The top 10 things to do/know before and after a major patch
10. Estimated start up time is vastly diffrent from actual play time. Plan for system instability for 72 hours minimum.
9. Dont fly what you cant afford to lose to lag, bugs and NPC's for 72 hours after patch release.
8. Spend the next 24-48 hours intimately reading the forum and patch notes to be as best prepared as you can for when the game comes back up.
7. If possible, return to Empire space and enter a station for the duration of the patch deployment and subsiquent 72 hours of instabilitiy. Treat said stations like nuclear fall out shelters, no matter what hits you know you will likely be safe.
6. Do not deploy any objects or drones you can not afford to lose during this time. This includes Jetcans full of ore, T2 drones, Secure containers, POS structures and so forth
5. Never be in space during a major patch update if you can avoid it.
4. If you can not avoid being in space during the patch update, know what modules are being affected by the patch and change your modules accordingly. You dont want to be stuck in space with a now useless module as your primary weapon now do you?
3. Dont rush to download the patch the moment it is out like everyone and their uncle. Wait atleast 2-3 hours after patch deployment before making your attempt otherwise you may end up sitting in a long line for an unstable build.
2. Dont be afraid to ask questions in the days after patch deployment for tips on the new settings in the correct forums.
1. ALWAYS SET A LONG TRAIN SKILL OF FOUR OR MORE DAYS PRIOR TO PATCH TIME! CCP IS -NOT- RESPONSABLE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM FOR LOST TRAINING TIME!

Bumped for truth.

P.S. ECMs got boost, boohoo! Now, didn't I hear some forum-*****s go on about "adapt or die" when it was nerfed? |

I think you might need to bump that up to 4-8 hours, possibly 6-12 hours. It took CCP that long to catch this one.
I waited more than 3 hours before downloading this patch, and still missed seeing this announcement before I went to bed.
I will find out when I get home if my computers are still working.
