    I'm experiencing the same thing as well. While its good to know that it's not a problem on my end, I'm sad the servers are down yet again.

    They have 5 days to sort this (well 35 really) or they'll find a mass exodus of subs... when you pay to play you want to be able to play... or you walk...

    Aye - same.

    Happened right as I warped out of the KINJER system upon mission completion of Patrol ORION sector.

    Warped out, but did not leave, so logged off (MISTAKE) waited a few minutes, and then BAMMO!

    Same here, nothing like spending all day repeating missions because the loading screen takes soooo long, then get disconnected because of "server not responding" then taking 15 mins to get through the retrieving characters and maps,....then repeat the mission,...what a great head start!!!

    Just FYI, everyone. I was having the issue and eventually managed to get in. The server is NOT DOWN ...yet. The GMs messaged everyone in-game that they're having performance issues and they're working on them. Let's cut them some slack. I feel generous.

    Well I dont! Didnt we hear the fanboi mantra for weeks "this is beta". And now it isnt, and its SSDD.
