    Hey!!!! Oy!!! Over here....yep down here....

    Arrrrrr....youu see us now.... that us land of Oz.

    This is not sharing the love!!!!

    Please alternate time of "down time/maintenance"!! Come on Devs would't that get ya some overtime every second week if you rotated AM /PM start time. Share the love Devs share......

    I'll answer this more directly. Cryptic tracks, very closely I might add, how many people are playing at a given time. They study this stuff and determined that this current time was when the fewest number of people were playing. So, there you go. No matter who tells you different (because this was from a Dev in last week's thread) Cryptic knows best how many people are on at this time.


    ...yes, I'll patrol for this same question next week.

    So, here we are again... Waiting for the return of cardassian- and ferengi-lockboxes.

    Why do you have to ruin all our business to sell those old boxes? If you give us the boxes back, why don't you give us a lockbox-launcher, so we could throw these "again worthless" lockboxes back at the Borg?!?

    Have you simply run out of ideas? I've heared rumors about Orion-Lockboxes (with half-naked Orions inside) and Deferi-Lockboxes (with semi assimilated Deferi inside)...

    Why bother, it will just be directed at the same people. They didn't listen the first time and they won't listen the following week.

    Even if a developer visited every one of them personally and explain it with charts and graphs. They would still keep asking for it to change.

    well everyone be getting the defiant since it is going down to teir 2 from what i reading on the notes

    Hmmm I didn't quite see that in the notes anywhere... I saw where operational assets were being moved down but not actual ships...

    I dunno unless I misread somewhere.

    Edit: That has to be the operational assets from the store and not the actual playable ships because most of those KDF ones mentioned we do not even have playable in the game. Would be great to be able to purchase a Zilant Battleship for my Gorn though. If its only through fleet shipyard would love to have that ship though.

    You are correct. It is the summoned ship, not the actual playable ship. Zero cleaned it up in a post on the Tribble patch notes yesterday.

    I was kinda hoping I was wrong and that feds got a defiant at tier 2 and that KDF got to play a Zilant even if it was Tier 5 lol :D

    In a Q&A with dstahl on Raptr, it was said that (and I don't remember/wholly understand these details) that the authentication scripts/codes would need to be entirely re-written, and therefore is far down on the list.

    What do you mean by "here"? :) It's 16:30 UTC, 18:30 in my country (GMT+2) so we all have to wait 30 more minutes. Or less.
    Yeeeesss!!! I did it!!

    Re-check your timezone math. This week they blocked off 3 hours instead of the 2 of last week, so therefore they still have approx 30 minutes left in their approx window. Remember it's not uncommon for things to take a little longer. Sometimes it is a little quicker than predicted though.

    Agreed, however patching is up earlier than normal. So here is hoping the servers will be back up early :D

    The german launcher says the game would be down until 18:00 o'clock... I'm in germany and it is 18:36...

    At least they got the correct date into it (this time)...

    My launcher says 1400-1700 UTC. What time zone do you live in? I repeat: in my country it is 18:40 now, but I have time zone GMT+2. That means maintenance takes time between 16:00 and 19:00 in my coutry. I have to wait 20 more minutes.
    Yeeeesss!!! I did it!!
