In game of course. Will supposedly help faciliate larger fleet fights.
tl;dr: version
"Time dilation slows down time so the server can keep up with what y'all are doing. We're going to work on it nowish and if everything works out you'll see it some time not quite soon."
Quite a good technical read about what they are proposing at the link below.

If anything the article goes a long way to explaining the challenges every MMO Dev team has to deal with when trying to incorporate large scale fights and how they try to work through it.

So they will work on it "nowish" and we will see it "not quite some time soon."
Does that basically mean, its on the list but not really that important? It honestly sounds like that to me.
Yea, I wouldn't not important but "on the list" defo lol.
This is not a game.
Well, it does say in the detailed log they first piloted this last August so they definitely aren't rushing, but there is a hint we could see it later this fall.
Remember, EVE players are used to being patient, heck, just look at how Incarna's been going on for so long.

I'm suddenly reminded of Valve times...

I really like this idea. Not that I do much massive fleet fights but the lag was a good reason behind this.
They have some huge projects on the go at the moment, I wouldnt like for this to get in the way of Incarna so I'm not so botherd about it coming the end of the year.
