Scheduled Maintenance No Patch (April 17, 2014) [Complete!]

Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, April 17th, at 7AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for our weekly scheduled maintenance and to restart the server -- there are no patch notes as there is no new patch being applied, and we expect this maintenance to last for 2 hours. The test server, launcher and access to manage your account may also be unavailable during some portions of the maintenance.

There are no patch notes as there are no player-facing changes being applied.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    I don't know how I feel about patch thursday anymore. Last week Trendy finally proved that she had bacon. Yes she showed that she was honest about the bacon but something didn't sit right. She had been going on and on about bacon for the past few week but there was only 2 slices.

    There have been many of us coming to the forums but why does she promote bacon and only show us 2 slices. Is it a case of her trying to be honest or was it a form of taunting? She didn't offer us any or at the very least that there is enough bacon to go around.

    Even if there wasn't enough to go around and if there was no reasonable way for any of us to receive the bacon, the gesture of offering us a slice would have been nice.

    I had requested that bacon become a food item in game. My main character has been on active duty for 151 days. He has never has the pleasure of eating bacon. Sure he could try a feline supplement 74 from the replicator but why would he want that when there is bacon at PWE and they are not sharing?

    Part of the community teams job is to forward feed back to the devs letting them know what we want. Has the request of bacon been forwarded? Are we being heard?

    I believe we are being teased and taunted at a level only comparable to The Tetris God.

    Hrmmm, perhaps for those that win the Twitcheroonie thing that can't get the Logitech loot or would prefer something else...might be offered a gift certificate for bacon instead...

    Hrmmm, still think Cryptic needs to go into the microwave popcorn business...the forums are proof of that, eh? Perhaps they could partner with a fine provider of bacon cuisine.

    No player-side changes, just behind the scenes, huh?

    I guess this means that tomorrow's downtime is just to give the new hamsters a chance to get used to the wheel before putting them to work.

    with as many people are having issues and problems with "invalid skills" popping up in game and having to respec their skills?? I can wait.. I can wit forever.. Sorry Cryptic. Nerfing your best plyers characters is not the way to gain friends and keep customers.

    I hardly doubt it was intentional, even ignoring the sarcasm

    Still, in wake of Season 9 launch, it just might become insignificant for a little XD

    LOL. Never even heard of this alleged issue. Sounds like what you need to do, is do a clean install again, and get some fresh air (not necessarily in that particular order).

    It does sorta exist, though he didn't specify that it's Rep skills that are affected

    Fairly recent, and as I stated to him, not likely intentional

    The question is: How long before we get a "Where are the patch notes" thread in general? This is despite being told there are no patch notes.

    It's not a nerf. Think of it as a free respec. I wish I could get this to actually happen on characters that could use it, though, instead of just blank characters I haven't allocated skills on because I haven't selected a ship for them yet. How can having NO skills allocated be invalid, anyway?

    I got that "invalid skills" notification after I switched to the Mobius, and it actually helped me. More than just remaking my skills, I was able to completely redo my traits, and my reputation abilities too. Thanks to that free respec, my Mobius is much more deadly than my MVAE ever was. Thank you! :D

    But seriously, since PvP is the only true end game content in this game I wouldn't mind deleting all Missions, PvE and it's grind...

    Drats...was so close to finishing CCE...only to be robbed by the temporary erasure of the universe :p cheers for the downtime, though - all systems, no matter biological or technological, need rest and maintenance once in a while.

    Oh, it's not erased. It's just temporally displaced into one of my 6th dimensional handbags. It's all a bunch of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff really.

    About the only excuse for today's no-patch is this coming Tuesday's release of Season 9. I wonder if the blasted "disappearing weapon" bug for the animations will be included. I should probably make another thread later about the Steamrunner (blockade runner escort) and window set 1 not looking right (oh wait, I just mentioned it here LOL :D).

    Wait...does that mean that the fight's still going on in your handbag? Because...well, my crew doesn't really understand concepts like maneuvers, transferring shield power, and using their Gods-given abilities. Which means me poor Ody will be space decor when I return :P

    Also, if it's all a bunch'a wibbly wobbly timey wimey goobly gibbles, perhaps you can merge a few timelines and give me some customization options for my Ody...not that it doesn't look great as-is, but most of the other ships have at least one other to swap 'parts' with...

    You clearly need one of the new 11th dimensional handbags. They come with a quantum entanglement device so that you never lose your stuff again.
    Or how about a Schr
