Any chance we can get a tweet when everything is back up and running, I'm getting myself confused with the constant time zone calculations. Plus I can then step away from the computer instead of constantly checking the forum for updates.
Nope, the current time over the dam at Cryptic HQ is 09:30 accosrding to the clock at the bottom of the forums. Also timeanddate.com converts it to 22:00 GMT/CET or 23:00 GMT/CET +1...

Well thats what i get when i type in PDT Pacific Daylight Time) USA & Canada. So unless Cryptic is not in this Hemisphere then that should be the time there. Hence why people are asking what time is it for the different timezones. I can only work on what I am giving. LOL.
But yer the Red Box showing the time Server will be back up pwebranflakes on the Star Trek Online Web page still shows:
"We will be performing shard maintenance on April 4th from 7-11 AM PST (1400-1800 UTC). Please check the forums for more information."
So this has not been updated. Hence a lot of unhappy customers when they loginto web page to check why its down. LOL. Can you please update this please.
So, like so many others i see all the time, games should be dumbed down from any form of stratagy to just no thinking button mashing mentality with an i win button for when i am about to die type gameplay. I think more games should force players to think. in a whole i believe our society would be better off if ppl thought more instead of expect more from others and not themselves.
just me 2 cents, but in this day and age, guess its up to 2 dollars in value....
this is not meant as a flame, just my personal observation i decieded to voice.
i didn't said it is a bad nerfed or a good nerfed. i just said it is a nerf. so your personal observation is not really neccesary
ps:this is flame!
The weapon didnt affect the player before this patch was implemented... so they did add AOE damage to it..... they added AOE damage to the player.
By deffinition a nerf is somthing that changes the desirability of a game item, or it's effectiveness. So I will give you that, but if you didnt park nose to nose with your target when you fired it.. it wouldnt effect you at all. Change you piloting style and it wont effect you negatively.
We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, April 4th, at 7AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to only last for 4 hours. The test server may also be unavailable during this time.
Thanks for your patience and understanding,
- The Star Trek Online Team
UPDATE #1 (4/4 @ 9:57AM PDT): Our new ETA is 1PM PDT (2 hours later than originally thought). We are performing a pretty significant network maintenance and update today so this also affects our other Cryptic games. The goal of the maintenance is to reduce latency and connection issues. Please also note that this maintenance could cause connection to the site and launcher to be intermittent. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We'll get you back in-game ASAP.
UPDATE #2 (4/4 @ 10:17AM PDT): It looks like our Engineers are going to need a bit more time. New ETA is 2PM PDT. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
its now 18:40 in the UK...cant get on star trek online...is it still down for maintainence?
hahahaha they take servers down more ofter and w/o notice over there than STO does. At lest the devs here try and tell you whats up and if its taking longer.
So according to PWEbranflakes it is 10:41am there. So if Shard is down till 2pm there then in UK it will be bk up at 9pm tonght. Wow. So the USA is goner get more play time than me. URGH. LOL. Addiction. Nooooo. Must now go call Start Trek Online Anomolous Hotline. LOL. Suggest instead of Whinning about it being down others call the STOA hotline. LOL. maybe we can start an new Addictions group. LOL.
Yes, that should be fixed to default to the active craft, but untill they fix it there is a simple workaround for this problem:
It does not default to the Shuttle.
It sorts ship and shuttle alphabetically by name, and defaults to he first in that list.
So if you rename them in a way that the ship's name comes before the shuttle's name in the Alphabet, it will default to the Ship
tried that myself, thought that would fix it , but mine still defaults to my shuttle, which i named zena so it would show up last
Here's a thought... Instead of labeling maint for n hours and going over, label it for 8 or 9 and then if you finish earlier it's a bonus.
Star Trek online players are like starship captains. They want everything right now and they want it their way. The secret is to give them what they need, not what they want.
Wait, what?
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

I saw the banner. Been up for two days, mentioning shard maint. I dunno what a "shard" is but, it said nothing about servers.....rofl
Wich is 19:27 GMT/CET +1 (comp clock might be a tad off for some reason I see)
But yer the Red Box showing the time Server will be back up pwebranflakes on the Star Trek Online Web page still shows:

Timezones, why u keep confusing me so??
Oh well, servers will be back up to late for me to play anyhow, sadly...
i didn't said it is a bad nerfed or a good nerfed. i just said it is a nerf. so your personal observation is not really neccesary
ps:this is flame!
so it's a nerfed after all...
Indeed it has. We are all doomed. Doomed I say!!
Insults will get you nowhere. It doesn't matter how big a clock is, timezones will confuse just about anyone who doesn't think about them constantly
Don't worry about coming back either.
there are other games go play them like i am doing
{UFP} Diplomatic Corps Foreign Officer, Romulan Imperial Guard Officer
tried that myself, thought that would fix it , but mine still defaults to my shuttle, which i named zena so it would show up last

Wait, what?
Maybe ship's counselors should be issued tranquilizer guns. Our last best hope for universal peace.
i feel your pain, my wife has started to find things for me to do
The US Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is GMT -8. Does this help?
7 hour downtime for a patch is quite long though, if the patch was tested on Tribble already. And I'm home today only, oh well, no STO for me.
Hoping for a miracle worker...
