Servers are screwed again....

Western europe here, things are fine. Where are you/which server?
Typical evening and weekend meltdowns again? 
Seems ok here in the UK.
This will all be okay, after 0100Z/GMT, once the Brits go to bed.
Try Validating the game files from launcher, its not always server related.
You have want to check your connection, if you are UK, and have a BT connection, (I don't recall their full name) they are having a lot of issues of late, due to sub par network equipment.
That said you should also check your network log it might inform you of what is happening, or at very least contact Frontier's support and give them your network log so they can figure out and fix potential problems.
Check the clock, and note the last umpteen server meltdowns, and when they cleared up.

I'd be happy with that if I could actually find some RES's in open at the CG...this is a joke! No love letter from this discerning customer - sort it out Frontier!
Back on topic: In UK here
Since I returned from 3 months away - working..not prison!
- previously been using M&KB on my HP Envy, where I have beensuffering some related probs since last update, but now back on my rig with Hotas - everything is just awesome (I'd forgotten how beautiful everything is at 'Ultra') & transitions are super-fast now!
Did FDev upgrade or increase the back end server hardware/software when the PS4 was launched?
Check your PING/Latency with the Frontier servers. Chances are good you are well over 500ms. I see this all the time with my own connection, and ED is the ONLY game where I ever see ping times in the mid triple digits pretty much all the time.
This is why I primarily play in SOLO where the effects of this crap is much less noticeable.

I've tried both last night (I'm east coast US) and disconnects are on every 4th or 5th jump (or dropping out of SC). Had a 19-jump trip and it was frustrating. Even in normal space, just approaching the station caused a disconnect. Finally made it in but yeah, these disconnects really break that immersion.
No problems from Alpha Centauri apart from the odd flare.
My main gripe with open is the ridiculously LONG wait times to drop out of SC at a destination. THIS has been a problem forever in Open, and despite whatever they did to the netcode in the last update, this is still a major problem for me. Even in a Private Group with more than a handful of players this same thing happens over and over again.
It even impacts Frontier's own live streams a good deal of the time. Check out the one from yesterday for a perfect example of everything that is wrong with both Open and Private Group instancing.
Compare that to Solo, where the wait time can be counted in seconds at most to the much more common instant drop into normal space. This is how it should be for all modes.
