Judging from the games performance, this looks probably better than what their dev team has.

The game was always built for "future computers", but then, that was ten years ago. They're really putting a lot of money and effort into reporting on their progress, after a few years of radio silence. But then, they have a lot of money to burn.

indeed, haven't been able to finish a mission yet due to crash after bug after crash.

  I’m running and finishing missions daily. There are bugs, yes, but it is imminently playable.

    I also do missions daily without much disruptions. As long as the servers aren't overwhelmed its fine

Have you built anything comparable? It's in alpha, making performance/presentation comments seems really out of place. If you were well-informed on the project, you would know that they intentionally put performance optimizations on the backburner, because optimizing tech they intended to replace is not a good use of time. Besides, in the last 6 months performance has drastically improved, as anyone that actually plays will tell you. I play regularly, do a variety of delivery/bounty/mining/recovery missions, explore planets/stations, have funny interactions surrounding all of that with other players, etc. Rome wasn't built in a day.

  Do I have to build something comparable to be able to comment on the performance issues I have witnessed? I don't think so. Do I have to accept all those excuses, which like those pictures of ships never run low in this company, to comment on the performance? I don't think so. They promise a lot. They don't deliver. They break things which were already working and I'm still waiting. Those are clear signs of terrible Project Management and I think, I don't have to know all those cool insiders-excuses to be able to comment on this failure. So please. Spare me your epigrams. They won't change anything about the facts.

      > I'm sure you can think of examples in your own life where something you respected was judged from a moment in time. More like 10 years in time. We've long passed "a moment" of promises and underdelivery. > I know you now have no choice but to double down in bravado because we're on the internet, but it is what it is. This is projection at its finest, considering you have to justify actual money being put into a project that has not really delivered on promises for a decade now.
