Elite Dangerous Solo play

Open

I have a rather poor and unreliable connection which tends to drop and sometimes is so slow I can hardly even load up my mail..
Will I still be able to play in "single player"-online mode? Will I be kicked out of the game the moment my connection drops? Anybody? :/

I just done a quick test on the latest v1.1 beta. On Solo mode it uses around 50 B/sec for send and receive, when loading in data from say the Bulletin Board it jumps to around 2500 B/sec receive. If I remember right the official word was 3MB a hour and 50MB a hour average data usage for solo and online.

As for disconnection tests it was tricky to judge. When in the station, I removed my ethernet cable and nothing happened but as soon as I chose Launch command (to launch the ship) the game gave a disconnection error. I would say you may be lucky if it disconnects at a time when it doesn't require data from the server, anything else may quit the game. Hope that helps.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it! :)

I will get the game and hope for the best. Still, such a scumbag move to make it always online a few weeks before launch :P
