Finally logged in again, now waiting on "Authentication Transaction" on commodities interface, forever.
And... server disconnected, and... can't login again.
EDIT: Oooooh, this is a good one: "Unable to load Commander data from the server. Try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please contact technical support via the game launcher"
SO much better than offline. Yeah, not really.

I'm a patient tester, but this is getting ridiculous.
- Server error - exit game
- Cannot load commander data - exit game
- From or too FSD takes 30sec
I love always on. Thanks a lot.
If you want us to be always on, increase your server capacity FD.

The launch has the markings of Sim City written all over it.
Nobody can log in, nobody can play... tiny amount of people can and say there's nothing wrong...
You know I don't even want offline back, I'd rather FD could actually provide the online infrastructure this game needs. That'd be good enough to me. That and missing features.
I've just been playing for about 40 mins with just a couple of freezes.
Correction: The launch has the markings of all MMOs written all over it.
Does it ever happen that an online game doesn't have these problems when everybody tries logging in at the same time?
Yeah, here they are the "benefits" of online only. Had my third "Unconnected to server" or "Login failure, the game failed to communicate with the authentication server" seems the authentication server is busy, as lots of new users (Alpha backers) join. <IRONIC> Of course nobody could have estimated that all the remaining backers who could try first time today, would really jopin in! So why bother having more authentication servers ready? </IRONIC>
May be now people will slowly understand, why Offline would have been such a nice feature and so many were angry about that stupid decision.
AI ships still blocking port entrances, as a Lakon 9 and a Cobra can't go through the port entrance at the same time...
Another three and a half weeks to fix all this.
As Amazon cloud always has trouble around christmas season, because of the sales processing, I'm interested if the launch on 16th Dec will be affected or not.
Ok, some immersion disrupting minutes have passed, let's see if I can play again or the servers still have trouble.

Well, judging the experiences so far you better wait until say December 20th when servers are serving update with more than 0.001 Mbyte/s and are starting to respond again to your clients request.
You realize basically every MMO since WoW has failed right?
Right, except for EVE Online and Ultima Online..
Basically.
And I think UO came out before WoW.So, 1 in what, 100 MMOs in recent memory? Not very encouraging.

Look, they dropped offline, they want it all online, then put your money where your mouth is.
Do it right or don't do it at all. If you can't support this game at launch then you've failed as an online game. That's just the way it is. It doesn't make the game itself any better or worse, but you've failed that part.
And let's not forget the actual problems with the MMO part of the game like the bad netcode, p2p networking, lack of player to player interaction, lack of multiplayer missions, ...
Yes, the first day will probably fail. Somehow we'll cope. WoW would of failed your test too.
