Darthwoo I've got the same problems you have. Tech support has been absolutely useless, they keep telling me my computer isn't powerful enough to run STO which is rediculous - it runs fine if I can ever get into the game. I managed to get in once today for about 15 minutes, but as soon as I tried to switch characters I got a login server timeout and never could get back in. It's been about a week for me as well. So far I can't even get Tech Support to admit they have a problem.
Past couple of days, the launcher has been getting stuck. Even the GUI wont load all the way. Right now it's stuck with the message "Loading in, please wait..." with three hemispheres under it.. i.e. even the loading progress dots didn't form all the way. Also, no progress bar on the bottom left and button on the bottom right.
Same thing yet again. Just got booted out of a CCA after being unable to control my ship for three minutes.
Edit: I've just spent the last half hour trying to get from ESD to my research lab. Beamed to my ship in Earth orbit, tried to TW, got stuck in a map stall for several minutes, forced the client closed. Took several more minutes just to get a launcher to connect. Got back in eventually, but was still at Earth and with a full TW CD, so thought I'd fly there via my fleet's dil mine. Got a map stall going to Beta Quadrant. Get back in after another few minutes, click the map to fly to the Alpha Quadrant, but naturally the button to go back to Sol which had taken a while to show up shows up right when I click, sending me back to Sol, with another map stall.
Edit 2: And now that I'm finally back in again, just getting constant SNRs. Can't even chat. About to just call this day a lost cause.
Having a bit of the same thing as you darthwoo. randomly, this starts about 7:30pm US central time and continues to ~10pm. Once this starts I cannot play, even if I do get in. The strangest thing about it is once it starts, I can alt-f4 and reload (launcher is sloooooooow) to the same spot but get a little more progress. If I keep doing this (what a PITA!) I'll eventually get where I plan to go.
Also, while its messing up, I can watch youtube or netflix on my gaming machine without problems(STO TRIBBLE up in the background). I can even play other games. If this isn't Cryptic's servers its awfully close to them.
Today wasn't too bad until about an hour ago when I started getting SNRs for 30 seconds at a time every minute or so, which have continued until now. It was quite a pain as I was trying to degrind DOFFs to feed my starbase.

Strange. I was getting the same thing but it cleared up right around the time yours started.
