Maintenance twice this week?

I'm very sorry, but I cannot appreciate 2! different maintenance in a week.
For me, that's about 6 hours lost in STO.
Stop doing this?

Personally as long as long as they are fixing and upgrading things for the better, then they could bring the server down for a whole week. I'll just find something else to occupy time with.
Tuseday's maint was (from what I read) hardware related, and more urgent.
I'll leave your appreciation chat right where you left it. Personal entitlements do not interest me.
Hell, you folks basically ASK for it.

I'm just saying what I see.
Note, I am autistic, maybe I put it too blunt?

Just out of curiosity, how would you react if next week we got maintenance three times?
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
This would save EVERYONE a lot of time, effort, and thus give cryptic the time to focus on say, oh, I don't know, maybe finally spend some attention to the Rom and KDF for a frikken change?

For various reasons, but mainly man-power would be the deciding factor. You must understand that when doing maintenance, they need to give themselves time to address an issues that crop up. The same team that does the site maintenance may also be responsible for the game maintenance. If you add both downtimes, you're looking in excess of 6-8 hours just to do what they planned. If they have an issue that will add an hour or so, extending the maintenance further. It could even escalated into a full scale disaster taking them past 12 hours plus resulting in many many rage posts. They cannot possible fit all that work into the same time frame. That's not how it works.
A simpler solution would be for you to stop daring him to do it.
If you wish to start paying $100+ a month for a subscription, I'm sure they would be open to providing a higher level of SLA and HA. Until then, take a break and enjoy some Netflix during the downtime and let them do their jobs....which I doubt they enjoy having to do before dawn as well.
HOWEVER, using maintenances and patches as examples for this is not only counter-productive but also silly since these exist to improve quality and are fundamental to MMO. Plus, it was only 2 in a week.
