Greetings Commanders

The Fleet Carriers Update beta begins today at 11:00 (UTC)!

Although the beta will run much like the real game, we ask that you focus on testing all the changes, along with your standard gameplay, to ensure the stability of the build. This will help us to identify and find ways to fix as many issues as possible before the update goes live.

As a reminder...
  • The beta runs from the 7 April and will end on 20 April.
  • This beta will be only be accessible on PC, however the next beta, in May, will include PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
  • To take part in the beta, all you’ll need to do is load up the launcher and select (and update) the following product: Elite Dangerous: Fleet Carriers Update Beta (Horizons) from the 7 April. Once that has been completed, you’ll have access to the Fleet Carrier beta. If this doesn't appear, please restart your launcher.
  • We'll be updating the Issue Tracker with a Fleet Carriers Update (Update 3.7) Beta section, and we encourage all those who are taking part in this beta to report any encountered bugs or issues through it. In addition, we will also be adding links from inside the game that will take you directly to the Issue Tracker site.
  • You will not need to resubmit any of the current issues that are currently present in the Issue Tracker. Any issues you encounter in the beta should be added to the dedicated beta Issue Tracker section.
On our official forums, we have created individual threads to give you more information about the beta:
All issues should be reported to the (Beta) Issue Tracker directly, but if you have any questions, please let us know on this forum thread.

Good luck on your mission, Commanders.

Receiving Login Failure messages. "The game failed to communicate with the authentication server. Please check your internet connection and try again in a few minutes."

Also, at the bottom, it says "Connection Status: Invalid Machine ID".

I just spent three attempts to report this issue as requested. The issue tracking system is broken and will not allow you to send the issue.

This is with the Steam version of the launcher.

Did they seriously not give us money to test the carriers?
It all need testing. People who don't have the money can test the facilities that are available from other people's fleet carriers. There is plenty to test without a FC including the bugs fixed. It's not all about the owners.
