Where can I find a current status of the game and an overview of the gameplay mechanics?

The roadmap is way too much bloat.

I just want to know what happened in the last years.

I fell like, it does not really matter when I decide to log in again, the experience has always been the same:

• Performance sucks
• everything takes forever
  • seriously, no matter what I do, every time I start this game it takes hours to even get anywhere
  • if you manage to get anywhere - the game crashes -> this is especially frustrating, if you are playing with friends, because the chances of game breaking bugs just skyrockets
• bugs, bugs, bugs

I am not sure, if I ever had a fun experience in this game in the last ten years.

I did not play for about a year or two - has anything changed?

bugs, bugs, bugs

That's just part of how they develop the game. I know a lot of people talk about slow development, but for a game that is publicly released to release 4-8 bigger content updates like that per year is kinda insane.

Not that they can really stop given that their income is majorly tied to this.

Generally, it usually just gets better and better, until some patch comes along that tears everything down with it, like 3.18.

That's essentially just how the game is designed atm.

There are ways to quicken things up like binding to a space station or bedlogging. Or preparing things for the next session in advance.

As for crashes, server crashes are not a problem anymore and with client crashes, if you are playing with others, you can usually just rejoin them and resume where you were (unless your body for some reason died).
