Quick question for the experienced players

CMDRS. So I was enjoying so open play beta 3.9.1 last night and building up my Sidewinder so that my Life Expectancy becomes slightly longer than a few minutes in SC. (Loving the tweaks FDEV thank you). So I have broadband (not fibre) but a good 6Mbps on average. But I guess the E:D servers were rammed because I was lagging like hell inside the stations, so much so that my ship wouldn't register my cleared landing pad. Usually this would precede teleporting into the hull of the SpaceStation and dying. Ironically, in the safest place to be. (I haven't been ganked, griefed or PVP'd at all since I started playing. There were a couple of times I was pulled out of SC by players and very interesting results, one of which I previuosly posted about here in General and the most recent I was *spared* humiliated but spared! Yes I was taken out of SC by a Cobra MKIII and immediately reduced to 51% hull. I thought that's it I'm dead. But then he pulled back, complimented me on a good fight, said it was unfair, gave me some advice and moved on!!!

TL;DR
(Sorry about the prevarication)
my question: Due to lag in the stations I switched reluctantly to solo play, does what I do in solo play count in the persistent universe? Like discoveries, and trades and kills? Or do I have to start over when I switch back to open play?

Many thanks CMDRS I love this amazing wonderful game and I can't wait to get exploring properly when I have enough CR. Thanks for being so civilised! It's an amazimg thing to see in an online game!

Read this entire thread and see if it helps ya, assuming you understand it, if it's over your head I wouldn't touch it. Also sometimes you have to go back into supercruise and then into normal space to land even on a good connections (It's an older bug).

does what I do in solo play count in the persistent universe? Like discoveries, and trades and kills?

Yes, everything carries over even your location in the galaxy.

do I have to start over when I switch back to open play?

No, and the same is true with private groups just so you know.
