Now, i'm not exactly great at keeping up with the newest updates, but I can tell that CIG wants to make a great game... the problem is, the Current game is almost unplayable by itself. The only viable option for getting any money at all is bounty hunting, and those don't spawn right now... not to mention that the combat system is totally broken, what's with AI ships not moving, missiles not being effective, and most weapons being basically copies of each other. Cargo is... Completely unplayable. Box running is.. often glitched and really boring after a while. There is basically nothing to explore. Mining earns some cash, but it cant keep up with bounty hunting, and it also has lots of gameplay mechanics missing. I literally cannot think of another profession ATM. When, instead of pushing out newer and newer updates that only bring more bugs, does CIG plan to look back, and fix the game that they currently have, and the one they are trying to make cash out of to further development, or do they just not care? I fell that if most of the dev team stopped and worked on only fixing the game for a month or two, we would be a lot closer to bug free... EDIT: Ok, I realize this game is an Alpha, but seriously, where are we gonna get ATM? If the game is not playable, then no new players will join, and give you their cash, CIG... I just am really perplexed as to what the "open Alpha" is even supposed to demonstrate sometimes. Honestly, i feel as if the only reason we have an "open alpha" is because CIG realized that going so long without a game would make it fail... So why not give the Current Alpha some attention? Would help boost buyer numbers and the amount of time you have before your players cant take any more sh#t.
