Frustration - Server AGAIN!

[Lensman]

I was just about to hit a major milestone that I'd been working for weeks to achieve, got the mission done, landed, hit ESC and NOTHING ... just the spinning wheel of DOOM.

Then, after a while I got the mission result but as a NEW PILOT because the server was down again. there's nothing wrong with my web connection tonight.

This happens too often and is a major problem with the 'game'. It's very frustrating because I don't get that experience back again when the server eventually stabilises. At least cache my local session!

Many EU squadrons reporting the same problem tonight, usually it doesn't take so long to fix. We still wait!

Someone already started to tarred and sprung the servers???

Ok, they seem to be up again after about an hour. Thanks to whoever sorted it out if you're reading this (unlikely).

Yup fixed! It never takes too long to be fixed

This is really frustrating. I love this application, it's superb, but despite there being nothing wrong with my network connection yet again I finished a major mission (BOS Air Screen) after getting several kills and a successful mission completion and got told I was a new pilot at level 1 because the server had dropped out. This is worse than being shot down! Devs, why have you coded this so that a network connection is required to maintain SINGLE player progress?! It should not be necessary for me to connect to YOUR server to complete a mission and the 'cloud' update should happen later when I CAN connect! This is crazy and tremendously irritating to lose my effort for the umpteenth time!  Aaarggghhhhhh!!!!
