Excuse my naivety but when an add-on is released in my mind it works as a bolt on to existing code that is working. Why does something like the "Powerplay" update cause so many issues with existing code ? It seems as though there are some much larger changes going on that were not thought of prior to release hence the existing code is having to be re-written in quite significant ways to accommodate. Am I close ?
Why does an "add on" break so many things in game that was for the most part working ?
- Thread starter stevesideas
- Start date
Power Play plugs into pretty much every aspect of the game from the background simulation through the missions system via multiple trades and ranks.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but you don't seem to have a lot of experience in software development. You don't have to rewrite code in order to make new bugs appear
New code interacting with existing stuff in new and unexpected ways does that too!Though.. we don't know how much frontier rewrote or reworked. They may have dug too deep!
