Which is a shame, because throughout premium beta, full beta, and gamma I really didn't have too many issues.
But 4 days into full release and I have had nothing but trouble.. First of all I spent the first four days of release traveling to the galactic core, on getting there I discovered there are sectors of space around it that are completely broken. You try to hyperspace into them and you're disconnected, but worse is your character remains in limbo and cannot log back into the game.
So in goes a "stuck character" ticket.
Three days later I get a message saying they can't fix the issue or allow me to log in at my current location due to technical issues but they can return my character back to its last docked position (25,000 light years away!). I explain that the amount of time I committed to reach the galactic core regions (50+ hours) was a big time investment that I probably won't be able to repeat and if they couldn't move me to a nearby sector I would prefer to stay where I am until the issue is fixed.
I wait another day, and to their credit they get back in touch and inform me I have been moved to a new system nearby and should be able to log back in.
Great.
I log back in - two jumps later I'm disconnected and can no longer log back in... another bugged system it seems.
Another day goes by and they're back in touch, this time they moved me to an entirely new sector adjacent to the one that is broken. They inform me that if it happens again there will be no one left in game support to move me until after the Christmas period.
Fair enough.
I log in, and you guessed it, 1 jump later and bam, disconnected, can't log in.
Another entire sector of broken star systems it seems?
Ticket re-opened.
This time I've given up. Faced with not being able to play over the Christmas period I finally ask to be returned home as its obvious the game is in the galactic core regions (they said as much and mentioned a fix for it is slow going at the moment).
So they return me back to the station I set out from last week. 50 hours travel time down the pan but at least I'm back in stable systems and can play over Christmas....
But the nightmare aint over though, because after finally logging in I find that all my stats have been reset to zero. Its like my character was wiped. I at least got to keep the credits but all other stats are gone, the 4000 systems I'd visited (1700 of them before this particular trip), all reset back to zero, my combat stats all zeroed, trade stats zeroed, exploration stats.... all zeroed.
And the icing on this particularly sour cake, I can't even sell any of the data I collected as apparently I collected too much and stellar cartography can't list it (possibly due to an overflow or some other reason?), bottom line is I can't sell any of it so I'm effectively station bound on fear of losing it all if I die.
This is all I get, and it does nothing...
Cheers Frontier, merry Christmas!

sorry to hear you're having issues. I wonder what the problem with the galaxy is that's causing the issue. Hopefully FD can sort it out in the new year....
