If there's no patch, why am I downloading 190MB of code?

Are they pre-patching season 9?
They're not really gone, as long as we remember them

    What you are downloading is a Server stability Patch - the patch cleans up some of the network issues between you and the Server. It has nothing to do with the game or pre-patching for Season 9.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Your Duty Officers are downloading Vulcan Love Slave 7: Pon Farr Pretties on Demand. That's what you're downloading.

    190 megs is not a season prepatch. It'd be in the gigs (not to mention announced on the forums, twitter, facebook etc)

    Also, do realize that while the patch size SAYS 190, that's normally never what you actually download it tends to be less.
    Yes, I'm that Askray@Batbayer in game. Yes, I still play. No, I don't care.

    Be thankful you can patch = http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1079411

    and usually when it comes to the pre-season stealth patching you generally find you will get a minimal patch upon exiting the game in the lead up to the new season so that on the day of release its not so big a download for us all...

    From now on Tribbles will only re-produce if you take them and pet them twice every hour. And you MUST have Vulcan Ale in your inventory!

    From the Maintenance News thread:
    There are no patch notes as there are no player-facing changes being applied. Upon login you will see a small update. This is a stability update.

    If it's like previous season launches, more like Server Instability Patch.

    Stability patch? If so, it didn't work.
    I've had nearly 20 disconnects in the last two hours.
    I've had maybe one disconnect in the last week or two before this patch.

    And the whole game crashed about a minute before I posted this.

    so why am I only seeing this stability patch after I log out..and get the launcher popping back in my face to download this, when it shoulda grabbed it before letting me into the game today?
