I had an extremely frustrating time today. I was trying to find a good station to trade with to cause a boom to help my Powerplay efforts. Only, when I was trying to use the market search, the selected market on the galaxy map(from the commodities market 'select market' option) would continually fail to apply to the market. It would leave it selected for the 'search market' tab, but then the choice to select it was greyed out so I still couldn't select it. Eventually I had to select a different market, deselect that market, go to the system map, select the target, back out, and THEN hit apply, to get it to work. Of course, all of this was compounded by the fact the market selection had virtually no filtering features, so with all the Odyssey settlements available I had to cycle through like 300 different markets to find the one I wanted.
That took me 10 minutes. Then, I bought the desired commodity - but because it was from my fleet carrier, it failed to actually put anything in my cargo hold. I then plotted a route and tried to jump - but despite plotting the route successfully, it was out of range! Somehow it had failed to account for my mass when plotting, but wouldn't let me jump with the plotted route.
So I had to replot, and flew to the target station, an Odyssey settlement. I fly in and land - only the goods that it said could be sold for 4k each are actually illegal, and unsellable. Annoyed and not wanting to waste the trip, I decide I want to get out of my ship. Only when I do, I realize I used the wrong suit to cut open doors, so i try to get back in to swap - only for the game to soft-lock with a black screen and footsteps playing. I have to log out - only that deletes all the local materials! Still, i decide to do some recon and get out to wander around, only all the NPCs are bugged out and not following their correct patrol schedules, just standing still!
Eventually I p*** someone off and they chase after me, and I try to board my ship, but the blackscreen during boarding lasts so long, I die, unable to do anything.
I get that there need to be priorities, but the current state of bugs and out of date features is becoming unacceptable. The game really needs a good tuning, refreshing some of these features that haven't been updated in a while, improving black screens, fixing broken patrol routes, and so on and so forth. Otherwise I can't help but worry that the game will just slowly lose all the gains it's made over the year.
