Players are reminded that it is important to populate your skill queue with enough skills to cover the extended downtime
*Gets ready for all the complaints from people who will lose SP due to forgetting to set long skill queues* 
I hope the patch screws up and we get some more gifted SP :) Last time I had full training, and 250k to distribute IIRC.

From this patch day to the ending of the EvE world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his pod with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his skill points;

If you need more available id numbers you should have allowed people to repackage modules in hanger arrays and You should implement a system to stack identical bpc's in a hanger. This is an upgrade that both players and your database would appreciate. But for some reason you have decided that making EVE players lives a little less tedious is not something your gonna bother to do.

Waiting for this thread to turn into a flame war between CCP fanbois and selffish haters. My prediction for posting topics:
Most popular Post: Ugh Why is this taking so long? We pay for this Game.
2nd Most popular topic: Complainers have no life - go outside and do something else.
3rd most popular topic: This upgrade is a copy paste with nothing new - come on CCP you suck.
4th most popular topic: Thank you CCP for doing backround fixes on broken features and not adding new stuff.
5th most popular topic: WTF this is all about the carebears.
6th most popular topic: WTF 0.0 get all the upgrades....
My question: Why does this thread exist? Nothing useful can come from it. A locked thread with hourly updates from CCP employees would be literally 15x as useful.

I have paid for 30 days of opportunity to play EVE, 23/7 that is including rolling updates (whcih I appreciate, btw). Of course you need install them and this takes time. An hour or two beyond the downtime - happens, I won't count beans. But if I loose a day of that opportunity, you have not sold me 30 but say, 29 days. Therefore please append the hours of downtime to my account expiry. I could quote some legal paragraphs, but hey - it is a game and won't hurt you to be fair.
Then, I got this on such a short notice, my corp expects me to fly a ship by this-or-that day and I planned to match that. EVE is about planning skill development, isn't it? And this planning has to be relyable for the matter. Now, due to the update, I have to suspend that skill and throw in another, thus being farther away from the point where I would finish the first one, disappointing me and my mates. On the other hand, you know downtimes' length prediction is unreliable.
I looked forward to fly a XY industrial by Wednesday, and now cannot! Therefore it seems fair to me to *always* compensate players for that skill-shuffling, i.e. by free SP. As pointed out, learning just anything else doesn't make it.

A suggestion for the SP and skill-shuffling, especially because it cannot be expected that everyone monitors the EVE pages for updates (it is a game after all):
After disconnecting every user, just before the update...
- stop everyone's skill training queue, mark the toons of active players where that changed anything
- ... do whatever you do to install updates, after that:
nobody has gained any SP so far during the extended downtime!
- let t be the time of the downtime plus say 10 minutes, for every marked toon:
- get the two highest attributes, A1 and A2
- grant SP according to tuple (t, A1, A2), that is the amount of SP the toon would have possibly acquired
- resume its skill training queue
- end downtime, allow players to connect
By that it doesn't matter how long the downtime is, nobody loses anything. No skill shuffling is needed, cause one could apply the granted SP to whatever he might have missed to schedule. The few additional SP due to having taken A1 and A2 (and not anything lower) we can call compensation for bothering with the queue again or for the loss of switching the learning toon.

two things this game needs is a "Sell All" button. i have 445 items to sell for my corp which equates to four clicks per item to log the sale into the corp wallet.
the ability to add a secure password to your ships.... if you can put a password on a secure can, how come you can't do it on ships?
come on ccp get your act together.

Err, if you look at your first line there you will see a flaw, that flaw being even a repackged module would have the same ID number. Even if it is stacked with identical items. Each item is given a number.

I personally have faith in CCP. They make mistakes in their patches, but what developer doesn't? The constant updates annoy me but it gets fixed eventually.
I have plenty of faith in CCP, but what bothered many of us is CCP's attitude towards the failed deployment of Tyrannis 1.1. They did everything but apologize for the mistakes that were made, that inconvenienced the majority of their customers.

I've noticed they are at least trying to improve things, everyone should try and understand that they understand your agony as well as frustration. Its an epic game to say the least. I would suggest if anyone has great programming skills apply to ccp and help them. Knocking them only makes things worse for all the players to hear. In retrospect they have indeed improved things while other things have suffered, but again its dam better than playing a game that's housed in someones house . This is a big company with big idea's give them a little credit. Just my 2 cents.

Migrating several gigabytes of information requires time. This involves backups, data translation, then warming up the servers again (which takes a half hour anyways).
Honestly, if you have any ideas for how to actually speed up such a migration, download Python, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Microsoft SQL Server, and get cracking. If you can make it go faster, you could make a lot of money working on big-iron databases, making life better for a whole lot of people. Have fun!
And take it from me. Loosing a few hours of skill training isn't a big deal. You'll get over it. EVE is about having fun and making friends (and enemies). Skills are just a way of helping people specialize in specific things and learn how to use equipment while they train for more equipment. As any PvP junkie will tell you, a 10mil SP pilot can kick the butt of a 100mil SP pilot if the 10mil SP pilot knows what he's doing more than the 100mil pilot.

As much as we all complain the bottom line is you are all (we)that post here anyway are eve junkies . So Take it like a man/woman stand up to the plate and cheer it on . We move forward as others have said, consistently I might ad and I would think everyone enjoys the game. That's why there are complaints. If no ones talking somethings wrong because the worlds not perfect. Think of it as theta thinking the real world.

I have reported a bug concerning building HICs in a Tier3 upgraded factory OP. I haven't had any replies on it yet.
Will this be fixed in this patch?

Patch notes are full of errors that should have been picked up with the briefest of proof reads...
Quote:
# Pinned windows are again persistent after re-logging or closing the windows.
# Snapped windows stay put after closing another snapped window.
# Pinned windows are again persistent after re-logging or closing the windows.
I hope CCP take more care with their code than they do with thier patch notes.

UTC is GMT ... historically there are only ONE standard time on earth GMT which was originally founded by british scientists and situated on the meridian (which is going thru the british town Greenech as we all know).
UTC is just a try from several US-American Companies to claym the founding of a standard timezone for themselve and also there was a time where they tried to charge there customers if they are synch there times thru UTC
