A recent report from a new Elite Dangerous player highlights frequent random disconnections occurring shortly after leaving stations and engaging the Frame Shift Drive. These disconnects happen during routine gameplay such as traveling to planets and decelerating, interrupting the early game experience. Attempts to resolve the issue by waiting or reloading have not helped, raising concerns about server stability or client connectivity. This problem could discourage newcomers and may require Frontier Developments to investigate and address potential network or server issues.
- Disconnects occur after station departure and during travel phases.
- Issue affects early gameplay and new player retention.
