3.0.0 and Global Progress Watch - Update 2017-07-21

Good friday citizens!

This week's breaks the cycle of delays we were starting to be used to. There is no delay on any release window this week, and we've entered the Evocati PTU release window. However, I'd like to remind everyone that it's a release window, therefore the release can happen anytime until the end of the window. As indicated in the weekly newsletter, the Evocati PTU isn't open yet, and all of them are in the starting blocks to explore 3.0 as soon as it'll be there. Before going further, let's see what CIG has to say :

Since our last update, the team has been busy addressing the feedback from our ongoing Directors reviews. With the various systems being implemented and tested, we’ve discovered a handful of new bugs that have required additional focus.

3.0.0 Progress Watch

Let's start with PU content. Mission givers and Delamar / Levski have both been pushed by 2 weeks, the first one due to animations requiring more work, and the second one due to kiosk requiring more work. About kiosks, be sure to check out this week's ATV to learn how they work!

Next in gameplay, our lonely remaining task, Inventory System Gamecode Engineering, is still following the UI delays and has been delayed by another week.

In Core Tech, we're down to one final task, with the Entity Owner Manager remaining to do and having another one week delay.

We then enter UI territory, and by that point you all know what it means. This week, 3 tasks have been delayed : Inventory System and Cargo Manifest by one week, and Ships Selector & Insurance Claim by two weeks. The main problem right now seems to be the search bar integrated into many new UIs, and used to search for commodities, cargo, items, and pretty much everything, both in your ships and in merchants inventories.

Finally, the RSI Aurora rework is being delayed by two weeks to implement the "springy" landing gears, and to do some bugfixing. I'm really happy they decided to do that, my back was killing me each time I landed my aurora in Olisar...

And of course, we look at the completed tasks of this week :

• Entity Update Component Scheduler (Core Tech)
• Item 2.0 UI (MFDs) (UI)
• StarMap App (UI)
• Behring P4-AR (rework) (Ships & Weapons)

Global Progress Watch

This week's on the Global Progress Watch, we have a lot of completed items that aren't on the 3.0.0 schedule :

• Interaction : Attach & ??? (Gameplay)
• Arc Corp / Area 18 (Environments)
• Network Bind / Unbind (Network)
• Server Migration (Network)

Next week I'll be back at home, so the Global Progress Watch will return to being included immediately. See you there!
