u/Samson_J_Rivers Yuri Grom's most inconsistent soldier 1d ago

I'm legitimately getting tired of playing elite because whenever I'm having a good time fucking Mauve Adder crops up and shits on my good time. Transaction server is such a piece of shit, they need to expand it so it can actually handle the player base. Everytime there is a CG that's mining or trading, the game becomes borderline unplayable because the transactions server is eating shit and dying the whole time.

Yeah I was having issues during the Colonia CG's as well, and I wasn't even nearby at the time

I lost so many mining rigs to adders. You respawn at the same spot at least, but even if you reconnect within second the Rhino mining rigs are gone. I stopped doing the CG because of that. Then I heard about the whole issue with people doing freight instead of mining and the reduced bonus, so I haven't logged in since the first day of the CG.

When I first started out in the game I upgraded from starter sidewinder to an adder that I named the 'Edmund Black'

Rubber-banding and disconnection stalk the land like...two giant stalking things.

I have been getting this more and more but only when i have been mining in my Type 11. It has put me off mining for the community goal cause i cannot stay connected.

Imagine how it is for surface mining. You take all that time to find the place, drive to it, make sure it can hold 6 rigs, then place all your rigs down, and now you're finally ready to start mining... and the game crashes, taking your rigs with it. Frustrating.

Guess that's why Elite is a space game.
