“17:15 UTC - CONNECTIVITY TO TQ IS RESTORED” It’s 17:45 and when I launch my client it loads the UI but gives me a “Connection Lost - The socket was closed” error message. I tried to open a support ticket but the support website won’t allow me to log in. ---

I am glad that I am such a lowly miner, mining all that ore, reprocessing, PI, and building all your mods, ships etc, so that you can buy them at extortionate prices (I sell less then Jita price) but some bright spark ruins all that by attacking me, oh joy, I am so glad i can.t log in to make cheap stuff lol ---

Why are people trying so hard to get back into a server that is under active DDoS attack? A server that will likely go down again at any moment without warning? ‘I got in’ - congratulations you idiot. 🙄 ---

If someone has done this to protect a Citadel, imagine having a contact like that. Obviously it is bad, shouldn’t be done and all I’m just imagining what the chain of orders would have been like, “Protect the Citadel!”, “Call in more ships!”, “Get Dave to shut it down”. ---
