Perhaps Bethesda has been tinkering with this a bit, because this last run has been nearly bug free. Sure, there's still some minor stuff here and there, but none of the awful herpes stuff that sticks with you and wrecks shit. Never had any issues boarding/capturing ships, for example, and I boarded and captured loads of them. One thing I've done is keep my settlements really basic, which I think may have helped.

Good to hear, hows the planetary combat? That's my main will to play this game as well as gathering loot. I have no desire to fly around and dogfight in space and nothing very promising coming this year game wise.

I haven't had any issues with the planetary combat at all. Of course, I'm now nearly at level 120, so even on very hard fighting is pretty easy. The maxed out sniper skill is beastly. Also doesn't hurt that I know the layout of every location by heart. I'm like the asshole major in Heartbreak Ridge who always knows where the ambush site is.

One problem I'm having, which I guess is minor, is that I never get enemy ships randomly landing on planets, even in spots where they usually spawn more than half the time. That's been broken since the beginning of this run. Sucks, because I enjoy storming parked ships and stealing them. Oh well. Ships still spawn randomly in space like normal.

Overall it's like night and day from when the game launched last year. Clearly they've worked out most of the problems.
