While going through the 4.0 build tonight we found some issues that are going to block Wave 1 tonight but are hotfixable for tomorrow. Our plan now is to still publish the build a bit later tonight on EPTU for Evocati to test overnight, hotfix in the morning CST, and start the 2-3 hour test to determine Wave 1
**Goal is to be at an EU friendly time Friday. We have moved the Polaris and Starlancer MAX over into the 4.0 stream for the next release to EPTU.The expo halls are still running tonight for an accelerated 2 hour cycle each and the ships should be rentable again **
sc-testing-chat | Wakapedia-CIG: As we are done with the “Playtest” phase of 4.0, notes will now be public for tonight’s 4.0 release to Evocati and forwards. We locked it down to keep comments to evocati feedback on the playtests but we’re now moving into formal release notes phases
