Why 9 hours downtime ?

I'm pretty sure that 2.5 of those 3 million no longer care.

Well enough care that Frontier still think it a financially sensible to produce content for the game, instead of just producing new Jurassic park games that will bring in ten time the revenue that even a brand new elite game would bring in.

That all that matters at the end of the day.

It takes time to avoid bugs..../s

There must be some serious database maintenance going on to require 9 hours, surely a minor software patch doesn't require this length of change window.

I wonder what additional changes are being made to the back end support db's, or maybe the cosmetic / ARX changes really will need all that time to create new and update the existing tables.

It's time needed too install new bugs.

To introduce a large number of bugs takes time. E.g. deleting millions of engy upgrades. (Sorry, but this time I'm really disappointed)
