Same for me, got in a few times in 2.02, starport services couldn't connect, then very slow to connect, then thrown out through lost connection. Currently getting spinning ship if i can get that far. I've been playing since the last few Beta builds and this is the first version I've had trouble with.

Sad week for Elite it seems...
So far I've been unable to play since the morning of yesterday. It takes me roughly 3 hours, just to get maybe half of my progress on patching, because the server keeps timing out. (DL @ .03 Mb/s...) And so far all I have read about some of the more tedious additions to the game, aka W&T and Route Planning, is that they are very broken... Here's hoping this doesn't persist until the 16th...

As photographer I must say that the Coriolis station is squished too far to the right edge of the screen in the frontend background video. The image composition would look better if you'd push the planet and the station a little farther to the left. Minor nitpick. 
Major nitpick: 2.02 introduced the spinning ship of death for me for the first time. Can't get into the game after hitting Start -> Solo
EDIT: now it worked.

Tonight was the first night in over week I had 2-3hr to spend playing the game... and we end up with a mess
Remember, everyone has different work schedules; I recently had met a gamer who works off Oil Rigs, 2 weeks off, 2 weeks on... so you should probably be a "little" bit more considerate, even though we do all have lives and family.
So that's what the round thing with the exclamation mark is in my cockpit....an ashtray!

+ the front of it wouldn't be lit with the star behind it like that!
