    Look, it's really quite simple:

    Engineering: "Captain, it's gonna take two hours to repair the warp core!"
    *half hour later*
    Engineering: "Captain, we're good to go!"

    =

    Captain: "... I need to promote my chief engineer!" O.o

    However:

    Engineering: "I need two and a half hours to repair the warp core."
    *2.5 hours later*
    Engineering: "I need another half hour."

    =

    Captain: "... I need to maroon my chief engineer!" -.-

    See where I'm coming from? ;)

    So... you're saying that Scotty's on vacation this week? Dammit!

    It's worse than that; he's drunk, Jim. ;)

    You preform server maintenance uniformly every Thursday from 0700-0930 PST which is 1000-1230 EST, for valuable and loyal members of the community that reside on the east coast that work at night instead of during the day this is a prime time to turn on our game. Can you choose a less intrusive time, like earlier in the AM even for easterners or in the middle of the night?

    Thank you for this consideration, and thank you for this wonderfully addicting game

    Yeah! Cryptic needs to take Scotty's method... tell them it takes 4hrs when it takes 2. Then you're a hero.

    Geordi tells the captain how long it will take and then Picard gives him half that. Geordi was always rushed.

    Look at Scotty's gut, he had plenty of free time, obviously. :D

    That request has been made in several variations over and over for many months now. And nothing has changed. I resign myself to the fact it won't change.

    Isn't 'always'. Hell I'd be happy with 'occasionally'.

    It always happens at my best time of the day, as well.

    Just got used to it, is all. It's only one day a week... unless they break something...

    I'm a computer programmer and I use Scotty's method all the time and it's great. Seems Cryptic likes the reverse effect, over promise and seem like they failed for not delivering on time.

    About the time they pick to do it, they probably come in one hour early to work and it's the first thing they do out there in CA. Good way to kill time early in the morning when work drags horribly.

    Since you're a bacon fan, you should try bacon jerky if you haven't already.

    We got Lord Gar on the CO side to eat some. He said it was incredible.

    He ate this one: http://www.wildbillsfoods.com/product/productslist/1/Bacon%20Jerky
