I'm keen on this game for the space sim aspect, I'm not too interested in aliens and jump scares and supernatural stuff. So I was really pleased that 2.4 had not only Thargoids but also more missions so that the tedium of relogging open/private/solo would be banished, and there'd be an end to docking 2-5 times before something interesting/rewarding came up. Then 2.4.02 dropped and I just assumed it was a temporary credit constrictor while Fdev worked out what was leaking with Rhea and the Thargoid slaughter, ie how to plug that without killing the patient. Now with 2.4.03 I'm confused - the constriction is still there. It seems they rolled back 2.4 missions and indeed made them worse relative to 2.3. Never once in 2.3 or earlier was I offered a mission with zero reward (only cargo). I can't even engineer a lot of stuff because the mats never spawn. It's always the same 5 mats regardless of where you go. I filed a bug report ages ago and they said they were 'looking into it'...
