Count yourself lucky, we had the "guinea pig" version a week ago on French servers and all sorts of weird stuff went on, only got patched yesterday at the same time it landed here, meanwhile the Germans will just get the "clean" version in about an hour from now.

We can't account for every timezone; the best we can do is just make it easier for the majority. I know this might not be the answer you're looking for, but that's why we conduct it at these times.

The stats might say that there's the fewest playerson at this time, but that doesn't mean it's also the least impact.
The general feeling amongst the longer serving players is that the old late morning/lunchtime maintenance time caused the least inconvenience.
But once again, you seem to have glossed over the fact that for those of us in a later timezone, notice was too minimal for us to take precautions.
There's a similar problem with the Guild Quests nowadays, since they got set to start at an abritray time us night owls are having to cancel many because completing the quest will take more time than there is before the next day's quest replaces it. Couple that with the large number of "out of level" quests and there's not many left that we can actually complete.

Update:
Just discovered that the german update started an hour earlier than expected, bang goes another week's login bonus and a day's worth of explorer searches.

No matter when the update is applied, there will always be some players who are affected more than others, even if you shifted said window into the late morning/lunchtime. Even for players who reside in the UK, there are those who work night shifts or have other reasons for having their active playing time in the morning. There isn't a solution here where everybody wins; just where the majority does.

As for notice, it is safe to assume that whenever an update is coming, it will occur on a Tuesday between 7am-11am BST (an hour earlier when Daylight Savings is over). Though bear in mind that while this is the normal method for when we conduct our updates, changes in times/dates can occur, but we'll do our best to communicate those if and when that happens.

Were you going to ever add 1?

You always needed to adjust the slider anyway. Now however when you add resources gained from the excelsior you don't need too. I like it.

Prolly a way to clear star. Personally I don't like to hoard loads of stuff in star and there is prolly loads of lag from the server having to count all that resource when opening star anyway. So I look forward to many mistakes and a faster running game.
