Someone explain this please.
The sniper rifle bullet trail will hang in the air for a longer amount of time, before fading away. So that you can gauge the direction the bullet was fired from. So that you can track down that sniper that just headshotted you.

Some stunning changes in this update. But are you guys sure about the 750,000 SP per week? That sounds insane on the face of it. Players are going to be skilling up fast.
Makes me feel as though CCP just said "**** it" because either Dust is on limited time (compared to before) or because lots of SP won't transfer to legion. Or both.
On a side note, I really have to fix my PS3 or buy a new one. Anyone not capping now, is missing out big time. Passive SP just got protostomped.

Are these the complete patch notes? Any chance of a few more surprises? In other words, are we getting any new weapons?

You should of had roll over sp instead, what's the point of saving and planning now? No new skills to spend them. Please be patient 
Since you're here Rattati, can you elaborate on the thinking around increasing of the SP cap to 750K. Are you going to be adding more things for people to skill into (SP sinks to be cynical) in order to keep the proportionality of SP gain to expenditure the same?

On a side note, I really have to fix my PS3 or buy a new one. Anyone not capping now, is missing out big time. Passive SP just got protostomped. I had 10 million SP that I had saved up through MCC and summer vacation. I spent it on 3 core skills and 2 optimizations in 3 minutes. My HMG and Heavy tree is nowhere near filled, and I still have holes in my GA Assault and GA Assault Rifle. Those level 5 optimizations skills really are a pain to finish when there are 5 sidearms to choose from...and that Min Assault that everyone is raving about....
I get it, I get it. And I completely agree. I had ~15 million unallocated SP last time I logged on, and I was hesitating about what to spend it on. SP gets drained by the current skill tree. But the skill multipliers could also have been adjusted to produce the same effect as raising the SP cap though right?
So you've made a pragmatic decision to just open the floodgates and mitigate the 'grind'. How does that affect long term thinking about progression?

You reset the whole skill tree, EXCEPT for Corporation Management skills. Resetting those as a CEO would disband your corporation immediately so those are left out.
What about if you were a naive noob who thought that you needed to skill into corporation management in order to join a corp, and then realised your mistake and then you never actually set up a corp, and you are not actually a CEO? Do you get the corp management skills back then?
Just asking a hypothetical question of course.

Try your best, earn those WP and win those battles, all the while raising your Loyalty Rank, and gaining more SP and ISK. This game is about winning and killing, let's never forget that.
If some people (including yourself?) struggle to cap the current weekly active SP, how are we going to hit 750K, if the above is true. Am I understanding it correctly; the SP per battle stays the same as current levels but the cap is raised to 750K? Um, isn't that the opposite of less grindy? As in grind your nuts off to cap out every week. Does increasing your loyalty rank increase the SP per battle as you rank up? How is this more convenient for people with IRL stuff to do?
You have to remember the hardcore players have an 'SP race' mentality.
