Star Trek Online: One of these things is not like the other

I was hoping to hit Tier 3, grab the rank of Commander and zoom around in a new science vessel tonight, sadly it looks like the work experience kid knocked the network cable out when he was shouted at.

1. Warning on the verification pop-up.
Well, at least the game is up - that's the main thing!

2. Warning in-game

3. Let's try again...
oh, I guess not

Really I should be painting figures or leveling one of my WoW characters but I think I'll lay in front of the TV and flick through an old copy of the Flames of War rulebook I recently won on eBay. Woot ~ way to party on a Friday night :(
