I think he means that Fdev do a pretty good job when you consider the complexity and fidelity of the game vs the team size and budget. Compare that to what other dev teams pull off with simpler systems, more cash and licensed technology, Fdev are a marvel.
Or am I misinterpreting?
Talking as a car mechanic of 23 yrs, with some of that working at car dealerships. Do you think that cars are released without problems? And that none of those problems are discovered after the vehicle's gone 'live'? (where multi 1000s of people use them in widely varying scenarios). Answers incase you hadn't guessed, are no & no. And I can tell you with certainty that sometimes, maybe only occasionally, that some problems on cars can take weeks or longer to rectify!
In both industries theirs a limit to inhouse testing & development, along with deadlines, of course sometimes in both industries they cut that way too short & cause excessive problems!
Is that the case with ED 3.3? I don't know, how does the amount of bugs compare to other big ED releases? Or other games? What is your source of info to say that this release is so much worse than others (which you implied).
Anyway, I agree with your last sentence, which is why I did some beta testing & post bug threads.
[edit] Anyway, we're going off topic here![]()
Maybe there should be an intermediate state before Incursion just to give us a tip that the system in under threat. Ive been looking for systems under Incursion since the lauch, and if it wasn't for this forum thread I would never had guessed what is going on.
There is, it's called "Infestation". There's just no galmap filter for that state, yet.
Another bug...
At least I can fight Interceptors liestening to ME 2 sidetrack do make my day!
So whats the update on where to find Thargoids, or can they be found anywhere now?

Yea mid December is a far from ideal release time!
What does your Mech eng job involve? (At school I wanted to be an electrical engineer, but went into Agricultural engineering instead! Did it for a few years after college & got fed up with it, & then went to cars. Wished I'd stuck with my 1st idea....).
Happy bug Hunting!
So is the Incursion state broken? I thought 63 G. Capricorni was lost.
AX CZ in Electra, not confirmed elsewhere
In addition to the usual rescue megaship, there's a new dockable megaship in Electra called Liberator UQ37, controlled by the also-new Aegis Defense faction.
Where do you guys get that information, the system is infected? I cant seem to find it...
