I can't find the schedule anywhere ?

Thursday morning maintenance has been happening since I started playing years ago.
Of course, if you don't normally play during those hours, you may never have noticed.

If you are playing prior to the shutdown a message pops up with a warning when the servers will go off.

It is the weekly 'tick' where all of the PP etc. housekeeping is done. Possibly worth making a note of it for the future, just in case ;)

Now resorting to reinstalling it.
This is a pain in the butt, especially considering it was working fine last night and nothing has changed system wise but now zip, zilch, nothing.

What have you done to the collection limpets?

They are so slow when mining.

I used to be able to laser a rock, prospect, move and laser next rock without pausing and limpets would keep up.

Now I am having to pause to wait for limpets to finish collecting before moving.

Ship being used is a T9 Ice maiden 15 collectors, 3 2D lasers, weapons focused PD, 4 pips to weapons strips rock with single burst.

Hmmm, interesting, has anyone else noticed anything different with limpets? Do they move slower now?

If people collectively do, I'd love an issue tracker report sending my way to help keep track (sorry to be a pain in asking. Just don't want to lose my page on these things).

Thanks Sally, I've already done that and then thought I'd try reinstalling.
If that doesn't fix it I shall resubmit another ticket.
Sorry if this causes a mess up with Customer Support.

Is Thursday morning maintenance still happening? I'm unable to connect, and it takes forever to even get to the main menu.

I've noticed that too. Not not had enough time to properly test it, but it takes ages to collect debris from a signal source, with my ship sitting right in the middle of it.
Not tried mining, yet

Is anyone else struggling to connect please? I'm getting a bit suspicious of something maybe not being quite right so would be good to see how many of you are struggling o7

I do not know if they are moving slower or pausing while calculating safest route back to ship or flying a safer/longer route back to ship but it is slowing down speed of mining.

I've gotten Magenta Krait, and Scarlet Krait error codes when trying to enter into solo play. Has been happening for over an hour, and every time I launch the game it takes around 6 minutes to even get to the main menu. Then it says there's no server connection for about 3-4 minutes, then it says the server is fine. But I can't actually connect.

There's something I can't be sure of related to some new content whenever it is bugged or not (mild spoilers so don't click if you don't want to be spoiled, obviously)

Systems where a Thargoid Mega Barnacles site is located cannot be recaptured, we did some tests involving fighting & sampling, the journal log was showing 0.000 war progress before we did anything (which is normal) but was still showing 0.000 war progress hours after the samples were delivered and kills achieved.

The question is : are systems where a site located supposed to be locked?

Can one of you open a tracker ticket and give Sally the ticket # please? It could be that the way they “fixed” the collision issue is by slowing down the flight of the limpets. That would obviously really suck for open space usage though.

Dare to dream that we could toggle between limpet settings though. Fast but reckless when you’re in a hurry, like search and rescue, or slow but safer for when there’s many things around to potentially collide with.
