Am I the only one seeing progressively worse loading times when trying to beam onboard ESD lately? Right now I'm up to 9 minutes and counting waiting for the last 6% to finish loading.

Mine was pretty horrible too. I gave up after 7 minutes.

Known issue, although I don't think the Devs have acknowleged it. What I do and it seems to work is beam to starfleet academy, and then up to ESD.

I think I did that.. although it was so long ago I'm not sure anymore. This is the second time I tried loading ESD. I gave up the first time. My "Server is not responding" timer is at 630 seconds and counting this time. I wonder if it will give up.

EDIT: now past 900 seconds (15 min). Looks like I'm going to have to exit again.
