Seriously? downtime at prime time?

[wakeyomega]

Things are on the up! 5 pages of this thread and no-one has asked for their money back yet!

(BTW - would anyone else appreciate a server status notice on the launcher?)

They are nice enough to tell us when it's going down, but I am all for an option to have the game send us a text message on our phones when it has come back up. What do you say Frontier ?

Wakeyomega - anyone who threatens to quit Eliteangerous is just going to get laughed at at this point. Good riddens, leaving the best game made since ...Elite...lol.

I mean what good does a "trade" ship do me if it can only hold 8 cargo?? Seriously Frontier? As if a noob trader like me would have the capital funds to buy goods that would make an "8" cargo hold profitable. The most you can make on a run is like 3,200 credits?!?!

This:

Does the OP realise the Hauler can be upgraded?

The maximum cargo capability of the Hauler is 22T of cargo if you sacrifice your shields:

Class 3 Internal Compartment: 2^{[COLOR="#008000"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]} = 8T cargo rack
Class 3 Internal Compartment: 2^{[COLOR="#008000"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]} = 8T cargo rack
Class 2 Internal Compartment: 2^{[COLOR="#008000"][B]2[/B][/COLOR]} = 4T cargo rack
Class 1 Internal Compartment: 2^{[COLOR="#008000"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]} = 2T cargo rack

The default loadout of all ships tends to be very basic and you should always reserve sufficient credits to improve the basic loadout when purchasing a new ship. As to the server downtime you should get used to it because it's going to happen every day at the same time.

What may be prime time on the West Coast of the USA is early morning in the UK, where the game is being developed.

FD are in the UK so work on UK time. It's going to be prime time somewhere in the world, so no matter what time you pick someone is going to moan.

The US is not the center of the universe you know

Furthermore, based on a "where in the world are you" thread, it seems most players are EU (UK mostly). That's not to say the plight of other nations are to be ignored, but FD have to choose a time. And like it has already been said, its always prime time somewhere
