Every single time when i come back to read what is new in this game i got disappointed (except "Horizons").
Every single time i expect new content to play and there in no content only some broken functions and fixes that should have been fixed long time ago.
How other games can deliver new content every month or doing events? And this game ...
Lack of interest from their side is irresponsible. Maybe they make already huge amount of money, who knows.
You need huge amount of imagination to play this game and convince yourself "this is fun and satisfying".
Some of my observations:
First, Money hasnt real value in this game. That is first and important problem. How they balance or add something in this game when this is not fixed?
There is not balanced how much for how hard you get XYZ amount of money. Money must have some sort of ID to locate money from exploits and deleting them. Also this game exist a lot of years and there is no WIPE or ending event or something which can refresh economics and give money value back. There is no healthy money circulating, so players have already billions.
Market- only PvE market with flaws like no cargo storage, no real use of goods only "box" with price and weight (except maybe fuel), no player to player transfer, no money transfer, no auctions.
Fights- unbalacned, exploitable, NPC ships cheating, huge flaws in PvP, ignoring other players or griefing other players
Story- what story?
Events- randomly generated, combined with fights flaws and market flaws. Still boring but for some challenge and end game.
Traveling- bilions of stars but the same boring hyperspace animation, where you cant do nothing = wasted time. Traveling from point A to B for every single mechanism in game, and game doesnt even try to hide it with something fun.
Missions- OK, only interesting thing, but again chained with waste travel to collect reward (yes in future there is no bank transfer)
UI/UX- still not enough information, needed to look at external websides, ship modification still take long time to animate added guns
MMO features- only wing missions, multicrew, turn off/on beacon, chat in location/wing . But only when you are lucky and your wings are in same instance and have good connection. No global chat, no functional mechanism to log off fair-play, bugged instances, invisible players, no disadvantages to play solo/group mode. No regular weapon/armour/ship balancing.
Engineering- grind, too much enginers to level, no options to buy components only collecting, another grind. Enginnered ship is not "slightly" better, its god like new ship.
For god sake, devs wrote some statement what you are planing to do and what not, what you plan to change/fix. Not only small things but fundamentaly change current game state. Still a lot of players (maybe) think they can wait for something spectacular like working and fun spacelegs, atmosfere flights. But adding ARX in full bought game, we all know where is this going.
