[Warcold]

I lolled at this though:

This newsitem has a hint

Hint: Please ensure that your skill queue is populated with enough training to cover the scheduled downtime.

was planned, wasnt it?

Its been extended to 14.30 UTC from 13.30 - thats why i lolled

[Warcold]

yeah, noticed I was wrong (calculating EVE time to local time is hard I guess), but the guys on BC TS3 knew better

Upside: 1.5 days taken off AWU V.

Downside: Safest Route settings under AutoPilot seems to be broken (this may be an upside too).

Re the Primae:

It is however the most cost-effective PI ship available.



(Seriously though, like with the Zephyr, this is a free gift that looks really cool, and also has a few stats and bonuses just to make it more unique. It's deliberately not supposed to be better for common tasks than other ships, due to the fact that it's free and everyone is given one. Just like the Zephyr is intentionally not better than a Covert Ops ship for scanning, the Primae is intentionally not a better hauler than a dedicated industrial ship that you have to train for and buy. That's not - before anyone jumps in - to say it's useless, because utility is a linear measure not a binary one. You can still use it for moving your PI commodities and command centers. It's perfectly useful in and of itself for certain tasks - it's just not a replacement for a good industrial.)

CCP greysale said that and he has kind of a point, although the ship did need to be a touch more better

Autopilot is still screwed gents

To be deployed on July 1, 2010

FIXES

The autopilot was mistakenly providing the shortest route to your destination even when you had the prefer safer option selected. We sent it back to flight school and the safer option is again working correctly.

Some blueprint icons were being displayed incorrectly based on their type. This has been corrected.

An error was being generated while trying to access items in a corp hanger while in space.

You are now able to trash items normally that are located in a corporate hangar array at a POS.

The Planetary Commodities cargo hold on the Primae couldn’t be loaded with Water or Oxygen. It can now.

An error was being generated why you tried to edit more than one contact at the same time. This now works as intended.
