    This is a beta, I am sure when you are paying for the game they will be a little bit more circumspect about bringing servers down during prime time.

    The game is pretty well polished. Once they fix some of the bugs, perhaps add more content to the turtoual. I think this game will turn out great. I wanted to smack myself silly when I realized bridge officer points was only a single pool for all my bridge officers. Opposed to each officer earning his/her own points. Not a big deal, Just glad I made that mistake in beta opposed to release.

    Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    Many of the people complaining about mainenance during beta, at whatever time it happens, will be the same ones complaining that they are paying for beta after release.

    As for me, if they find things to fix and have the staff who can fix it at work and able to do so, then they should do it whenever possible. If they keep putting off maintenance of issues to accommodate the convenience of play time then they fall that much further behind schedule.

    Thank you devs for being on top of whatever and whenever. I would like to log in too, but I'm more concerned with the final product than the convenience of playing at this moment.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Sadly I have First Contact on a DVD and a copy on a shared drive but I'm watching it edited on SyFy with commercial breaks, mainly to help pass this waiting time.


    When did the emergency part go away?

    HAHA, I didn't realize my ability screen scrolled, so most of the ability points i spent on myself for my ship were only in what you could see without scrolling. Sure glad i did that in beta :eek:

    Kinda reminds all them signs that just say back in five minutes, with out the time they left....

    could maybe future posts include an es st, and an es tc, ie estimated start time, and estimated time of completion?

    and a tool to convert said times into local time, for those of us too lazy to do the math in our heads.... :P

    ok its called Beta TEST for a reason....

    Perhaps testing our patience so they know what they can get away with in the future :O

    Hey but to be on the bright side, at least its not "normal" maintenance. Remember, this is just "brief"

    Yes its a Beta. But heres a tip. You want a stress test? Don't take the beta offline during what is the peak playtime for most individuals. How do we stress it then?

    I do play to test. I report every bug I find. I can't find a single one trolling the forums though. You want testers? Have to make the game available. Can't test when we are at work or asleep.

    Plus, they better get into the habit of patching not during peak hours. Someone said "No one is volunteering to come in at 4am" or something else equally stupid involving 4am. Well again, I point to live... What are you going to do then.

    This is a legitimate complaint. Want testers, have the dam game up and able to be tested.

    Translated.....I don't have a life....Daddy I want to play NOW!!!!!!.......
