Are Fdev seriously out of touch calling P2P "SEAMLESS"

Honestly, this quote is the biggest concern of mine looking ahead at Odyssey. As it stands, Elite Dangerous is a laggy mess as far as networking is concerned. Where players congregate, the game becomes unstable. I am currently in Shinrarta and even interdiction is unplayable. I cannot get my head around Frontier calling P2P a seamless experience. The game is horrific due to this. I truly hope to see Odyssey works, because if shooting on foot suffers the same instancing/lag/rubber banding as the main game, then by goodness the experience will be one to forget!

I'm unsure what seemless and P2P have anything to do with each other.
 
Not even then.
I had the opportunity to play ED, solo ofc, on a 3g mobile connection in an area with moments of quite bad signal.
I could not even mine properly - fragments were not being processed in the refinery, limpets were acting funny and so on - i had to call it quits.

Sorry but I cant resist - you say you are on a bad internet connection with high latency and slow speeds and you are complaining about Fdevs servers?

Issue is your connection, plain and simple.

Get on a real network connection and then try it. I play in solo only and never ever ever have lag or rubber banding in Shinrarta or anywhere else. I have a basic 100 mb cable connection, solid as heck and elite is smooth as butter.
 
Nope.
I was quoting someone so my post was related to that post and not blaming FD

The point was ED needs a decent, stable connection even for solo play and for any type of multiplayer in ED, that decent stable connection need to also be fast and rather low latency

yes
 
As time goes on, I think that ironically the space game will end up saving odysee.

Will the new planets and an rp version of the station services ui be enough to turn the score positive? For me... probably!!!

I can't even imagine what I would want to to do with fps gameplay or scanning brain trees even I could magic into existence anything.
