4.0??? (soon) ((maybe)) (((possibly))) ((((probably not))))

3.21 currently in PTU has some intrestinng features. One of the most eye catching is the inclusion of the Jump points for Terra, Magnus and Pyro.

Whilst the JP themselves are not active, the locations are filled with the infustructure needed to support trading, fueling and general transport between this Star systems. Plus they look epic!

 

I took a trip out to the Terra JP, which is the closest to Arcorp (our normal case of operations) and the trip took around 15 minutes. 

The station at Terra has a number of tradable goods that can only be sold between the JP locations, which encourages the Bulk haulers away from the in-system trade routes. This has  had a dramatic impact on the stock levels around the various locations, which has helped the smaller traders be more efficient. 

 

Whilst all this is nice, the real game changer (pun intended) is the inclusion of the tech called "replication layer" .

 

CIG published an update on server meshing about this time last year. Its quite long and in depth.

For the TLDR crew, the Replication layer is the final step before server meshing. 

Server meshing opens up the game and allows the inclusion of multiple star systems, higher player counts and better performance. 

 

 

The Jump point to Terra.

Magnus is the home of Drake Interplanertary and a number of component manufactures (specifically QT Drives) 

slightly lower threat level compared to Stanton. 

Has a Capital class Jump Point to Terra, a  standard class JP to Ellis and a Captial class JP to Stanton.
