I missed ONE day and just completed my 13th day, and the downtime will be about 90 minutes before I could have done it again. Your event says until 10 am but technically you block off 4 hours of that time for updates so it really isn't the full hours you state:
March 3, 9 a.m. - March 24, 10 a.m.
As much sympathies as one could have, they never made this. Only time extensions are granted is if something unforseen happens and the maintenance is already scheduled into the event time. Besides, there's always someone, even after the extension, being that one run/hour/minute short. Cryptic can't really make an exception for everyone

My hope is they run it again so I can finish my 2 characters who are also up to 13/14. I am always about a week behind on the Mirror Invasion one because something crazy is always going on in my life when it comes up.
Technically the event time IS interrupted by the maintenance.
But that doesn't come as a surprise. You know that thursdays, 6 AM in whatever time zone (pacific?), there is maintenance. Every thursday, all the time. When they extended other events it was due to server outtage or something similiar unforseen.

However, like others I have no sympathy for you. The event runs for 21 days. There is no excuse to extend the event further. Maintenance is accounted for in the original run, and in only the rarest occasions have Cryptic extended the event, which is usually as a result of a major outage, for which there hasn't been one.

Unfortunately, Tribble reeks of some other event possibly coming before the Summer one. Let the event fatigue continue.
I quote the person before you that they should say it ends at 6 am, not 10 am Pacific.
I only found out about this event half way through it. I was on target but missed just one day as I already said. Those 4 hours that are not given to us could have completed it.
This is simply not true. Patches always start 3pm UK time. Today it was 1pm. I have 2 toons that are 13/14 on the breach. One of them was escaping the ship when the servers came down.
To say I am angry doesnt come close. What is the bloody point in having the event end times published in the game only for the game to come down before hand. This server downtime was NOT well advertise (otherwise I would have gotten onto it sooner and finished my toons). I thought I had 2 hrs left - first I heard was a 30min warning and at that point I had 3 toons left.

That made me a sad panda now.
Hopefully it won't be a huge grind this time.

When i want to read a comic book i will go to the newspaper store half a mile of my door and i buy a comic book! ( No offense to the storywriter of the comics btw ) Players want NEW missions, in space or ground. Instead of investing in those story comics i feel like they (Cryptic or PWE) should spend A LOT more time in solving BUGS. At least that is how i feel. Many peoples are feeling left in the cold by the game devellopers on NOT making new missions at the regulary base like before. I spended a lot of time in the game becausse i love the game, but the game will loose me and others when it continues to make STO veterans feel left in the cold. No new skill revamp or 1 new mission on release is going to change that for a while. Come on guys, put your backs into it again and give players something to look out for.
It is a server restart, no patch to download.
Seeing as April 5 is coming up, I'd say First Contact/Day of Honor/ Romulan Freedom day is next. Then there is the featured episode coming up the next week.
@Jumper maintenance usually lasts 3.5 to 4 hours except on the release of new content; those are subject to Murphy's Law.
Of which there have been none during this event. Last one claimed by the usual party was over a month ago.
It was only an hour early for them. Blame our differing adjustment times for Daylight Saving/Summer Time for the other one. The US, where Cryptic is based, switched over already, while the UK will not until this Sunday. There was a disconnect between the launcher and this post for start time and length of downtime, but that could be down to the one listed here being STO's scheduled downtime, while the one stated on the launcher being something else from PWE overlapping that.
thanks, i forgot about Cryptic time.
Kinda funny how the new highlight missions ''Purity'' seems to dig into the same thematics, i'm eager to continue with part three. Not in the least because i seemingly no longer have two legs,
