Legitimate Queue Issue - Being booted back to Login Screen

After waiting in queue from anywhere from 1-5 minutes the queue screen automatically boots me back to the login screen. I know this is not just my issue as it is being reported by others in less contrustive threads. Also, the queue numbers vary each time I attempt to login. I have been 804 of 804, 673 of 673 and 64 of 321 in the last 10 minutes. Any dev response to a fix for this would be appreciated. Please post your legitimate queue bugs here. No ranting please.

    I was initially 144 of 443. I noticed that the position field didn't seem to update but current queue size did. I cancelled and went to 429 of 429. There was an initial shadow of my previous login queue before it updated, ie. it showed my older queue message for a few seconds before updating. I was in Queue initially for about 15 minutes. Not sure if my position wasn't updating or the queue just wasn't moving.

    [Nevermind, queue position is updating,. Just very slowly. Think I'll just play Mass Effect 2 til release date.]

    The queue appears to be very inconsistant. I had the same behavior the OP was describing. Window appears then I get booted back to login.

    After doing this several times the game connected me to the servers and I was able to play straight away - despite a previous box saying there were 202 people waiting. I think something is not quite working properly here.

    After finally getting into the game I find out from other players the server is going down for maintenance. Why was there no post on the forums? I would have used my computer for something else than sitting in a queue. This is starting to get silly.

    got back in game after the being Queue'd in went to Hromi Cluster to Explore.....

    Went to some planet and now stuck at the loading page.... after being number 125 out of 500 for a Queue System lost count after log in.

    Got kicked back out still in line at 125 out of 527 + players.

    + I now have a black screen as to where there was a loading page for the Queue System....

    But the Queue System is the only thing showing up on the page now......

    Besides the STO number below in the lower left hand corner.....

    Update To Issue: I remained at position 64 until the queue went up to 812. When it reached this amount I loaded the game, without dropping any positions at all closer to 0. I am not sure what the issue is with the queue software being implemented, but I also noticed that you are unable to select a server of play. If there is only one server it seems to be being overloaded... but if it assigns a server there is no guarantee you will ever play with the same people including your friends. It seems as though there are multiple queues running but I doubt they are running to the same server. I have seen many fluctuations between queue counts, from thousands to hundreds to tenths. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I plan on continuning to play STO however the most buggy times seem to be on initial logging on and mission continuation after a server reset. The downtime for the headstart is also being caused by multiple issues that are being fixed, but compounds these problems with the queue software.
