Follow on missions? Mega ships? No more bugs than any other release. 2.2 also wasn't a year ago, it was released in mid to late October of 2016. We are barely 1 year out from the release of 2.1 actually. Given 2.4 is scheduled for release in Q4, its September release will make it less than a year between 2.2 & 2.4.
How could anyone dislike 2.3, when...

Yes, the performance improvements have been quite noticeable.
Planet landings -- that point when you switch from Orbital Cruise to Glide -- is now often nearly instant, which makes the whole landing sequence seem much more fluid and realistic. I used to hang there for 10 seconds sometimes.
And the mission boards have been much quicker, as well. And hyperjumps.
Overall the game just seems a lot smoother running.

I saw two harmless cutters last week. I mean, that takes some concerted effort to pull off, gotta respect that some.
Sadly a new player in a big ship is a very bad combo for many reasons, not the least of which survivability. They would be better off in a cobra mk3, IMO.
Yes, I've noticed the optimisations. Much better!
Well, I don't think it's fair to compare Elite to other games of smaller scale.
I don't get the assumption that "Mostly Harmless + Cutter/Anaconda/Big Ship = n00b doing suicide scanner missions in a sidewinder or other CR via "exploit" strategy.
My earnings from exploration alone are sufficient to purchase and fully upgrade an Anaconda. I am "Dangerous" at the moment, but I engauged in 0 combat until I had a combat fitted and engineered FDL, which took about one month of running missions to get into a fitted AspX and four months exploring and trade/haul CGs. Not as expensive to purchase as the Anaconda, but throw in the moduels and its current value exceeds that of a new Anaconda.
Which would be great... If it was possible to use the galaxy map to plot a course anywhere easily...
