I see that people have had fun in this thread.

I was not amused. The issue encountered today had nothing to do with today’s experiment. Instead we got hit for the 8th time in 11 months with a mysterious issue that Microsoft hasn’t been able to resolve so far. Hopefully the logs this time show them something new – at least the symptom and error was slightly different than before after the latest round of change recommended.

What we were able to do of the experiment did provide information.

Yes; we recently changed how markets are primed; have you noticed?

We prime 1000 solarsystems right after startup. Players who are eagerly waiting to log in, will be logging in as that priming is happening. Then the rest of the systems are primed when the first pilot jumps into them.

The contract system takes a while to prime after startup.

Official downtime each day is 15 minutes. We only advertise extensions if we expect to exceed that timeframe. On the topic of changes: https://twitter.com/CCP_Explorer/status/1503118118322909197.

Our network partners are not going to investigate ice belt spawns. Our DBAs are not going to investigate ice belt spawns. Their work is also not going to be put on hold because some other team is investigating ice belt spawns. One mining fix is being deployed tomorrow and I know that team has in general been actively investigating spawn reports.

The deployment request was sent by the team at 15:31 this afternoon (today) – how should I have posted that yesterday?
