Quick note: The rollback change from being able to play any mission you want, whenever you want, is not likely permanent. As I mentioned on the stream tonight, the way it was working would lead to brand new players getting tons of auto-hails and seeing 40 missions the first time they met Quinn or J'mpok. We're working on a fix so that you can still play any mission wherever, but if you're new, you won't get overwhelmed by seeing all of them at once. That should hopefully come soon, but until then, going back to "skip to whatever mission you want to play" was the best compromise.

Kind of strange how there just happens to be a problem with purchasing the T1 Oberth.

I am still hopeful that we'll see a T6 Oberth.

Understood, it's better than being spamcalled. xD

Advert found on ESD: "Want to sneak around unseen on Earth Spacedock? Grow a beard!" Reply advert found under it: "I guess this explains why we haven't seen any Klingons lately."

still not fixed the landing page spamming your customers every character change. I'm not surprised, you never have been able to get it to work, so now instead of appearing as described by AmbassadorKael as once per character per login, You've abandoned trying to fix it and now spamming us every character change is working as intended.

Personally I hate the landing page. I prefer to see it gone

Hard wired into the ESC menu now so just make a keybind for logging out.

Personally I'm wondering if this will be the actual UTC time quoted or the more usual +- 1hour nonsense.

I, for one, am happy to see the above fixes. The issue of not being able to equip ships properly was getting annoying.

Maintenance is always at 3pm - 5.30pm UTC (GMT) unless otherwise stated for extended downtime or for a new season or for new content.
I would like if possible to see implemented a tweet system introduced when maintenance begins and ends so players are made aware when then can jump back into game. Something in the same vain as SWTOR who tweet when downtime has begun and ended.

I know in the larger picture there are more immediately bugs to fix but its the little things in life that matter and a feature that prevents access to your characters before closing should have a disable option esp as the thing is bound to the options menu so you to also see it if you select options. So twice for every character switch

I would rather not use Twitter myself unless I have to know some updates. I just wish that the Forums were used more to let people know about specific things that are changed in game, like things that the core team has done to the engine or things like that. Though it would be cool if Star Trek Online had its own Discord channel, more interaction with the devs not just weekly livestreams.
