Does today's server & login issues mean that we get a 24 hour extension on the Mirror Universe Incursion -- which is stated to be ending @ Thursday, April 3, 2014 ?

I was curious about this also. It would be nice if they did this, because I know some players that were not able to start it today.

I know it might be a little late to fix this now, but keep it in mind for the next time this rolls around and/or if you decide to keep this on the fleet actions list after the event ends and Multidimensional Transporters are no longer available...
The Romulan Ha'nom Guardian Warbird, despite being considered a "Science Vessel" in nearly every other respect, closes rifts at normal speed. Between this, and having either the firepower or durability of a potato chip (depending on whether your energy is configured to be offensive or defensive), I find my Ha'nom to be little more than cannon fodder that can toss a few debuffs on the enemy. It'd be nice to have this fixed.
(Also, it'd be nice to see a Jupiter boss once in a while, instead of only Gal-X or Odyssey, but that's just me.)

actually, it is classified as a warbird in every respect that just so happens to have science abilities. By your logic, the Odyssey science cruiser should be a science vessel since it has some science abilites to.

To quote the ship's description:
This vessel represents the latest developments in Romulan technology. Developed in tandem with the Ha'apax, the Ha'nom Guardian Warbird is slightly smaller, and designed for support. Although officially this is a Warbird, technically, it is a Science Vessel - complete with Subsystem Targeting, Sensor Analysis, and a bonus to Auxiliary.
By my definition (which I think is pretty close to the official one) a Science Vessel is a vessel with all three of these traits. The Sci-Oddy does have an Aux bonus and Sensor Analysis, but not Subsystem Targeting, so I consider it a sci-oriented Cruiser, not a Science Vessel.
...I really am enjoying this Mirror Universe event. However, due to the server going down, I was not able to access the game last night. As a result, I may not have enough of the devices to complete the special 50k crystal event before the end date. Would it be possible for us to have an extension on the initial end date please. It would be such a shame at being so close & lose out.:)

That is already planned, they stated it a coupel times that yes, there is going to be an extenstion.
I did this for close to a week on most of my characters for almost a week straight all I can say right now after have done it so many times...
TRIBBLE the rewards lol I'm done...
I'm close to doing that myself the time it takes and the crappy rewards and the amount of times my ships have blown up (The Dyson is one of the worst ships I have ever had and is decked out with a decent set. so going back to my star cruiser.) I'm tempted to say TRIBBLE the events even though I have 8 temporal things on one character and 7 on another before I get the ain reward but I'm beginning to think even the main reward is not worth the effort. May just go back to normal for the event if I can be bothered to q again

Is the Mirror event extended, because of the outage?
I ask cause i'm pretty sure I heard/read about it somewhere.
Cant remember.

Was it hard to find the link just 3 posts before your own? Of course that link is bad because it actually has the link to the official post. Askray linked to the official one in the link the person supplied. But still not hard to find.

I actually have had decent results with my dyson ships. I thought about it after I had already done a week on 23 characters figured might as well try to finish them even though its wearing me down. I wish they woulda put like you can turn in a week/7 days for just the doff or 14 days/2 weeks for the fm's/dilithium/and doff lol.
As for the Dyson ship you might want to try out my setup for them if you haven't done something similar. The sets I use on it are the solonae and the torp/experimental weapon/console from dyson rep. Then on front put experimental weapon/dyson photon torp/and a protonic polaron DHC and then 3 turrets rear. What I did after that is I put it where in SA/science mode for offensive I put it where I have energy siphon 1 and 2 and tykens 3 and for tactical put rapid fire 1 and 2 and scatter volley 3. So science mode I have heavy energy stealing and then tactical mode opens up aoe damage. Which one tactic I've begun to love is hitting up the science mode first then going into tactical right after that.
Another thing reason I chose protonic polaron and that dyson set with it is to benefit from the solonae DHC and its the only kind of weapon you can get that does proton damage so for tact consoles I put on those polaron/proton consoles. That one tactic of switching modes like that tho especially if you have that tyken rift doff from the CE event. You can take groups coming out of the rifts and basically strip them of power so even the ones that use emr to shields they won't have any shields to worry about lol. Overall though the dyson ships make a good combination of purposes if setup properly due to they can do great damage and also get the quicker period to close rifts.
Well just so long as they actually DO extend the mission some, and let us know at least a week in advance of the end, I'll be happy. Though if they wait until the day before its done to say "oh by the way, we're extending the event by a day" it would certainly be less useful.
I only have six days left to complete my Mirror Reputation rewards and the server is down AGAIN! Was the Foundry Bonus weekend really that much of a problem to where the game has to go down for the majority of the day just to install/uninstall the patch itself? I understand that coding can be a complex art-form so I can be patient on that aspect.
I miss the old mirror universe, this new mirror event is way too unnecessarily long, time-wise. I also miss how the events were offered. Now, all the "good" events are on the weekends, when I usually work and make a living. I can't really play on Friday or Saturday and Cryptic chose "the weekend" to offer Bonus Marks or Dilithium grinding. I miss how it was random but at least offered every day. Have you ever heard the saying "if it is not broke, do not fix it?" Well, the game wasn't really broken like this until Cryptic started running these events on weekends only. Now, the game is almost always down due to maintenance, I get disconnected from the server WAY more then I used to, and quite simply, the "energy" of game-play has definitely took a different direction then it was when events were an everyday and hourly thing.
Just had to vent that, sorry if I offended anyone.
Heh, I can't help but wonder WHO this official person who said they would extend it and word would be given Monday, seeing as it's now Tuesday and there was no word all day. I saw a CM say official word was yes and news would be announced monday, but I mean who told him?

Thats exactly the setup I have with a gravimetric torpedo at the front I don't use Tyken rift but I use gravity well 2 and 3 when in science mode and rapid fire and scatter volley when switching to tac mode I just think the survivability of the ship is bad even using ES and EMPTS and also the sheild you get with the ship I die very quickly. Even in KASE which I havent died in until I got the Dyson ship so I don't know whether the ship is bugged but as a science character I am dissapointed with that ship.

Said tons of times, science destroyers must be treated as science ships, this translates you should fly in science mode most of the times. In fact, in my fed version, i NEVER use tactical mode.. xD. Because honestly, its a waste. In my klingon version i use tactical mode, only sometimes, cuz i have the rapid cannon there, but 90% of the times i dont even use it. Its a waste of time and you will be losing focus and survivaility if you are not flying in the core mode (science).

Or if not an extension maybe a free one of those multidimensional Transporters to make up for it.

Yes the event is being extended
Now we just have to wait and find out by how much.
Anything more we should be thrilled and consider it a bonus.

TRIBBLE the rewards lol I'm done...
There has been numerous threads on this question, they are not hard to miss. The answer is yes, details will be released on Monday.
