Four consecutive Jumps caused four consecutive disconnects for me. I'm thinking playing on patchday was a mistake.

Like would it kill you to hire a designer or player experience lead or something on the level of your sound guys? Fucks sake.

This.

There are lots of reasons I find myself still liking the Frog community built up around it and the idea of Elite but not actually playing the game anymore after hundreds (maybe even passed 1000?) of hours. But some of them highlight a whole heap of problems with the game, and this is one of them.
Why can't you? Either Frontier agrees with grognards based on some hosed up 'back in MY day' sort of idea or can't be bothered and both of them make Elite the spacegame not for me. And the grind too but everyone bitches about that :v:
I don't think anyone at Frontier knows what they are doing besides the sound team.

And the graphics team. And the flight model team. They deserve credit for those, everything else aside.

Last night while fuel scooping in my AspX halfway between the bubble and Sag-A I accidentally got too close to the star and it kicked me out of supercruise. I boosted away from the star until my FSD cooldown was over and then re-entered supercruise. I immediately started taking on heat again as usual and followed the escape vector and quickly started cooling down. A message popped up on the info panel "OHClog Hazardous Substance Detected" which I've never seen before but reminded me of some youtube videos that show people taking damage when picking up cargo from destroyed thargoid vessels. Is this message familiar to anyone? Is it thargoid related? Googling the message hasn't come up with much.

What type of star was it, out of curiosity?

So like the day after I started I flew into Sol, docked at Abraham Lincoln station to buy some stuff, and flew around for a bit before returning to scanning rocks for cash.

I have no idea why, but I can apparently get into Sol already.

I have the Sol permit because I bought back in closed beta. If you bought it recently, dunno!

It only uses the first three letters/numbers which kind of limits the fun you can have with it.

But why? What's the point?

This is a question that has been asked of every single game update since beta.

It's practically a Tradition by now.
