FDev Screws the Pooch Once Again…

So, apparently with the new update forced on us today, FDev has once again decided to fix what wasn't broken in the first place… at least, in Horizons…

– The interface for the right-hand panel is changed: the ranking display has been altered, and there is a new tab called "Storage" (whatever that's about)

– All fire groups have been completely wiped and must be reset for EACH SHIP!

– The normal scanners in use since the beginning of the game are now not able to be added to a fire group on some vessels – fire groups were complete locked on my Cobra Mk III, Dolphin, and Asp-X – I literally couldn't even navigate down the "A" fire grouping column to add anything…

Furthermore, the Community Goal is a freaking joke this week: Pick up "Classified Experimental Equipment" at the Heart of Taurus mega-ship in Qarato, then fly it WAY THE HELL OUT to one of three systems, all of which are around 400 LY away, to sell at max profit… Plus, the name doesn't even show up in Horizons on the megaship's Commodity Market – just a star beside a blank entry situated above "Computer Components".

Also, as a real kick in the nuts, you can only acquire 20 TONS AT ANY TIME! I got the 20 units, then watched an episode of a TV show to wait for the refresh, and what was there? It's freaking NOTHING! This means you make a multitude of jumps, spending a ton of time, and when you sell them, make a whole measly 1.5M Credits. Then you get to once again jump a ton of times to get back to pick up a whole 20 MORE, then have to waste even more time jumping back to make another 1.5M. Even the worst-equipped Commanders can make more money in the same time by hauling cargo or doing their own trades… All for some engineered multicannons you could acquire faster on your own…

FDev, WTF are you smoking?
