We will be bringing down the shard for a restart on Saturday, January 28th from 7:00AM to 8:30AM PST (1500 to 1630 UTC). We will provide an update once the maintenance has been completed.
honestly after the inability for the server to launch ship action maps on the Borg and mirror universe events over and over again not to mention the dylithium exchange bug and server failing to respond time and time again after the "no maintenance downtime" experiment on thursday that caused oh so many problems.
take it down once a week, take a few hours, fix the damn thing properly, rinse and repeat weekly

and i agree the Maco Shield FX is HORRIBAD... a white flash that looks fugly and freezes the Framerate for a few frames *ugh* (and no idea what it actually does ;P )
Please in future NEVER EVER bring the server down on a Saturday!!
FFS, I woke up and wanted to play STO this afternoon, and now I can't.
It's starting to get that the server is down when I want to play more often than it's up..
You want a game where the server isn't almost always down or booting you out? WoW...
I play STO again because they went free to play. When I first had an account, it was almost 17 a month to subscribe, and the bugs were WORSE. Personally, though, if I was going to pay x dollars a month for a game, hiccups and all, it wouldn't be this one.
Even though I'm a HUGE star trek fan.
im very angry as well. its now DAILY DOWNTIMES always at EUROPE main playtime !!! this is really really annoying.
weekly downtimes, once a week, at monday/tuesday at mainplaytime in europe, would be acceptable, but DAILY ? we in europe technically can never play the game, if were not ready to become night-active mammals ...
It 10am on Saturday on East coast of US. So what? There server need to come down for maintance. Hope on tribble. Test out the two new ships and the borg stf ground gear.

blizzard has it's servers down for this amount of time for a reboot. regular maitenance times are usually six hours. This game doesn't do extensive maitenance, unlike blizz, and isn't as old as say WoW. there are going to be more bugs as a result. Personally, I'd be happy if they sold to blizz so whether it stayed f2p or not, the bugs would be worked out in a matter of months.

The problem is the time needs changeing a little each time so the same group do not lose out.
holodeck is down not tribble! In fact I am on tribble right know testing my Odyssey Class
Let us no how it goes, thats my next flagship if its any good. Bought the Dreadnought the other day, what a mistake that was. I can leave it turning in space, go shopping, make the kids dinner then come back, and still its turning to face the enemy.:p

even cruisers have a bad turning ratio. dreadnoughts even more so. Tactical and science vessels are better for maneuverability. Cruisers and dreadnoughts are better for being big slow tanks.

Indeed, although i can actually live with the slow turn rate on my star cruiser, but the dreadnought, i fall asleep waiting for that thing. Flown it 3 times, its now in space dock collecting dust.

LOL @ the thought of the Enterprise-D maneuvering like the Defiant. That's insane! LOL

On my engineer, when I get sick of the turn ratio, I just take my tactical vessel out for a spin instead.

ahahahahahahahaha....grabs popcorn......threads like this are always fun to watch!
It's a maintenance restart, not a patch. If it was a patch, they'd have said they were applying a patch.

That said, It hasn't been so bad this past week, so I am ok with it this time.
Well, I never saw this coming... :rolleyes:
what dilithium exchange bug!?

I have a better game. Guess where the poster lives.
Anyway this week wasn't THAT bad and it's a weekend. I still expect the same bugged Red Alerts after the maintenance though.
