I like 2.4,
It is a good update and many problems have been fixed. The improvements to the inbox are also very nice. And it is good to see that the story of the game developes although it does it a bit slow since it is in 'real-time'.
To be fair there is one thing I did not like about 2.4, it is that I have still to wait for the Type-10 [big grin]
Okay there is another thing I do not like about 2.4... and it is some whining -redacted- on the forums.
The people at Frontier worked/work most likely very hard on Elite: Dangerous and from what I can tell they do put a lot of passion and effort into what they are doing.
They even come to the forums from time to time to answer questions, a thing some other developers would not even consider doing.
And the sad part is that -as far as i know the developers wanted to visit the forums more after 2.4 being live- they are being greeted by being -redacted- on by some issue compensating wannabes* that write stuff like:
Incompetence!
Idiots!
Can't you develop a game?!
What is this !
That is easy!
You don't know what the hell you are doing!
How stupid are you devs?!
Even I could do better than that!

Reading all through the recent hate- I am somewhat glad that I don't work at Frontier because putting so much effort into a game just to visit a forum where the civilized feedback is being overshadowed by: U stupid!!!11!1. Is just sad.
Some people are either too stupid or dont want to think about why things are how they are instead they just let their anger out and then demand, after being hostile towards the developers, that they come here and answer them like some kids would an angry kindergarten teacher after they did something wrong.
For example:
FDev nerfed the AX Missiles.
Why?
Because they want the Thargoids to be a challenge that adapts to us players so we can have a challenge besides the ordinary PvE.
But why not buff the Thargoids?
Because buffing them would mean that at some point the missiles would need a buff too or a better stronger weapon would be released.
And then people would cry because 'them damn' AX weapons are better for PvP than the others.
But why don't they make special anti Thargoid damage that only works against Thargoids?
Because Lore-wise it would not be of much sense that the AX weapons do 0 damage against human ships and because somthing like isn't being programmed by two guys in one night.
-At least this is what I think the reason is.
Also if some of you are 'mad' because some things can only be done with other players... well then you shouldn't have bought an MMO.
SPOILER ALERT: One of the M's in MMO stands for Multiplayer.
I understand that some are angry but those who are adults should at least be civilized or diplomatic enough to say what they think with at least some manners.
If I got something wrong or did not see, tell me, thats why I posted it here.

Edit:
"some issue compensating wannabes" With that I mean the "I know how it is done!" and "That ain't too hard to do!" kind of people that seem to think that they know what is best for the game without even having entered a game development studio in their live and neither have ever programmed a game.
"issue compensating" With that I mean the people that seem to try to compensate personal problems a bit with -redacted- on the developers and other people using the forums in a negative way.
-redacted- I did not use words that would be worth redacting (In my opinion) but instead used "-redacted-" in their place because if I used swear words they would have been.
