    Release Notes:
    • Added more specific text about which queues the player will be banned from when a leaver penalty is enabled.
    • Addressed a number of issues with the ship store, where the filmstrip would not match the information at the bottom.
    • City on the Edge of Never: B’Vat no longer cowers from Miral’s threats.
    • The Sao Paulo ship has a hull strength indicator again.
    • The Borg bridge officers are back in the C-store.
    • Players cannot join or create queue games while they are on any queue maps.
    • While on a mission map, the Transwarp icon in the mission tracker now appears disabled.
    • Increased rewards based on using uncommon, rare, or very rare doffs on assignments are now being properly adjusted.
    Those were communicated for "Tribble" by ZeroniusRex yesterday night.

    It was expected, after the quite buggy main push yesterday. I expect even another maintenance tomorrmeow to bring back the C-store interactions (claiming ships etc).

    Yeah, of course.
    Seriously, was it EVER diffrent when Cryptic applied a bigger patch?
    Doesnt change the fact that is sucks.... I mean the downtime starts prety exactly when I come home. Again. They dont really like us people over here...

    That downtime is fair bit later than usual, right at the start of the UK prime time :(

    But not unexpected that one or two bugs need fixed, though surprisingly this was the smoothest and bug less Season ever :eek:

    You know it really takes the p**s always doing maintenance in UK/EU Prime Time, in the afternoon etc and now 17:30-19:00 when most people have time to play.

    I scond that the late frequency of patches/maintenance outages is annoying, especially for European customers.

    However, it should also be mentioned that the time they do this is in the morning of a normal working day for them. So if anything goes realy bad during the update/maintenance they have the complete working day to solve it. So for me, even living in Europe, the time is acceptable. Just the frequency they have those outages lately is by far suboptimal.

    And to be fair, also their improved communication should be mentioned, they listed what they are working on already during the downtime. That's mutch better than the usual silence until it's done.

    The time makes sense as they are located in California, about half-way around the world from Europe.
    Inconvenient, I know. We need a flat earth. :)


    On the other hand, I just downloaded a 200 meg patch, but the server is still not up. Soon.
