[Michael Brookes]

Is there a Gamma bug thread yet?

Looks like we're having some server issues - we're on it.

OmG wearing rubber underware just in case i can't contain myself.

Yep same here, unable to connect to server.
Audio went crackly after accessing galaxy map, issues selecting system map from within galaxy map but works ok from side GUI. Had a quick look around the founders area and the system map for sol.

I was also curious about start options, I seemed to have duplicates, KS versions and standard versions with little or no difference (imperial bounty hunter and KS: Imperial Bounty Hunter)

Nice so far, hope to get back in later
Edit: and now the forums are maxed out, lol.

And your surprised?

I'm not. I said that this would be an ongoing problem back before Beta 2, based on my experience with other eagerly awaited online releases. Release hour/day is always a server meltdown. Always! Servers are usually only optimized for nominal usage and studios/publishers skimp out on bracing them for absolute peak moments, because these are very rare and accounting for those short-timed events is just too expensive. Some people didn't believe me back then.

The forum is collapsing under the load as well.

Can we only have one commander slot atm?

 

[killminster]

At least i got to get a look at the founders system, brilliant.

Any ideas where it is or do we have to find it ourselves?

I payed 60£ for a sidewinder ?

 

[Mr_Jim]

As a KS-backer i can start there. Got disconnected before i could locate where i was in the galaxy map. You need a permit if youre not a kickstarter-backer i guess?
