    Well just out of curiosity I tried logging on. I got me to the download screen and patched up a 1118MB patch in just under 5 mins, then booted me off lol

    I would of thought S6 would be more in the GB not MB's?

    If you are currently patched up on Tribble, it copies those to the live install, saving you from having to download the full patch.

    There is no Guarantee it is Season 6 we are only hoping it is and all the other rimes a new mission was on it was in the MB's anyway so chances are it may be the same

    1118 MB patch?!?! If this isn't Season 6, then what the hell is it!?!?

    Just how big IS season six? :eek:

    You probably have on demand patching on because its even bigger than that.

    wrong that, only "would" mean that i dont have to DL the "extra" 96 mb from last weekend and the 190mb from 2 weeks ago.
    but this still does not explain why ppl have do supposesly download the 1100mb, which is only the indicated files on HD.

    at last, i hope that i am wrong and E6 comes out today... but i still dont see any proof for that.

    Then look at the build numbers on Tribble and the newly patched Holodeck. The numbers are the EXACT same except holodeck is incremented one higher. Indicates that the current tribble build got an update and then pushed to Holodeck.

    The size of the patch does not mean we'll see Season 6 now. This could be a pre-patch, instead.

    Tipp to decrease the amount the next time: Patch the Tribble Server from time to time. The game will then copy data from the TTS to your Holodeck Server folder.

    So your advice is to scroll through 49 pages of who called who what, who thinks what's going to happen? Sorry, I have a life and a job and a family. Hence my 2 posts (now 3) so far.

    I'm just passing on what I saw, TRYING to be helpful.
    Which is apparently a rare thing... I'll shut up now. :-\

    Whoa there. Scrolling back was only a *suggestion* (it wasn't that far back anyway). I say anything these days and it gets misunderstood. Well, well, I guess it doesn't matter as long as you understand that I meant no harm.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Not sure if any of you are aware and I do not want to look though 50 pages of text, but keep loading the 'loader' every 30 minutes, I keep patching random amounts of MB's / GB's..... this may / may not help in a reduced download time when the 7 hours completes. you will not get in the game obviously, but the patching seems to get updated incrementally there end over the down time period. so keep up with it... :)

    Just took another 3GB's on Holodeck, and now another 5Gb's on Tribble..

    This was a pre-launch patch. This means it is being implemented.

    No, FWIW you're 46% into a patch, which changes 3.6GB of content.

    Your actual download size is pretty small...

    .. It also means you haven't been keeping tribble up to date. tut tut!

    I've never used the Tribble server yet..was only last night a joined a new fleet who knew what they were doing and told me were to look to join Tribble...:D

    Though I've been 'pre-patching' the last dozen or so times I've logged off, so thats maybe why I've not had the full 3.6Gb hi like some of the players.

    But a 3.6gb Patch, a 7 hours server shutdown and everyone getting excited...it has to be S6 roll out!


    ......Sh*t I've just tempted fate and now this was just 'routine long-haul maintenance' lol

    Maybe this is what the patch is:

    Added seven new types of lockboxes, continued Ferengi boxes, brought back Cardassian boxes.
    Made one-shot kill plasma torpedoes in stfs instantly kill all players within 10 km of the blast.
    Postponed S6 until next month.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    think of it like this, with people spending money on those kinda ships asap they won't have as much experience for teh struggle like you and i. in the end saving up dilitium you'll have better gear when you can afford that brand new atrox or some other nice ship :)
