Does this mean they'll extend the CE event? Seeing as how it was supposed to run until 10am PDT today, but in actuallity by bringing the servers down, it ended at 7am PDT.

No, highly unlikely they will. Maintenance is scheduled to be done on any given day they need to and we've had days to collect shards already, a few hours more or less shouldn't make much difference imo.

A few more hours makes ALL the difference. I need 1 more shard, and my timer wasn't up until 9am PDT. I would have been able to complete the event. Now, I have to wait until next time. I don't always play this game, so I wasn't able to get in on it from the very beginning like others. Just bad form to put in an event with an end date/time, and then take your game down hours before it ends, and work through the end of the event.

If it's what I think is, and it's true, that will be awesome! Just gotta see my weps fire!
Yeah, I was having the same issue with my plasma cannons. I could see them initially fire, but they almost immediately faded out. Also noticed this with beams at times.
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

This is the way it's always been with regard to Events and Scheduled Maintenance.
Events tend to end on a maintenance day at the same time, every time. Scheduled Maintenance tends to start at the same time, every time. Events are not extended because of Scheduled Maintenance. Why Cryptic chooses to schedule these thing this way, I have no idea, but it's not new and most people tend to plan around this. If you were unable to plan accordingly that's not their fault.
Extensions seem to be given only when there are issues on their end during the regular Event time that would affect players from completing said Event, not because players cannot find time in their personal lives to take part in any given Event.
I feel your "pain" though. I have a couple of Captains that were unable to complete this Event with only 1 Shard shy of completion, too. But you know what? It's OK. As long as you keep the project slotted, you can complete it next time the Event comes around again, and it'll only take the 1 Shard to complete and you can move on to the next project.

This was the one line worffan101 forgot from his play enacting the typical Maintenance thread...
Anyway, it will be nice to see my own beams again... Have to look at the DPS in the chatwindow to make sure my beams were still working

Yep, might be nice to see an actual full TS3 quantum torpedo spread instead of a full TS3 quantum ghost doughnut spread lol.
Longer then three hours now, did you missplace the Server Powering rodents? Or was they truly where this mornings bacon came from? ETA of new replacement SPRS'?
...
Focus on making the game better by focusing on what you already HAVE, the player base you HAVE, the problems you HAVE, before introducing something new for once...
you forgot the money you HAVE.
No new content means no new "shinnies" to buy.
If they just worked on bugs, we'd never would of had Season 2.
Don't stop new content on account of bugs in old content.

You knew the servers come down on Thursdays.
You knew the event was going on.
You've had plenty of time to get your 14 shards.
Make more of an effort to get on to play so you can get your shards.
Check STO's site for news, read the launcher, etc.
It's your fault not theirs.

Not sure how many times I need to say it, so I'll just keep bringing it up each time the Known Issues are posted.
