on each login, even after servers are up, the individual placement of ‘bars’ inside chat channels (which determines the size of chat vs pilots in the channel is reset. Also the size of the actual typing window isn’t saved between logins. This is very annoying ☹ ---

Getting into settings of the chat is also bugged. I was able to do so once (to change font size and remove pictures), but minutes afterwards the gear icon turns white and does not open the menu. Now all chat window gear icon does this. ---

Hehe These chat problems and on / off again downtime actually gave me an idea, a pretty good one at that for another event. It would go like this: Some rats, or insert “NPC entities here”, are trying to take over. The 1st thing they do is try to disrupt communications, so a site with a base spawns in systems. There would be 3 different sizes of bases that would spawn at different criteria. Small base - up to cruiser size rats with BC boss could be completed by a duo of Alphas or new omega players or a single (solo) vet player. The base itself would have some sentries or turrets for defense, but still be doable by the above mentioned player set up. They would spawn often and be common. Their rewards would be comparable to the current solo doable events. Medium size - up to BS size ships with a bit bigger base, these would require 3+ alphas or new players, they would spawn maybe 15% ish of the time or when “X” of the small size bases have been kileld in system, have a bit higher rewards, perhaps some miniscule chance for lower end faction loot in addition to regular rewards. Large size - about the size of FOBs, these would require 5 more experienced players or 10+ newer players to take out. They would spawn rarely and only after X of the small and X of the medium bases have been taken out. The base would be heavily defended with cruise missle and heavy missle and some sort of ECM turrets that would respawn on 30 secs ± some RNG timer. What these bases would do is try to disrupt communications, mainly, as long as one is in the system, it would disrupt and eventually completely shut down local chat !!! Yup. That would be so awesome ! ---

> [@Cleaning\_Lady](#): > > Cleaning is always completed in a timely manner! Cleaning Lady, you’re my favorite spammer. Please spam in Ashab local more, I’m often parked there AFK, and when I get back to the computer and see your advert, it makes me smile. 😉 > [@Thorne\_Ishirai](#): > > lol compensation for one day of downtime come on … There was a similar update day to today once, 1-2 years ago. Servers came up, went down, up, down, up down… in the end, there was 6-10 hours of downtime that day, and CCP gave out some free SP to every single subbed acct, so… not sure why you laugh, that’s generally how they recompense us for the lost time. > [@Algarion\_Getz](#): > > God damn it CCP, why do you have these long downtimes during my main playtime? I bet servers go up when i have to go to sleep and then every1 who is online can earn billions in the first first hour of the event. Just look at it as CCP’s accidental way of giving late-EUTZ and early-USTZ peops a chance to get the best (sell) prices on the new mods/accels/skins from the event for once. Usually it’s late-AUTZ and early-EUTZ that get the best crack at it. > [@cronel](#): > > This is the worst update in the history of update Nah. That one I was just referring to when speaking to Thorne up there… that one was even worse, believe it or not. And I’ve only been playing since 2013, I’m sure the 2003ers in here can tell of even worse update days. 😉 ---
