    Lol so the most important part about EvE is knowing what ships do what...   Whatever you fail to ask questions that actually matter, as far as I'm concerned you utterly fail at basic understanding of EvE by my standards.

    Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

    So i failed on one of the ship questions, you don't put those sort of ship technical questions in a test which is supposed to test your basic knowledge on EVE in my humble opinion...  

     

    The rest of the questions were good, but the ship ones are not needed for a basic knowledge quiz.  Something more appropriate instead of ship based technical questions would be,

     

    -   "Do you understand what 0.0 space is?"

    -   "Can all races fly into other's territory?"

    -   "What are the main professions in EVE?"

     

    Those are the sort of questions that should be in a basic knowledge quiz.

    Those questions get too involved and too complex, especially that last one which can lead in so many directions. If anything a simple guided question like the existing ones, linking to content with the answers, would go much further than actually trying to test one's knowledge. Cosy's test is masterfully done in that , for new players, it serves as an interactive teaching tool. The ship questions are actually some of the best because they show the user what is available in EVE, especially since most are for ships they can readily get into.

    Failed :(   60%

    Tbf I don't play the game and know very little about it, so I would have thought if you played it the quiz should be a breeze.

    There's enough ways to answer that quiz question that it probably could use more clarity.

     

    Tranqulity and Serenity (only accessible by Chinese citizens) are the production servers.

    Singularity and Duality are public test servers.  There's also semi-public servers such as the occasionally used Multiplicity server.

    i don't want to be rude but honestly that is the worst excuse ever, ship bonuses is x*y=bonus and applies to any ship even if you use it or not, is like saying i forgot to multiply, again i dont want to be rude just point out some stuff

    While that is true you still need to know what the level 1 bonus is: 5, 10 or 20%. Having 20% base like the Osprey is not very common. I got it right (10/10 here) but this was one I was not 100% sure on.

    The other 2 being the server count as that depended on how he counted with servers like serenity and singularity in the mix. The last one was the Navitas. For almost all ships in eve if someone said its name I could tell you its size and application, the exception to this rule are the lesser use frigates. It was still an educated guess as I know the main Gallente combat frigates are Incursus and Tristan..

    On the eveonline site, under client downloads you are given the choice of clients for three server clusters. You might want to specify production server clusters that are available worldwide (mostly) in your question.

    I'll bite. I haven't actually played in the last 2-3 years. Is that a better excuse to not remember cruiser bonuses? I don't really remember any values from bonuses from anything, just the ships I used to main. (Sacrilege, abbadon, mostly amarr ships really).

    Also, I don't remember there being a link that was overly obvious, even if it was, what's the point of a test if you're given the option to look at the answers? Doesn't really sound like a proper test to me.
