samroski Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 There was such hype about how the downtime will be extended, and how the system will collapse for 2 weeks, that in spite of being optimistic I set a week long skill to train: Mass Production V. Have been recently buying up all the minerals in Lonetrek and this seemed to be the logical step to take. Am really glad to learn that all the old exploration equipment will be converted to spanking brand new, and the skills will continue to be valid, even though differently. According to my calculation it may take about 8 hours to download the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 How big is the update going to be? I'm not sure if I'm going to like the new way of using probes...I couldn't be bothered/didn't have time to get on to singularity to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samroski Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 1390 MB initial download and then a 12 MB patch. I tried to read up on how to use the new scanner and probes, and it looked interesting with the 3-D view of the probe range- but tbh I could not get myself to read all the details.

Dark0ne Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Oh jeez why didn't I start the patching process earlier? Going along at an agonisingly slow 78kb/sec Here's to hoping the server startup gets delayed a few hours :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samroski Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Mine is going at 42-51 kb/s and it says 8 to 8.5 hours left (just started). Kicking myself for not starting earlier as well. Just read that newer characters will train at double the speed till they reach 1.6 mil SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I found a direct link from CCP, cracked it in my download manager and it went at 450kb/sec. Went to my lecture, came back 1h 40m later and it was finished. Yay! :D Installing now. EDIT: Game installed just as the server came up :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samroski Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 %$#%$# My only consolation is that I think tranquility is still not accepting connections (28 online). I'm 24% done and still 5.5 hours left- thinking seriously about taking a nap now and then playing all night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The server is up because I am playing :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samroski Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I can't take it- so I am off for a nap and will probably log in after 6 hours or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
