What did anyone really expect? Seriously.

I always expect problems when a patch is released. The same will happen with Fleet / Personal Carriers and the huge 2020 update. Give it a week or two and things will go back to normal, usually. The good thing to remember is that we are not on a subscription model with Elite. You are not losing real money during shaky days. :)

Seriously, there's no excuse to release an update in a condition this bad for an online multiplayer (?) game. It's simply irresponsible. There's no excuse.

Is there really a huge update next year, or would it be better to start fundraising for ED-2. Take the best bits you have, plus the lessons learnt and lets do it all again... I'm willing.. ;)
I'm getting on in years, so lets not waste time here.. :)

Have they? I've played for about 3hrs so far, or in the new terminology earned 28 ARX points and the biggest problem I've seen is targeted station icons being oriented the wrong way.

Barely noticed any difference to the actual game, the speed chevrons look kind of cool but a little out of place (I'll get used to it) and make it marginally harder to see actual speed vs requested speed because it's not a straight line indicator any more.

I think if you don't like the new cosmetic stuff the solution is simple. Don't spend any money on cosmetics & if enough people feel the same way FDev will be motivated to change it.

You're lucky.

Still not buying anything.

The account grinding services have calculated amortized values for everything, so if they are in the business of selling "preground" accounts they are losing projected future sales while the system is down. I prefer small batch roasted whole bean accounts myself.

True, you're not losing money, but you're losing new sales.

Possibly.

Thing is, if a plumber shows up to fix a leaky tap, or install a new shower, you might expect the bathroom carpet to get wet, or that there'll be some mess in the bath, or holes in the wallpaper.
You wouldn't expect the garage door to have stopped working, the living room sofa to get ripped or the garden wall to have fallen down.

That's the thing (IMO) so many people are frustrated by.
Sure, we get (on a superficial level) that changes to code have knock-on effects but it's a bit baffling how changes to the way cosmetic items are applied have managed to break engineering as well as screwing up a variety of smaller things.
Without, and this really can't be stressed enough, anybody noticing during the time it's taken to develop this update.

Also, it seems that suiciding gets you Arx.
Do it in your freewinder and it's money for nothing (as Mark Knopfler once said).
