Servers are still down as Scheduled Maintenance. Open your launcher to see the status. Also Arf said in Supercruise News that this update could take approx 1.5 hours but he couldn't nail down an exact time.
Be patient.

No, the server is under maintenance still
Just visit the bubble? Where is the problem? Doubt this gets any priority at this point.
Its big patch day so whenever thats done they hit the update button for steam and everyone can download it. Just gotta wait it out.
Saw you added the mission specific items a moment ago, tySorry let me clarify
So say you and I are on a mission together. We're running around and we need a mission specific item for me to hand in the mission for us to complete it (for our shared mission). If YOU pick up that item (instead of me) that we need to complete the mission - when we board back on ship, the item will be shared to me so I can then hand in the mission and complete it for us. We all get the reward and you keep your loot and stuff, it's JUST the sharing of the mission specific key item needed to complete the mission that's "shared".
Gosh I do hope that makes sense
So it's copied to the other players, not moved? That makes a lot more sense.Sorry let me clarify

It means exactly that, yes
I jsut replied to @davinator791 with what I hope wasn't a garbled explanation, haha.Wouldn't it make more sense to release the patch at the same time the server goes down so that we can download and install the patch while it's down, and be ready to log on when it comes back up? That's how I would do it. Sometimes the update itself can take quite a while to download and install if it's tens of gigabytes.
OK, thanks. It would be nice if that information was in the launcher or somewhere else visible. Got it, will wait another 30 minutes.
That makes total sense, the mission item isnt shared and goes to mission owner if someone else picked it up. Random loot goes to the looter as normal?Sorry let me clarify

Would make the original notes a bit confusing/misleading as its currently written maybe?
Clarification is appreciated though.
Would require having a separate patch only server on top of all the others
Have dutifully read through the whole list. Impressive, indeed! Thank you very much! Look forward to trying this out in detail.
I understand now, thank you for your explanation.Sorry let me clarify

Gosh, I would like to share a mission or two with you!Sorry let me clarify

To be serious, what happens if your ship storage is already full at 100% at the moment I board my ship? Game crash?

No problem, I'm used to Frontier having to update what's been released.
Surely patches are distributed via a CDN anyway - it would be silly to do otherwise. They wouldn't actually be coming from a centralised server; any such server would exist only for authentication and permission purposes. If I had designed the system, that server would be separate from the others. These days having 'separate' virtual servers costs virtually nothing.
Anyway, no point in complaining if they have done it otherwise but I still think that would be the logical approach.
