In-game notification said downtime (which started 25 minutes ago) was expected to be 40 minutes. Hopefully it goes smooth, I have a lot of steel to move.
Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Update 1 - Thursday 6th March
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
4 Hours .... the In game message is..... inaccurate
This is because too many people are jumping , the delay exists to make sure the server don't Melt.
Game to popular .....
To be fair - when the CG was active - it was supposed to be finished before Trailblazers launched, but due to Commanders locking down the system for a week, FDev had to extend the CG time for an extra week, and this bumped it into Trailblazers launch. Due to that, it was always going to be the case that players would prioritise their own colonisation efforts to that of the CG in launch week of a new feature, it is just human nature.
That was standard message you see every week. Not changed to reflect actual downtime for this patch, which will be longer - from 7 to 11 UTC in best case scenario.
Not 100% impossible, you just have to try it enough times and the system will give you a place. Last time I had to make 11 attempts before it worked, super annoying, but not impossible
Ah gotcha, thanks for the clarity. I'm on vacation this week so it's the only reason why I'm around during maintenance, normally I'd be asleep.
Is this a Serverside Patch or do I need to update my Client ?
I Play the Epic Games Client on Geforce Now, and Client Patches took 3-5 Days for these Clients (Steam Accounts are blessed with immediate Patches....)

Server side fixes are only part of the update notes, so its more than likely you will need to download a patch.
Yes, one day closer to the Panther Clipper.
Is that delay because Geforce Now is running remotely on someone else's servers, and they are slow to patch their clients?
I use min-ed-launcher. Takes a bit of fiddling to set up. If Geforce Now is hosted then that won't work for you.
About not able to move your carrier : Why not one jump per cmdr per day?
GFN is hosted game streaming, and need to have the update applied at their end - you can't install it yourself (you can try, but it crashes the game session).
GFN lets you link both your Steam and Epic accounts, so you can play ED through either of those.
The Steam game image gets updated almost immediately after a patch / update is released - 1-2hrs max.
The Epic game image can take up to a week, and you can't play the game until it's done.
I'm not sure whether FDev, GFN or Steam / Epic are responsible for updating the game images, and when I raised this as a ticket with FDev a while back I got the impression Support didn't know either; and GFN support straight up didn't understand the problem no matter how ELI5 I got with them. But it's an utter pain if GFN is your only way of playing, and you have the game through Epic...
"Please note that the pause for System Colonisation will be resolved separately to this update when we are confident the issues have been resolved."
I think it would be nice to hear how the process that caused many systems to be illegally claimed was done, to test within the community to see if it is fixed, and to find other ways that could lead to similar effects.
I agree we need a super-hauler, of around 3x the capacity of a t9/cutter, so around 2400t, with SCO stability. It should be a lot slower in SCO drive - maybe max 2500c and take a long time to get up to that speed and a similar time to slow back down again (inertia) and, like the t9, it should be slow to manouver (It's massive so it should behave like it's massive). It should take up pretty much all the lading pad space - be basically a big oblong-cube with a window at the front; I seem to think the Panther was sort of like that anyway (although, I never played that version)? If it takes 1 1/2 times as long to do a run as a fully loaded T9, but delivers 3x the cargo, it would be worth it, I think.
