Crap... Good to know, good to know.

Actually i'm not worried. Devs didn't acknowledge anything officially, but stuff is being fixed all the time - and truth be told crashes, CDT and performance issues imho are more important than grefing at the moment. I will start to get worried when I will see completely new features introduced way before ixing this mess with PvE. Also in other topic I saw (and i think you too) info that they are aware and thinking about the solution.

Truth be told.... Hard to say with griefing. Free port and lawless may be a bit different story than what i see in standard sectors. I wasn't in any of them (excluding brief visits) for a week or so... But living on my own claim i have to say i had peace (excluding some attempts to claim me) of mind for most of the time. As for claiming, yes, i agree, its broken like hell, but thats different story.

Of course the game is not finished. Thats in definition of early access. Any player who ever played survival game other than minecraft know that starting in "winter themed" zone is Bad Idea or a challenge run . Completely new player with no experience in the genre will have even more problems than temperature - and yes, I agree it need better communication in that regard.

Not everyone is raided and griefed in pve. Actually imho most of us is not - but with so big number of active players there is enough voices about griefers that it looks like its big problem. Maybe i'm living in bubble on my little island....? But with policy live and let live I had no problems at all and as far as i know generally people didn't have that problems too. There were some stupid turf wars like "you claimed our base we sunk your ship, etc." but usually both parties provoked one another.

Change home server to a sane free port like tropical one? Easiest solution for tundra start? Starting in tundra its like saying "i'm new and i want to play successfully on 'very hard' difficulty without knowing the game".

Here is a note: We are in early access and they are generally fixing the game. That means they want griefers to be active now, because every grief they invent can (and probably will) be fixed before full release Banning them (especially the more creative type) IMHO can be counterproductive during early access. Minus is we have to live with them for a time

I would add croc on PvE chewed nearly fully through random peoples sloop when they were asleep, trying to get to them. It had like 1000/8000 life when i killed it. Kind of not PvE style. You need to be on the 4th floor for crocs not to be able to chew you through stone wall. Or on 3rd floor from wall cause they attack ignoring it.... Collision box for them is a bit broken and AI really should ignore stuff out of line of sight at least by player made structures...

While sailing on sloop and sitting behind the wheel, on sector change, i got crashed to desktop. Change was form E9 to D9. I got always to flickers of the screen - one when sail away from sector (i call it disconect phase) and second when i connect to next sector and can resume normal play (about a second or two for both). Crash got after i got "disconnected", imho on the flicker when it connect to next and allow to play. Hope that helps, cheers.

Sorry to say, but this looks like straight out bug. 3 days from last login i can understand. But redoing flag every 3 day? In even modestly traveled location? This is bullshit, not 10 minutes but few hours + hell lot of problems.

Yeah that. Plus some "holiday friendly" system. Like I can log out and twice the year set my claim to 3 weeks safe period. Or even 2 weeks. But something that will not make me loose all the stuff when I come back form even short trips.
