didn't fix it after all. Just gotta wait for those random times the buttons decide to work.

Please make the game engine work in the next patch instead of monkeying around with module stats. Pretty please?

The clientside lag (low FPS) *is* a major, major, major problem with Eve, and there needs to be a "stupid, pointless feature freeze" until it is worked out.

Basically, you can't do anything except light rat spawn and gate ganks without getting lagged all to hell.

It's not our computers. It is a bloated, buggy client, and insufficent server resources. Fix it, plz. Then we can talk about making everything on the market "contraband".

Does CCP intend to make the issues with armor hardners public?

Had a friend lose his Mega to the insane lag 1-4 fps while trying to avoid getting ganked by 3 guys at a station.

Or is everyone supposed to find out the hard way?

Eve will not auto patch, and I'm unable to manually patch either...

Basically I can't play eve until it's fixed.

---

I copied my second account folder's over the first one to patch...As it worked nice on the first but wouldn't run on the second...

Just keep your cache apart, otherwise you will loose your precious BM folders...

Demand for the pirate dog tags should now be available on the market in the pirate regions.

---

first, what is that supposed to mean?
If you mean "Pirate Factions have now demand for Empire Insiginas", then your patch notes are incorrect, as that demand still doesn't exist.

I'll once again file a br now.

I haven't read the 9 pages of msgs, so this might already have been mentioned.

Still takes ages to undock sometimes, hence i've time to write this.

More importantly my capacitor display still doesn't update sometimes.

And worst of all my shields don't seem to be displaying correctly either, i took 500-1000 dmg in 5-6 seconds and the shield display said i had only lost 50points or so, i should have regenerated 10-20 points at most so it must be wrong.

Missions can be a little worring when you can't trust you cap or shield readouts

As someone already said. Not everyone uses forums.

Next time you might have a bug that deletes all characters. Wouldn't it be the smart thing to do to inform/find means to inform all members of the Eve community of this particularly dangerous bug?

You would think this was simple/common sense.

Is Elite Frigates Powergrid supposed to be only 15MW?? Thats the same as a Newbie frigate...so much for Covert Ops: Extra midslots but even less power...

Example: my Powergrid on my (new!!) Cheetah is half that of a Vigil....

* alot of the ship icons/images are off center or enlarged in their info sheets. just look at the Thorax or Prophecy, half the ships are outside the frame.
