Seriously? downtime at prime time?

I have to say, I am mildly pleased that someone in the US finally gets shafted with a downtime which crosses through both of our primetimes (Australian here).

How's it feel now? Pretty bad, eh??
 
Oh ya, "prime time"... 'muricans.... You gotta excuse them, they ain't got brain.



Excellent use of the Queens English! Glad it's not just us "'muricans", still using "ain't". However, this 'merican , has enough brains to be playing ED :D! Loving the game, and always try to have a kind word for the passing Commanders in the spaceways.
 
15 minutes is not enough time to complain on the forums and still be around after to read the replies.
It's Prime Time. Everyone is watching you.. O_O
Now where did he go?

Indeed, dear americans welcome to how it feels to have every bloody online game running on US times regardless where the majority of their playerbase actually resides, or where they servers are located :/

Yep us an Australian who has suffered through many downtimes in the middle of our prime time, i'm playing the worlds smallest violin for your 15min prime time disruption.
 
Hihihi, I guess the OP is more upset about his faults with the hauler........ Daily 15 min downtime is nothing. And there is a primetime on this planet nearly everywhere everytime .
 
15 mins downtime!!
That's almost enough time to check the patch notes forum to see that is 15 minutes and negate the need for this thread...

Pick a time, any time.
Don't let me see it...now put it back in the deck
Using my mental powers I believe your time was 'prime time'
.
It would always be prime time somewhere. Makes a change to not be at the mercy of an American server
 
Does the OP realise the Hauler can be upgraded?

Get a class B FSD and then 2x8 or 2x16 cargo hold extensions - 16-32 cargo, easy. Trading gold + tobacco in 2 safe systems 14ly apart nets me 15-20k per run. Couldn't be easier at the start.
 
Flash news: Your planet is a ball. It's always prime time somewhere.
I sentence you to fly around an earth-like planet of your choice in your ship to grasp the concept. ;-)
 
Ok, so I am mad at Frontier. On my 2.5 bottle of Laguntias Little Sumpin, I accidentally sold my Eagle thinking it was my worthless Hauler. I mean what good does a "trade" ship do me if it can only hold 8 cargo?? Seriously Frontier? As if a noob trader like me would have the capital funds to buy goods that would make an "8" cargo hold profitable. The most you can make on a run is like 3,200 credits?!?! So yeah that is when I sold my Eagle in error! Luckily I had enough credits from pwning wanted person at a beacon in a my noob Sidewinder. However, as things go in ED, the only ships cold are friggen transports. So I have to make a another 5 min jump to the next station in hopes that they have another Eagle I can buy, even though I the station I just sold it to should at least have one right?

Anyways, as I get close to the nest station, I am getting all excited about going back to my "wanted" pwning ways at beacons, and a friggen message of doom pops up out of the middle of no where on my VR pilot's display. "Server maintenance will happen in 30 mins. Return to a base or get pwned by the Matrix." Again another thing out of a million that does go wrong in the universe of ED. So I unhappily dock at the next station, and luckily they have an Eagle I can repurchase to make up for my buzzed stupor. I got it combat equipped, and now I am eager to return to hunting down the less than desirable scumbag pilots that pass through my chosen beacon.

Can someone who actually read through my buzzed stupor tell me how long downtime actually is? I would really appreciate it...

Primetime for *you*. Usually 15 minutes.
