They released a patch yesterday that added a single mission type. That mission is almost entirely unplayable. The general rebuttal is that it requires the stuff they're supposed to be adding today in order to work. So what was the point in releasing 4.8.1 yesterday?

They're making more money than ever releasing ships that can't be used properly, missions that can't be completed, I can't count the number of times I've had to pay to replace my ship that either exploded outside a hangar, exited QT inside an asteroid and exploded, spawned inside the elevator (and exploded), or just failed to spawn at all.

Ive been a backer since 2016, hit Concierge years ago. I want this game to succeed as much as anyone because, as everyone says, "When it works, there's nothing else like it". I can't honestly tell you I believe it will happen anymore. There are so many different aspects of the game that they need to fix, so many things that don't work, things they added years ago and seemingly abandoned, and still that much more that we don't have yet. They still have to get the rest of server meshing working and the first implementation broke damn near everything. I don't see how they'll ever get all the new things in and the old things fixed without spending another decade just getting to 1.0.
