I still don't understand FD.
They said they would 'flesh out' existing game-play but add usless and unnecessary new ships. They said they would concentrate on fixing bugs, etc and the bugs are still there - along with some new ones.
But, they find dev time to add new weapons, new engineers and pretty new Thargoid/Guardian stuff that many players, including myself,will probably never see.
I've nothing against the pew-pew crowd, each to their own but it would be nice to sort out missions and make what we already have in the game better...even if there are no store micro-transactions or financial benefits to FD connected to that material.
Personally, i was expecting little of interest from Chapter 3. At least i wasn't disappointed, from that point of view anyway.
