I had the exact same starting (LHS 3447) location and same free eagle loc (LHS 1914)) as you
Same here. Wiped once, got the same result, but on the second wipe, it was in the same system as me: Chemaku
I only managed to actually play for about 10 seconds... couldn't even get my ship to launch. Then I've been trying to launch the game after being disconnected and crashed for the past three hours
Hasslefree uninterrupted offline play is just for fossiles from the past. It's the future, don't you know?
So umm...... Is there going to more updates in Gamma? Not to sound like a jerk but.... there is so much missing that was promised/confirmed/etc.
Still missing
Mining Scanners
Mining Drones
Anything close to a real smuggling system
Grouping
Slaving Drives
Salvaging
Dynamic Missions
much, much more.
Can we just get word that this is either cut from game or coming soon? The whole "MAJOR updates coming with Gamma release" mentioned in the newsletter and the only real change was "added the 2 new ships as playable" doesnt seem MAJOR to me? Yes they opened up the rest of the galaxy. But..... so what? So there are now 3.9 billion more systems with nothing to do in them but explore solo since I cant group or chat with anyone?

So far, four attemted jumps, two failed with server disconnects some way along the route.
If you are going to have an online only game, you have to have a working online infrastructure, and right now, they don't.
Agreed completely. This and no offline means I won't be buying, sorry FDev.
......Ticket it please......
for me it wasn't the nearest starport, more like 47ly and about 10 system jumps to get to my freagle...
They might be using Amazon's Cloud Server infrastructure, but they may not have provisioned enough servers to scale up to due to larger than foreseen demand... maybe?
Seems like your servers are melting, better put in a request for Amazon to scale up operations for you.
I have had some decent periods of play, long enough to get to Sol from my starting position, but it is frequently crashing and disconnecting.
The client has crashed three times on start up in a row now. and on the third time the crash reporter itself crashed!
Still, keep it up love it so far in spite of the problems.
Edit: yes the crash reporter is now failing to connect as well, 2 times in a row :/

And this is my fear with Elite, if it becomes this popular we need stable servers that have enough bandwidth to handle demand. I cannot say i have good experience overall with these online games and servers.
Just to check, you need to complete all the tutorial missions first before you can start your game? My start is greyed out and the tutorials are buggy so I cant complete them.
