Does Anything Work? :-/

I get it, bugs happen, but things have gotten really bad lately.

So there I was, all set to collect some thargoid tissue samples - ship, storage, a wing man to provide some cover and...

Programming Limpet Drone.

Programming Limpet Drone.

Programming Limpet Drone.

But no limpet drone.

The drone count would go down by one, but no drone. I'd try again, the count would go up by one, then down by one again, but no limpet drone.

There's a message in my message box, but the message list won't scroll.

I can't select a filter because the message filters don't scroll.

My wing man tells me he can't switch between targets.

Ugh! Very frustrating to say the least.

But I get it.. bugs happen, glitches happen. And we did still manage to have some fun in spite of all the setbacks.

I dropped into a level 4 USS in an anarchy system last night & was attacked by 5 (I think) small ships ranging from Vipers to Vultures, they had varied builds, the Viper mkIII had a surprisingly tough hull and it wasn't easy to pull one out of the pack. It was a lot of fun & a challenge appropriate to the equipment I had on board.

After I'd killed them all I collected a bunch of high value mats & put my repair limpets & AFMU to work repairing my ship. Overall it was a great (optional) experience, although not one I'd want to do over & over. The fun far outweighed:

The NPC chatter was clearly bounty hunter chat despite my being 100% clean
My repair limpets expired so I fired off another only to be told there was already a limpet attached, wasting a limpet. A few seconds later the old limpet popped, it should have popped in time with the expiry message
While using my AFMU the damage % numbers updated inconsistently

All these bugs will eventually be fixed, and if they are not I can live with them, they are not game breaking.

I did the same in a REZ and i had around 100 limpets. 30-40% got destroyed on launch either by hitting each other or going to collect the same material at the same time.

On radar it was all over the place, going very fast from one side to another, other time showing 6 limpets while im limited to 3. It was just a weird experience...

the message inbox issue you mentioned has happened to me several times now. At one point, I managed to get into a state where the inbox list was displaying, but my controls were unable to operate anymore... I received 4 messages last night and was unable to read them for my entire 3 hour play session because the inbox isn't working correctly. My hope is that all these bugs mean there've been massive improvements in the game's back-end code to improve maintainability and extensibility of the game longer term, but I'll have to wait a while to see how it actually pans out.

This isn't an issue with Collector limpets, this is an issue with Research Limpets - you know, the really expensive controller that has only one purpose?

Ah. I haven't used that one yet.

Other limpets have been fine for me. I will try the research limpet out tonight, but I expect your suspicion is right.
