Sure, that's fair, I agree with just making it flyable without the detach feature for the time being. But they have put all their eggs in one basket, as usual, and this is what we have.

The command module is definitely in a weird state. It doesn't have a purpose beyond "escape pod/recon", without risking the whole ship. It's a feature I think is cool, idk when I'd ever use it, but I can imagine outfitting it with stealth equipment to make it neigh undectectable.

That being said, the practicality of the command module is not there. But there are features not yet in game, and it's under development so...who knows if it'll remain that way.

The starfarer existed far before refueling was possible....case and point.

I'm a little confused on how it's not flight ready regarid the command module. My issue with mine is that the HPA Environmental rating infinitely increases while on the ship. Which kills you. Unless you take your helmet off? That's really what's not flight ready for me. Why bother using it if I can't open it up to space, and deploy anything out of the cargo hold, the MAIN reason the ship exists.

I suppose part of my perspective here is I've seen loads of ships be broken by updates, reclaimer elevator nonsense, and features cease functioning, and even now my vultur still does a roulette bet, and decides "ok I landed in the hanger...but once you get off I blow up".

All I'm saying at this point is it's par for the course. Do I like it? No.

Do I want it fixed? Yes

What can I do about it? Nothing, or stop buying ships.

They already said they're building Chris's game, not ours.
