Why there is Downtime
In an effort to provide the best playing experience while the server is online, CCP shuts down the servers for one hour every day from 11:00 to 12:00 GMT to perform maintenance tasks. Skill training continues during downtime, as well as agent missions.
Wrecks and records of what ships have been destroyed within a mission do not carry over through downtime; any mission accepted before downtime will have to be redone from the beginning.
Extended Downtime is used to apply Hot Fixes to the server to repair software, solve hardware issues, and most often to deploy patches and expansions for the game.
