Before, it was the "eternal 7 second approach" to destinations. And the arbitrary engineering grind. I just kind of wandered off. I certainly didn't spend money on ARX.
Now? No progress indicator on engineers, and generally BUGGED engineers. And vague wording, 6 covert theft and heist, is that a logic-grammar "or" or is it "complete 6 theft and also 6 heist missions"? FDev certainly didn't say, people had to just keep doing them and hope it worked. And I got bored waiting for the board to refresh anyway. Waiting is not good gameplay, maybe someone should tell FDev that at some point?
And very simply, I am pretty sick of running past my ship for EVERY mission. Landing gets same-ey, but at least you have to avoid SOMETHING. Walking past your ship, the exact same way, every time you want to get or turn in a mission, or check a station's shop? It's the worst thing a game can be- BORING.
Performance and balance is bad, but it doesn't drive me away from games nearly as fast as them just being boring. And there's so much boring stuff that requires JUST enough interaction that I can't afk and do something else in between.
Oh, and the spectacular data cost for any engineering, it's effectively IMPOSSIBLE to do that without missions, which again, is mission board refreshes, and if the specific material you want isn't there? MORE WAITING.
