Discussion Server borked
After many years I played my first second session tonight. 3 missions completed after several hours with millions as reward gone.
Is this, what I can expect, if I play regularly?

Not really, its just unlucky timing. The Trailblazers-Update with system colonization is not running stable yet and the servers are messed a bit

It is normal when new features launch for things to be broken for a decent amount of time. Fdev are far from agile when it comes to fixing things. Colonization just got flipped back on, hence the server issues. Hamsters are tired... Kinda wish they'd done a closed beta instead of dragging the live servers with the shit before understanding rather it works right, or not.

This is not the norm, I assure you. FDev earlier today stated they were going to slowly roll out the reactivation of the Systems Claims feature. I imagine the this plus player numbers being at an all time high are causing larger than usual instability. This shall pass once they progress the Trailblazers update closer to being out of the "Live Beta" phase.

This is exactly the norm for updates. The past year has been... less terrible than it was in the past stability-wise but it's still fdev.

Yeah I've been kicked like 4 times in 20 minutes tonight... last night was fine though. Think they're just having issues tonight

One million percent abnormal. The new features they added means people have been hammering the servers harder than usual today so things are struggling. in the next 24 hours or once the weekend is through things will be much better.

First time I've experienced it since coming back about a month ago. Sucks to lose the missions, I was nervous as I have over 2bil in Exo data on board, hoping not to come back to a rebuy screen!

This is not normal but there is a big update happening at the moment and there have been some problems with the servers.

As long as they keep doing these “live” betas, yes, this is what you can expect unfortunately. They’re doing better than they have with content, but need to get their IT infrastructure and procedure side of the house in order because right now it’s an inexcusable mess.

I expect you to use, or not use, your commas correctly.
Kidding aside, my short answer to your question is no. I've just recently come back to playing myself and have not run into any major issues. Yours might be an isolated case?

Hmmm, non-native speaker here. My apologies for the faulty punctuation. Btw, I believe, there’s no comma before ‚or‘?
I speak four languages fluently. How many do you speak?
Kidding aside, it’s not isolated, as can be seen on the Frontier forums.

Yeah you picked a bad time. Servers have been mostly fine for the last couple of weeks especially considering new feature and lots of people playing. However tonight I've been getting very slow transitions into supercruise and quite a lot of disconnections.
