I get it, you want to play the game and not be landlocked on an island. So do I. It's incredibly difficult to squeeze past them or defeat them in combat. Also, are you mentally retarded? You must be if you think you can measure the time to patch based on your in game perspective. Also, there's nothing wrong with saying hey this is broke please fix it. However there is something wrong being factually incorrect "DEVS IGNORING THE PLAYER BASE AGAIN!", being an emotional child, someone lacking basic conversation skills, and the fundamentals of logic that is taught to children before their pubes grow. You must be playing on NA. Maybe use this time where the game is currently unplayable to educate yourself. Either way, back to Farming Ships of the Damned for me and mine.
