Hmm, it said "Server 54.155.255.140:19364" in the menu and the Start option was greyed out for about a minute or two, but I got in now. I guess the login is a bit hammered.

Waited a few mins, start turned white, got into Solo....seems servers are up and running again :)
 
Please hear me out. Long message but a humble one...

Ok, I've been down the pub (and dinner is on) since 2.05 was release, and now there is another update, which is also good. But I have to say...

FD effectively have 24 hours to get this released. It's got to be ready to go by Midnight Monday. They are doing amazingly well and all negative thoughts (if you have them) should now be saved for Tuesday.

The team have fought so hard and are giving up the weekend, (probably paid well for it though) to get all of us to this point.

They have proven to be one of the best and most pro-active British developers I've seen, ever, in order to bring the 80's back to life in such an amazing way.

Cut them some slack, support them, and enjoy the fruits that they are bound to give us, now and for the updates over the next decade if we get behind them.

My 10/s

Love you all...

Sorry for this short post
but as an old elite player (1984) I bought this beta (now gamma)
and after a long boring time to "grind", the "game" just not lauch after this last update
fed up ...........
 
Finally now in on solo after downloading the update of the update, can't get open play going (server connection message). never had OSOD before and didn't enjoy the experience very much!!!!
 
Downloaded the new update (r54009), launched game, and had to wait for approx. a minute for START to turn from grey to white. After that got into Solo game without issues.
 
After the latest update I was able to get into Open Play immediately, and the Start button only took the normal 2 seconds to turn white.
 
Looking up the Server IP on my login screen

IP Address 54.155.255.140
Location Ireland, Dublin City, Dublin
Latitude & Longitude 53.343990, -6.267190 (53°20'38"N 6°16'2"W)

Settles that then!
 
It's annoying hearing about all the whinging about the game not being any good. It's not Elite. It's not Frontier. And, it's not First Encounters. Things have evolved, they've had to change to fit the new style of game. So for those want to remain stuck in the past I suggest they go and boot up their Amiga 500.

It's not a bad game. It's just not the game you wanted it to be.
