I've been taking advantage of the outage to spend some quality time in creative mode working on ships and modules. When multiplayer comes back on line I'll have some shiny new toys and upgrades!
I'm hoping it wasn't a hack. Login/account system is the kind of thing that would be a likely target.
I'm also hoping that fixing the issue doesn't involve resetting the game-side accounts, but part of the delay could well be something like looking for ways to fix a corrupted process without wiping it clean. If it happens it happens, I suppose - if our identity system is broken that seems like a likely potential complication. Would pretty much necessitate a reset of all multiplayer worlds, wouldn't it?
