Here's the feedback: I get all the messages all the way to "Initializing Security" and "Logging onto Server", but the countdown reaches zero and ends with something like "an unknown error" or something. Tried a few times with the same result. Some of the times when the countdown reaches zero, SFC OP also crashes a few seconds later.
However since it seems I'll not be able to play successfully anyway, you don't have to reset the server. (I hope people don't face problems drafting missions in the hex I was last in, due to my ghosted ship).
By the way, the server setup is really nice and fun, good size of map and easy to buy ships. Appreciate the effort you put in.
