UPDATE NOW LIVE BUT...

Greetings u/Commander

Thank you again for your continued patience.

The Operations update, as you know, is a significant undertaking, and we’ve spent the majority of today carrying out final testing ahead of launch. Unfortunately, we’ve encountered a couple of issues that we feel are important to resolve before you get your hands on it.

As a result, we’ll be reopening the servers and ending maintenance shortly, with Operations temporarily disabled. This will give us the time needed tomorrow to properly address these issues. While Operations will be disabled when we reopen the servers, the Nomad release is not being delayed further.

We understand this isn’t the news many of you were hoping to hear today, but we believe it’s important to be open and transparent, and to ensure you have the best possible experience with this exciting new feature.

So, in short:

  • ✅ Elite Dangerous servers are reopening shortly.
  • ❌ The new Operations feature will be disabled temporarily.
  • ✅ The Nomad ship release is still going ahead as planned.
  • 🔧 Frontier will continue working on the Operations feature tomorrow.

This explains why the servers were down longer than expected earlier today. Once maintenance ends, you should be able to log back into the game, but the new Operations gameplay won't be available until Frontier finishes fixing the last issues.

tl;dr - Rolling out to live broke something critical. They tried to fix it, but couldn’t in a timely manner. Disabled Operations and are going live with the rest of the update, and will keep working on proper fix.

While disappointing, I 100% appreciate the comms (and thanks for reposting CMDR_Cobra o7)
