Or for more accuracy how about moral standards that are not the same as mine.

Mate, cmon, you've chosen the wrong hill to put your moral high horse on. And now, you're preaching from some imaginary moral high ground while trying to count other people's money, cmon. I see how thinking this way would be convenient for you to reinforce your high-morals at expense of others - not really a moral thing to do isn't it...
Company produces a better product and makes money in the process to produce more and hopefully even better product. 2024 showed that it works - players get more/better game, company makes money to fund it and makes profit. If you expect things to be for free and that's how you think company should show that is cares for players - try to find a game from a charity. If you expect an online game to be funded with only DLCs, or if you want a perfect game with no mistakes along the way and no broken promises so it somehow warrants you moral money spending - go ahead and try to do it yourself, because for online/mmo/mmo-like games it doesn't exist. It is not a perfect world, perfect is subjective an objectively impossible, mistakes will always happen - probably hard concepts for high-moral people.
How? - Company sells early access to the new content, not even all content, only parts of it. It works. So far it works better than any other monetization that was tried before. Company can show how much it cares for players only by how they make the game for players to play - so far there is much more game gets released than microtransactions, and for the full year, and game gets objectively better (even Steam player count shows that very clearly), and with a plan to release more game in not so distant future for free.
I don't even want to talk how
How are you doing?
Its not about morals. Speaking only for myself: I purchased every new ARX ship for at least 2 very definitive (for me) reasons:
- those are new and better.
- to give Dev leads some heavier arguments when management giving priorities. With better ARX sales stats they can always argue that instead of inventing few more weekly "missions" it is better to release one more ship. Or ship kit, or whatever. Basically with ARX I have influence (tiny one, but some) on "departments" inside FDev. If ships "department" did good, I voted with my ARX for giving them more resources. Naive? Probably yes, but nobody confirmed opposite ether (yet).
No, I haven't. The line between right and wrong may be blurred for you, but it's clearly defined for me. I have moral standards, maybe you don't, I don't know because I don't know you.
And I'm not your "mate".
Whatever floats your boat, mate. Next time you want to judge morals of someone you don't know - remember your own words - you don't know. So yes, wrong hill, imaginary high horse, but you can feel better about yourself all you want, it just paints a different picture when you need to try so hard for it.
The settlement trespass zone issue report has now reached the voting stage. Thank you to @DjVortex for taking the time to make the report and all those non-equestrians who confirmed the problem

Good-Bye, old paint,
there's no place to land!

The settlement trespass zone issue report has now been Acknowledged by FDev
I've been persuaded here that the first statement that the Cobra 5 is supposed to be a mid-ship was accidentalThe settlement trespass zone issue report has now been Acknowledged by FDev

It would be amazing as the next step of griefing! Just imagine: I could directly hog the large landing pad of a CG megaship in my Sidewinder! ...and you can name your Sidey "Staying4Ever" 😁

Sigh. Those middle-of-nowhere dust-ball settlements with their amateur-hour homebrew non-standard non-compliant "landing pads". What's a CMDR to do...
Someone explained it in entire l another post with the manufacturer handing out a prototype to some people for final testing before releasing it to the market.
I think that's a good explanation and soon it will be available for credits.
I think the funniest thing Fdev could do is to fix the problem and then publish a Galnet News article saying something along the lines of "Faulcon Delacy has successfully negotiated with owners of surface settlements to allow the Cobra Mk V to land on their small landing pads even though its wings overlap the edges of the pads by 5 cm."
Folding could get strange if you have the ship kit fitted as the wings on that fold.
Perhaps they could let it land at 90 degrees to the pad axis.

I'm very curious as to how.
Newest patch notes say that this has now been fixed. Yay!
Has FDev indicated this is in queue for a fix? I just created a small surface settlement in a new colony and my poor Cobra V got lit up during the ribbon cutting ceremony, haha.The settlement trespass zone issue report has now reached the voting stage. Thank you to @DjVortex for taking the time to make the report and all those non-equestrians who confirmed the problem
The patch notes for the Trailblazers update say:
I have not yet actually tested that it indeed has been fixed because I have been busy with colonization. I suppose I'll need to test it with some random surface settlement.
I wonder if they fixed it only on a particular kind of surface settlement but didn't on others, or something. I need to test it myself.
