Eeeeeh, come on. If thi sis a beta, it's the most feature packed, polished beta ever released.
Patches introducing bugs =/= beta state, just poor testing, which is not new.
I'm not white knighting, but this game has become a monster, I do feel for the devs. No excuse for the supercruise bug that came with the last patch, but they fixed that in 48 hours.
Next up I hope is the BGS fix, more variety of mission generation, the USS bugs and variety of USSes, the system states being pure nuts, materials gathering balancing, material trader balancing, and I guess that'll do for now. Oh, and outfitting overhaul.
It;s also true that the regular disconnection (which they attempted to fix in yesterday's patch) were still happening to me last night. I'd say a disconnection per hour, usually on dropping into a new system after a jump.
There's work to do, but it's perfectly playable.
