Red alert has turned to amber - I'm assuming this is a good thing...
Okay here is a nUb impression of the game to date. I purchased the game on steam two weeks ago for the exploration aspect of it. Played that first week and liked what I saw to the point I had decided that I was going to bite the bullet and REPURCHASE the game when Horizons launched, it was stable, it did what it was supposed to do, things worked as advertised. That was week one.
Week two... Something as simple as a software update (1.4) is released and the result is that I have been unable to play the game I purchased for the last week. The exploration bug stopped everything, the entire reason that I purchased the game. CQC worked though (bleh don't care about it.) I would have tried trading except that I am 5,000ly towards the core so getting back to trade or mine would realistically take me several hours. No thanks not interested. I would create a second character except that I am only allowed one in the game so there goes that option as well. No worries I will wait, no big deal. Last night it is announced that the exploration issues are fixed and this is after several days, the problem started on Oct 4th and was resolved on Oct 10th, it was fixed though so good job. Seriously Frontier I mean that.
Then today happend. Servers are down and who knows for how long... After an update... Again... Now I have been cutting the company slack s*** happens. I understand that. A software update is never as simple as it should be and gremlins always work thier way into the system. But seriously? This game is supposed to be in a stable release state, it is no longer alpha, or beta. It is in a full blown version 1 final release. one week of play time out of two weeks of ownership is not a good record. I really am starting to feel ripped off at this point.
**Edit** I finally stopped getting the unable to log in error, progress I guess.

If Werner Heisenberg says you can't be sure of much then i'm not too perturbed by a server outage. 
Just think of it as a wonderfull opportunity to meet the folk on the forum. You want a real laugh? Come and join us over in Utopia https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteAntal/
Wouldn't that mean changing the bulb?
Back up for me at 2300Z/1800 CDT.
Gotta wait for the UK/Euro zone to go to bed, as usual.
As an explorer, I've spent the weekend just putting my written logs into EDDiscovery. So, no lost stuff (except for the galaxy map).

There is only a server outage if you try to log in... as I haven't tried to log in yet the servers are fine for me (Now where did I put that cat?)
Downtimes have several benefits. I will name a few to get inspiration flowing:
- you can return to breath normally and let your heartbeat come back to what is considered normal
- you can flip your keyboard and tap out all the food remains
- you can get out of the house and actually see a real-life star (total immersion guaranteed)
- you can get the trash out while doing so (that includes empty soda or beer cans and pizza boxes)
- you can answer that question your SO asked you about 3 months ago
- you can change shirts and/or underwear
- you can reprogram the airconditioning for the coming season
- you could call your mother

I am wondering on how the servers are going to cope in a months time, assuming the servers from Amazon are the same as the ones amazon use to run their online shopping system, I imagine they will be under great load come xmas shopping.
Combine this along with ED Horizons, a DLC sure to up the player count a large amount - at least for a while.
I hope I am worried about nothing!.

Overreacting???? LOL.
Are you suggesting ED network traffic is bigger than Facebook, Youtube, XBox360, Twitter, or even Pr0n?

who are you asking? if it was me due to me being worried about xmas, combined with amazon shopping and horizons launch, no I doubt it, however unlike all of the above, the difference is a few seconds lag wont be the end of the world - and indeed I certainly have seen differences in buffering times etc on the sites you list.
however having lag in the ED servers is a royal pita.
I am not saying the servers WILL fail at xmas, I am just worried that that may (and indeed xbox live has certainly collapsed over the xmas period, I have experienced this myself)
I was merely wondering what volume of data we are talking about. I know ED is getting pretty big eith a lot of players, but i have no idea how may gb's we're talking
Well not quite, try every weekend for the last 4@5 weeks and before that I would say 40% of the weekends since launch.
