As a solo ship, the Redeemer is good...with 2 or 3 turret positions manned, it's an awesome escort ship
And with a full fridge, it’s a danger to everyone

I would say slightly singed rather than burned
and like I said I still have some hope the game will come right in the end.
Probably not, but at least you know I'm as sceptical as you are anyway
The big ships aren't really my thing...with the exception of the cargo haulers of course. Horses for courses... I do have an Odyssey sitting in the hangar, but the chances of seeing that in my lifetime are leaning toward being unlikely

Anyway...I melted the BMM and got my Corsair out of buyback with the store credits. The Corsair is set for flyable sometime during 3.18 and it looks functional enough...plus it has a decent loaner in the meantime. I had enough left in store credit to buy a Raft, a space forklift and a few new paint jobs for my ships...left $100 bucks in the store in case I need it

Ach, it's fine as long as you keep the fridge door shutAnd with a full fridge, it’s a danger to everyone
Given what they have at the moment - Turrets "work" generally speaking (doors leading to them not so much, but that's nor specific to one ship), the hotel thing could work by re-using existing systems (maybe re-using the room assignment system from hospitals), the onboard shopping mall seems to be possible now that they changed the inventory system (so I suppose the sales terminal would show the ship inventory ?) so that's not "out there" for CiG. Compared to some other ships like the Caterpillar or the MSR where a lot of functions are still place holders with nothing on the roadmap indicating they'll implement them, I'd be optimistic for the BMM at least for its core functions.
Of course given the laughably small "universe" of SC that kind of ship is ludicrously oversized.
I dunno, the Merchantman’s spec is essentially for a portable city. And you’ve seen how SC’s stationary cities behave right
(That’s a lot of NPCs for a start. More passive than the 890J mission probably, but probably greater in number in the name of fidelity etc. Feels like there a fair few hurdles they could run into there. And that’d be prior to any quanta hook up for the market, and all the curveballs a player-run station might throw into the mix

Bonus lol, found this while checking up on the BMM’s spec:

That was in the early day though, before he did his "What is release anyway?" speech.

Wonder how much money was pledged but never refunded on the back of that blatant bait and switch.
Meh...a $5 CCU chain? I spend more than that on a bag of pick n' mix sweets for the Mole cave
Pfff. That thing is not coming then.Here are...
Some sentences you wouldn't expect regarding a single player game:

(Ergo SQ42 entity / save game tech changed again when they changed iCache -> Entity Graph for Server Meshing reasons. No wonder it ain't coming this year. Again

It’s ok, they’re delivering the game digitally straight to fans. That means they can restart it 4x more than others companies…

From Spectrum:
Today. I start up a delivery mission. Seems easy enough, first mission to get the hang of the game, no sweat. Except for the bug that removes the marker when you land at your target destination. But no issue, the contract description tells me to drop of the package at the "front desk". After crawling around the station with my delivery in hand, I found it: The reception! I talk to the cleark, he tells me to "drop the package". Only problem is that he doesn't tell me where. But after looking around a bit with the Inner Thought system I find the "use" interactable next to him. I drop the delivery off, talk to him again, he tells me to "drop off the package" again. So I remove the delivery and place it again, but to no avail. This repeats 2-3 times until I'm hit with a 30k, the package was never delivered. But oh well, no big problem, looking at my contracts list shows that the initial contract is gone, but another one just like it is up. So I accept that, get the delivery, fly to a different station, full of hope that the marker will not despawn this time. Alas, it does despawn just the same and after crawling around GrimHEX for half an hour in search of the reception, I got hit with another 30k.
Oh well, helpful folks pointed out that mercenary work pays out better anyways, so I try that. After first foolishly accepting a contract to take out pirate ships, which I luckily never encountered, I accept a ground base support contract. I'm in high spirits, got my shotgun ready, but given that this would mark the first time I attempted to land on a planet, I come in way too hot and crash into the surface. Now slightly annoyed I reclaim a new ship and head out again to reclaim my stuff. After all, those were the very first items I bought and I'd like to hold on to them a little longer. After landing now gracefully next to what should be my crash site, I am greeted to 4 landing legs protruding weirdly out of the surface of the planet, as well as a single, dysfunctional access ramp marker. But at least my stuff is packed neatly into a box next to it. So I pick up the box, carry it back to my new ship, open it, and find out that unfortunately the box only caried what was stored in the ship's inventory, but not what I had on me. Which included all my weapons. After searching for another box to no avail, I make my way over to the complex to simply steal a weapon off a guard or an enemy if that opportunity presents itself. And it does. I now possess multiple new weapons and a new armor. With high spirits I carry my loot to my ship, unload, and head back to the complex to carry even more loot out. That is when another 30k happens. After relogging, I now have lost again all my loot, both on me and on my ship.
I think I'm done for the forseeable future. While I look forward to playing the finished product, I almost find it arrogant of RSI to not give players easy access to at least get their stuff back when bugs that literally strip you naked are numerous and ever-present.”

So I bought a bundle yesterday. Always planned to, after the free week I finally committed.Today. I start up a delivery mission.

Clearly FUD of the highest order! When certain people play they never encounter problems like this. Probably their own fault, they didn't install it on a SSD or have a 50 Gb page file set up on their SSD.
