I went to the megaship to get colony materials and found it to be bone dry. To which I was like "of course it would be" because it would self defeat the CG. But that doesn't change the fact the megaships are essentially offline for the duration of this CG, thus nerfing colonization during this time. And yeah sure sure, you can make fun "Oh, you have to go multiple places to gather mats now, how terrible" /s. But the point of these megaships in the first place was so we didn't have to do that.
Look I get that people like me are an after thought, people who, you know, actually want to build up their colony systems. And sure, I only have one system, but its mine, it's being developed in earnest and I'm trying to work within the colonization mechanic as it is, along with all the out of game resources to build it right. So yeah I'm complaining the megaship that was put in, precisely so I DON'T have to go running around isn't doing what it was designed to be doing.
As far as your commentary about the CG, credits don't mean anything, money as concept never has, it's what you can get with it that determines value. Right now Fdev has turned on the money faucet, precisely because these squadrons are getting upgraded into vanguards and squadron assets are going to be expensive, like hugely expensive. I think we all kind of guessed that. and the cargo racks are the cherry on top, since again they allow anyone who didn't get the PC to get a taste of that MkII cargo goodness. and those who do have a PC, to min-max the heck out of it.
