Disconnecting every 2 minutes. Transitions from Ground to Space & vice versa are borked again - my ship is showing up on the Ground, and my Captain in space.

Very unstable.

Its server lag, the avatars eventually swap out (for me) when the area catches up.

Yep. It's definitely having stress load issues atm.

Took 4 attempts to warp out of Sol to the Sector map. Disconn'd a minute after that.

...I give up for today

Totally unplayable. get kicked every minute. retrieving chaaracters and maps takes a minute...

yeah, this isn't busy time, either.
This is a very strange beta but hopefully they will get it fixed before release.

think of it this way...would you rather it went through this stage now, or when the game came out?

Oh, I agree.
But this is beta for two weeks. This server issue is preventing people from testing other aspects of the game.
you have to admit, such a severe problem showing up like this only now and not in the past few months of testing is suprising.
