Frontier's servers are not built for this heavy load and they have no load control algorithms to manage the heavy load exceeding their capabilities. Their strategy is wait and do nothing as people eventually do something else, making room for other players and thus self regulating the issue over time. Unfortunately time is a valueable resource for me as is money for FD as a company. I'd recommend everyone to not buy new skins and ship kits for the new ships or any ship until we got improved servers or atleast a simple login queue.
Having said that, I expect that without any attempts by FD that this issue will solve itself in a week or two.
This is a good example of overloaded servers and companies that simply don't care. Again the only thing we have recieved is a "we're working on it". Yeah, trying to hire more hamsters for an underpayment of two nuts per day?
Pretty sure these aren’t “Frontier’s servers” but Amazon’s servers. Given that Amazon has more money than Chris Roberts could waste on a space game that won’t make it into beta, it’s a sure bet it’s not the servers. It’s likely cheap, rusty routers somewhere in the UK full of mice and warm beer.
