Nice!
Some awesome things coming out of Frontier Developments again! This is the best game company around in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

Ah yes, having not unpleasant flashbacks to Alpha 2 and the endless spinning ship loading screen 
1. Scoop drones
2. Refinery gets sticky slots instead of constant reallocation. It's especially stupid on those 4A refineries - they have enough slots for EVERYTHING
3. low value minerals appear in bigger chunks so we don't have to chase for gold+ asteroids
4. Class 3/4 mining lasers
5. Higher class mining laser produces bigger chunks instead of faster chunks.
As much as I like the update, I am sad. The problem is that with my internet connection the launcher gives me ETA in 3 days. I spent two days downloading Wings 1.2, before I got it, was hit by another update and now this "small" update looks again like the full reload.
FDev - could you:
a) with each update publish the size of update
b) use some smarter way to distribute it (e.g. torrent)
c) use some smarter way to make it more compact (e.g. rsync delta protocol)
This would help everyone who has limited connectivity. Even though the current change log is impressive it does not justify days of download, and what is worse, I cannot play even in solo when downloading.

It took me 3 minutes from start of download to patched (including local data file crunching). What kind of connection do you have?
I get the spinning ship in group mode but not in open play.
Do we need to create new groups ?
By the way, THANKS for your hard work FD.

I had the smug tester mode on and didn't get stuck with spinny ship that time, this time however....
Now I get the spinning ship in open play too...
The launcher shows 0.03 MB/s. But I do not know if it is connection limit or server limit. But suddenly the progess bar moved quite a bit, and ETA dropped to 21h
.Same here, cant get in to the game. ship spinning

Hm... All good, but this one I don't understand...
First time I've experienced the endlessly spinning ship issue (even back in Beta, I was lucky enough to never experience it when others did). Noticed Frontier has already said they're looking into server issues...
Still, thought I better mention it here, if only to help FDEV gauge the scale of the problem. Should note, it seems to eventually time out with the matchmaking error others have mentioned.
Great list of updates though, guys - can't wait to try them out

You're not suggesting people start messing about with network setting because of a temporary glitch with the FD servers are you?
We'll get people suggesting trying re-installs next
