In theory, tonights the night. And since they work usa times that'll be silly o'clock in the morning for us.

Remember to take a backup of your settings and bindings. Although they are adding new bindings so I don't think we're 100% confident the old ones will paste in happily. You can save a profile ingame however the files are at:

Install_dir\StarCitizen\LIVE\USER\Client\

Check and see if there's a unlisted 3.18 patch video from cig. That's another clear indication

Interesting, I wasn't aware there was going to be ship configurations also changed on the fly, to some extent and not by the pilot.

Looking forward to playing tomorrow. Have had a few weeks off which while great, the sticks are gathering dust

Yes, it will, but it could be late, like AM our time.

Epic right?

This is pretty much gold standard tier 3 level of gameplay they are adding!

Its not just a simple power relay!

Its the full hog!

Delayed, Friday..... (Tomorrow)

Final QA checks are underway, as we prepare for imminent launch. We are now looking at a very early morning US time for launch. Being so close, we do not want to rush it. We expect some turbulence with this release and need all hands on deck to monitor and manage the service once we go live. One more sleep. Additionally, tonight we'll be disabling character reset on the Live servers in order to make the migration to Alpha 3.18's database and the new character repair tool, which will go live with the new patch.

Full details here. So at earliest will be around 6pm UK time. But I would sat assume Saturday for UK and expect a complete dumpster fire honestly all weekend/next week.

CaptainZyloh - CIG Community Manager
There's a lot of you at the front gate ready to dive into 3.18. So many of you in fact, that our website and Spectrum services are going in and out.
Unexpected issues can arise during any publish, especially one introducing such fundamental changes to our backend infrastructure. Transitioning from the PTU to the Live environment is not a simple flip of the switch, and requires great care. As we've been preparing the environment for a Live publish, the team has been tackling these unforeseen issues in real-time as they pop up. We apologize for any frustration the wait has caused - the team is just as eager (and excited) to dive in with you all. We're all hands on deck to get this one out the door and in your hands as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience! o7

I never expected it to be anything but silly o'clock in the morning of one of the days of the weekend. Had hoped it would be here by now though.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. I feel a bit sorry for the community team though.
