I am a bit frightened about the state of many issue reports, which have been fixed in updates only to re-appear later.
Some of the prominent examples after Update 8 would be:
- Undermined Powerplay Merits in Control Systems do not show up in the Local News - Power Update
This issue was in fact fixed since Mid-June, hence why the issue reports ceased. The problem reoccurred starting in August and since then there has not been a successful report, leaving the issue unresolved. This has partially contributed to the collapse of Mahon, whose players were unable to identify undermining efforts against them in time. This in turn led to Mahon's five-yearlong lead in Powerplay coming under threat. Because of a bug...
This one remains broken still.
- Choosing +Influence reward from missions gives no influence
There are many initial reports that this bug has (yet again) reappeared after Update 8. A devastating problem for BGS players, especially those ones who don't know about it and therefore fail to avoid selecting these rewards.
- Passenger Missions no longer list destination / receiving faction before accepting
This issue as been newly introduced as part of the Odyssey UI and has still not been addressed. At least passenger missions now also show target body distance (the did not at start).
There are numerous similar cases of information removed from the UI that have not yet been added back to the game. I am trying to keep a full list over here:
- Megaship cargo not ejected after hatching
Mega-ship looting was fixed a couple of updates ago, now it is broken again.
Thanks to the replies for pointing this one out:
Unless there are mechanisms to prevent issues from coming back after the next update or other future updates, this will continue to happen. It's extremely frustrating to go through the effort of making issue reports, having them confirmed, voted on, acknowledged, eventually fixed.... only for them to become issues yet again. The whole process of community input when addressing bugs is pointless, if they keep coming back. These are just three examples I give in this thread, but I am sure there is many more. The second one in particular appears to have returned for the third or fourth time now...
I hope I am not the only one with this sentiment.
