Will there be an update to the client? Or is it all server side?

This is a server side thing. There are no Update Notes.

Hey folks, The server hamsters need another 10 minutes to get back into shape. We'll let you know when they are ready.

Greetings Commanders, Elite Dangerous servers are now available. Please allow a few minutes for all servers to come back fully online.

Greetings Commanders, We are aware that there have been reports of connection and server issues following the maintenance. These have now been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

Are you guys sure that your hamsters are still alive and well? Seems that all your precious server hamsters mutated into Lemmings after their coffee and energy drinks break and collectively jumped off the galactic plane into oblivion.

Look, all I am saying is that sometimes cybernetics and good old fashioned necromancy can be more cost effective.

We're injecting more animation serum into the veins of the deceased server hamsters. We're hoping to get their resurrected corpses back up and shambling shortly.

The server hamsters are now being force fed energy drinks and coffee to wake them up more.

Hi all, A heads up there will be some brief server downtime at 1PM UTC to resolve an issue. Downtime should be no longer than 30 minutes. You can now keep track of any server maintenance updates here.

1PM - so moved forward from 13PM ;)

Look, it's not my fault this reality is stuck to such boring time values.

Hi folks, We are aware of disconnect reports. Our team are investigating and should have a solution soon.

Hey folks. We've jabbed more electrodes into the server hamsters, reconfigured the lightning rods and shouted "It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!" so you should now be able to start reconnecting. Some server locations may take a couple more minutes longer than others, so please give it a minute or so if you still are having issues.
