Suddenly disconnected

Same here (UK). Got kicked back to the main menu.

 

[Rock Hunter]

In and out where I am in the UK - to be expected less than an hour after coming back online.

 

[Gabriel H]

At this point I feel the menu screen station background is too on the nose.

 

[pFVD]

Same on the disconnects, tho i just tried to hand in rare good and got no merits from it?

They should probably remove that from the list of activities on the map then

 

[Disemboweled Ego]

Thought about the 4x across the board changes - while what activities are "good" is still relative to other activities, many more activities now feel worthwhile and like they give tangible progress towards PP ranks.

I don't want to sound totally negative (again) ... but I expected better from a 30-year-old games dev company with a 10-year-old game that's the 4th game in a 40-year-old IP franchise.

Am I being unreasonable?

I only did a couple of jumps, just to see if the time had reduced - which they had.
dogs demanding feeding / walkies will push playtime to later!

 

[Wily Rites]

Hamsters are in a meeting, they want more merits for wheels turned! It's getting pretty squeaky in there but, negotiations are underway.

Same here (UK). Got kicked back to the main menu.

Got connection again but I'm having to wait while my carrier jumps despite being in a different system from either end.

 

[Niamhy]

Slightly confused by the update notes - are we saying the balancing (i.e. ensuring the PP activities are well balanced) is still yet to come or has it been implemented already?

the note said they are going to be looking into balancing, but IN THE MEANTIME here is update 9.1

I hear there are demands for engineering access to increase cheek pouch capacity

You know who your talking about ,right ??? I mean, if the whole console debacle wasn't clear example of this,I don't know what would be ?

Only if every other established games developer releases perfect products and updates every time...

 

[CMDR B3rT]

I got back in but still no mission boards loading :/

well they do, don't they? I guess this is an issue of the classic "The other Shaltanac's joopleberry shrub is always a more mauvy shade of pinky-russet."

Egosoft can manage it ... to name one company.
Hello Games can do it for No Man's Sky
Mojang can do it for Minecraft

And that's just the main games I play. I am sure there's lots of other examples of companies that can update their games without the problems Frontier seem to have.
