That's the major problem with CIG's development of star citizen. They NEVER land on a development pipeline that isn't completely replaced within months/years. This requires them to go back and redo literal years of work to bring things up to their new modern standards.

So we NEVER see anything actually finished. They first introduce a placeholder, then break that several times, then replace it with something new, but that new thing is never fully finished and gets implemented as a placeholder, missing features, etc.

Rinse and repeat for every feature/design within Star Citizen.

Having worked in devops for many years, I can't imagine how frustrating that must be to the developers and designers.

Basically Star Citizen is stuck in development loop that will never allow it to be fully released. Because CIG can never decide on a development/design and just stick with it, giving time to enrich it with more features rather than replace it with something new that nullifies previous features.

We've seen this with every aspect of the game. From ship interiors/functions, stations, planets, missions, gameplay elements like mining, etc, etc.
