Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, November 8th, at 7AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to only last for 2 hours. The test servers may also be unavailable during this time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    I just logged out of the game and the loader downloaded a 1200 meg patch, that seems pretty big just for server stability so I don't think S7 is too far off.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC

    They also dropped Season 6 on the Thursday following the Test Weekend without any notice what-so-ever.

    So if you are planning on getting Dil for any of your Borg stuff I would do it before tomorrows patch, just in case.

    While a big auto-patch right on the Wednesday immediately following the test weekend has already sent up a big red flag to me, S6's surprise update took 6 1/2 hours. But they were converting Cryptic Points to Zen, so the extra time could have been that they had to be careful dealing with people's money. However, I still doubt this is S7 that is impending tomorrow. If it isn't tomorrow, it is next Thursday with absolute certainty. But I won't leave out the possibility of S7 being dropped on us like a ton o' bricks tomorrow.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    If you guys payed attention over the last few months you would start to get a good look at the constant patching, thus making a good flow chart of when the next big patch are, I can grantee that Season 7 release date will be the 15th of November... thats when the Season 6 Fleet Star base Limited Special Project #10 will come out, as for what Cryptic said the Release date of Season 7 was going to be in the first half of November, so there you have it season 7 release date is going to be Nov 15th, its logic...

    I was out of the loop for that because it was a surprise for me :) Listen to my interview on TiE about it. A season launch can not be a surprise for me because I'm responsible for posting the news that it's live and for all the pages that get updated :P

    A date will be revealed soon.

    Speaking of STF surprises, I have always been a bit curious about the borg processing node in Infected Ground Elite titled "Brandon's Node". Does it mean that.... you are one with the collective? :D It is located in the hallway right before Captain Ogen's room.

    Long story short:

    Before working here, I wrote a parody song about STO that was about the Borg. In the original Infected, you had to take out the nodes and it was always a joke when we got to that one because it was on a box to the left (Beyonce: to the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left -- Brandon: to the left, to the left, target that node on the box to the left). Then the node was removed during the revamp, (right after I started working here) and then the song didn't make sense anymore. I told Gozer, and he put it back and called it Brandon's Node LOL

    Subspace Radio plays the song once in a while. You can request it :D

    Hehe, a very interesting story indeed. With that information about the nodes, I looked at an old version of the STO Wiki article walkthrough. According to that, the nodes had to be destroyed or the borg would respawn into infinity :eek:. From what you are saying, it sounds like your node used to be a very powerful entity. Thanks for sharing the backstory :). As for the song, I will certainly submit a request for it. Do you happen to know the song title?

    Yep! I remember that walkthrough :D

    The song is "indestructible".

    Thanks, I will submit the request now.

    EDIT: Found it on Youtube. Hahaha, manufacture 18 redshirts in a minute. The song is very well made and quite funny. Maybe you could talk your colleagues into slipping the song into the season 7 patch notes. I can see it now "Added a new song to Infected Ground Elite" :D.

    Are you sure that time converter is right for Romania (Bucharest time) ?
    If the last maintenance were at the same time (7-9 am PDT) the server went down at 14:00 pm not 17:00.
    From what i've read on that website,Romania (Bucharest) is -7 hours behind PST which would mean 14:00 pm Bucharest = 7:00 am PST ?
    Kinda confusing these time zones,but, anyways ,hope this time the maintenance would last 2 hours and not 6 or 8 :D
    Thanks.
