Is colonization getting un-paused after extended Downtime on 3/13/25, YES or NO?

So I saw the notice that there will be an extended tick downtime at a minimum of 3hrs on Thurs 3/13 which is fine. But (maybe I missed it) will the system colonization be restarted at the end of that? I didn't see anything that explicitly said that it would be restarted. I only ask as I'm in PST which is UTC -8. So assuming server downtime starts at 0800 UTC that's midnight where I am. I have a system I'd like to colonize and I'm happy to wait till 4am to do it, but I'd really like to know if that wait will be worth it?? I also have to work in the morning lol.
 
Don't make plans around announced downtimes, they can and do run over quite often. Which then results in threads that say "I put off my grandmothers funeral to play this game, now she is staring disappointingly at me each time I open the fridge. Why did FDev make my grandmother disappointed in me?".

I haven't seen anything about restarting colonisation as yet.

Edit: fixed typo

bwahahaaahhaaa! thank u all for the replies. Def got a kick outa them. With the flurry of activity over colonization that got us into this debacle my primary concern was being 'johnny-on-the-spot' when it goes live so I can plant my flag in the sys I referred to as I'm sure everyone who doesn't already have one has been scouring the bubble looking for somewhere to build for the last week. I should just call in sick or set my alarm for 3am PST.. yikes.

Who knows, well Fdev do but they haven't communicated anything on that since the Grand Pause began. it's a bit of wait and see and stand by with the pitch forks 😉
 
I've been doing that thinking thing as had time, why put the the thread about the Grand Pause in News and Bulletins, when there hasn't been any since it was put in place and why not just lock it if they're not going to answer. Was it all just to keep us distracted. Am I watching too much Fox News 🤔 totally possible lol

Okay just thought about it and answered my own questions, think I need sleep 🤪
 
just tell me the name of the system you plan on using the beacon on an ill do my best to save it for you:ROFLMAO:
Sol,,yeaaaah that's right. It's Sol. honestly it was hilarz. I found it last week, it's really nothing special, but I'm already doing one so i bookmarked it ...or so I thought. Turns out I hadn't bm'd it. I was so sad, but then... tracked it down in EDDiscovery. So neat.
