The title may seem odd at a first glance, so let me explain.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love all the latest updates, and the new features are wonderful, and often include minor Quality-Of-Life (QOL)/Optimization updates of their own.

But I'm talking about an entire update on the same scale as the other new content updates, dedicated to just QOL updates alone. No new content persay, just improving and fixing/optimizing what we already have.

Some examples that come to my mind (I'll edit this list with more as I think of them):

• Addressing bugs that have been in the game for a long time over several updates that haven't been addressed yet. (Patchy grass rendering bugs on lush planets, Derelect Freighter teleporter issues, crashing issues with freighters, etc). Especially when it comes to quest bugs.
• Improvements to the user interface on both PC and Consoles.
• Additional options for PC players to remap hotkeys
• Rebalancing certain economic parts of the game to account for all the newest features added in over the past several content updates.
• Additional helpful features for the discoveries tab, such as a built-in search option to search and sort by name, system type, discovery date, system contents, etc.

Things like that. Things all about improving the things already in the game itself, while also creating a stronger foundation for future updates. A QOL/Optimization update would highly benefit long-term and frequent players. It's especially important so that smaller bugs don't add up over a long period of frequent content updates.

So yeah, Hello Games, if you're reading this, I'd personally love an update like this where the focus is 100% on polishing everything released so far, and addressing minor issues and minor bugs that have been around for a while now. Minor bugs like these have been adding up, and will only cause potential problems for future updates with new content, so let's (Gek)nip them in the bud, and the sooner the better. 🙂

This is just my two cents though. What do you guys think? Would you like to see a pure QOL/Optimization update like this?
