Had just logged in at 11:17… toon 1 has nothing in local, toon 2 has nothing in local, toon 3 has just their own name in local, lol! and same in all channels. Looks like ending the nullsec local blackout was harder than expected. Also, I happened to have hit downtime in space (in HS) at 11:00… got the message about downtime, the timer started at 1 minute… was like… maybe this time I can get docked up before it hits? all 3 ships landed on station @ ~11:18:30 but hadn’t quite docked up (on my clients’ screens, at least!) just as extra bonus emergency downtime hit… hahah… fun times. ---
