I really do not see the point in Evocati and the PTU. A patch goes to PTU, Evocati tests, goes to PU, buggy mess and broken, a new patch on PTU goes up, goes to PU, buggy and broken... Why don't we just get rid of Evocati and do rolling releases on the live PU server? Smaller patches... see if something works or breaks... if breaks, rollback. You do not even need to touch peoples progress. Make sure inventory, monies, ships, and rep are all in their separate database for players and do not touch that one. I mean, if 4.8 is what we get when you try to put a bunch of stuff into a patch and bring it to the PU even after being played and tested for extended periods on the PTU (and this hasn't been the only miserable unplayable patch), maybe you should look at handling things a different way.
