Up until recently I would have asked the same question.
.
However I've been using my second Cmdr on my old PC taking timed screenshots whilst I play with my main Cmdr on my new PC, side by side.
The second Cmdr gets disconnected but my main one does not.
This is making me think there is more to this and it might be local to my old PC.
Once I've finished the current run of timed screenshots I'm going to look through my PC logs at the same time as the disconnections to see if there is anything going on.
.
Well I got into an empty instance in Supercruise - took a few minutes though., and indeed 3 the three or four low/normal res sites I went to (hey its an Eagle!).
Looking at the netlogs, a few things reminded me of Beta:
Forced disconnect on timeout.
Failed responses for trying to find a relay to the session (is this matchmaker dying?).
Loos something like this:
{12:15:02} Trying 17 machines to find a relay to 247309712145080 x 3 [1/2]((Relay))Name Unknown
{12:15:06} ILeftSession(3): 0x000005cc51fe2043: 4229601523789 x 1053 Name Unknown
{12:15:10} Trying 16 machines to find a relay to 170188555762837 x 5 [1/2]((?62.76.12.215:54957))Name Unknown
{12:15:10} AttemptReconnectViaRelay - timeout - from Connected
{12:15:14} Machine 170188555762837 x 4 [1/2]((Relay))Name Unknown disconnected: timeout
{12:15:14} allow machine to time out immediately after forced disconnect (ed-31797)
{12:15:32} FlowControl:26
This is repeated - so the game is trying to connect me to an island but not managing.
The flow control actually drops each attempt - all the way down to 10 when the matchmaker decides I will have my own instance (so tha its 16 attempts in background as I wait).
Finally get into instance with the following:
{12:23:42} FlowControl:10

{12:24:02} Commander Put Undocked
So it looks to me like an insland was created but no-one can talk to the island owner, and the "hand over of authority" algorithm has failed to find a better match, or more likely their is a spin lock.
The Cobra and the Vulture I believe were departing Beagle 2 at the same time as me, the Anaconda I did not see.
Timeout in the end put me in my own instance.
I'm guessing someone has a dodgy P2P connection on their router and mucked up the island ownership creation by responding to enough to be eligable but not enough to set up the peer 2 peer. Gonna blame the Anaconda, because , well fish!
