At least 4.8 was playable if you spent hours googling workarounds. 4.9 is filled with mission/gameplay critical bugs that there is no way to bypass. Cargo/Mining/Salvage/Delivery missions are all unplayable. -No cargo is given to be delivered. -Anything brought down into elevators is more likely to be deleted than attributed to the player or the missions. (now neither storing ship or elevator works LOL) -Cargo grids on elevators are bricking. -Ghost ships and cargo from hangar overlap are now starting to become real, starting to block tractor beams and cargo grid placement. QV, Techsmuggler also are confirmed to be even more borked than before. Then there are things like being stuck in station elevators, ship seats, and can only fixed by shard hopping. 4.9 introduced more bugs than it actually fixed, and we are only ONE DAY into the patch.
