Ahh yes. Release time is upon us. But i don't know why i thought for even 1 minute i'd be able to play this today or even for the next week.
The site takes ages to load, the store even longer. Galaxy map is now broken and wierd. Just trying to get home to hop in my main ship was a chore i had to "work around" just to plot a course.
Been disconected twice now just sitting in a station. Thankfully it didn't happen whole i was creating a holo me. Which brings me on to the next issue, wierd mouse pointer scaling... When the screen zooms in on your face, the game just blows the screen up beyond your borders, so my mouse pointer was flying everywhere. I had to plug in a controller just to be able to navigate it easily... poor programing and just lazy.
The ship name and ID stuff works well enough, although on a corvette it was hard to tell where it was placing the decals. Now the fun begins i thought, let's hop in someones ship. I go searching for an open ship, nothing. I keep searching... Nothing. I search some more, it finds a player. Attempts to connect... .... ........... failure, could not connect. I sit and try this several more times, same result.
So fantastic work frontier, i applaud you. 6 Week's in beta and this is the best you could do... i'm not even sure why im suprised at this point.

After 10 more minutes of trying i finally managed to load into a ship. That connection lasted all but 2 minutes
