There will be a brief period of downtime today, 10-15 minutes today for a server upgrade.
We're going to upgrade to a two times more powerful server and will get the latest software upgrades.
You will notice increased speed and reliability on the new server and faster loading response time.

Probably just server upgrade this time, not game updates. I hope game updates will come soon though.  |

Hi,
your server upgrade is great. It is much faster with manufactiring and SITREP in particular with so many ships and manufacturing bays that I have. I could no do without it now.
Thx

i havent spotted any difference. If anything, starting a combat timer vs com or nest takes even longer lately. Probably because i am so far away from server anyway, it makes very little difference here

Doesn't matter much where you are in the world. LOL Must be your connection.
As for the starting of combat timers, I figured out that they only happen to take long if you are starting a mission that you received some time ago. Missions that you receive and start at the same day (or recently) will load much faster.

Not always true. Ones I get the same day seem to take longer for me to load now. The larger the COM the longer it seems to take. |

Well, i didn't experience that. It only happens to me (1) if it's an old mission and (2) if I do more than 1 mission at the same place simultaneously.

All the COM missions I have done give a timer that is based on the ennemy + my power. I must say that all my COM are started right away except for nest.

Numbskull!) <Addendum: What is Raphael's profession?: I know its nothing to do with IT or telecommunications LOL I personally vote for clown; he makes me laugh every time he comments> |

At my age i dont suffer fools easily. And he is easily a fool. Good job Raphael has a defender to back him up. Maybe i am ready for a brain flip and may include you in it, might EoS? You sit on shaky ground constantly defending Raphaels comments. Fair Warning

When I said that it was your connection (or maybe your old pc), I was referring to your statement of not noticing any difference at all since the server upgrade. As far as I know, ALL of us felt the difference EXCEPT you Dadds. Who's the fool now?  |

Who's the fool now? laugh You are clearly way out in the lead there Raphael since you dont know what computer I use, nor what profession I do for a real job (you know, one of those things most people have to get up out of bed, attend and actually have to perform well at), and obviously (by your statement) have no clue on how communication backbones work globally. Commenting on something you have no clue about is about as foolish as it gets. I have been involved in communications since the days of DARPA which you will not have a clue about until you GOOGLE it. Even then likely it wont make much sense to you and likely will dismiss it in your short term memory an instant after you read the highlighted parts. It's simplicity itself to call someone a fool, a much more complex task demonstrating it, and just makes you look the more foolish |
