This game is in no where near release condidtion. In my opinion, it's still in it's alpha stages. The points at which you can see where they just stopped working on that part of the game are very obvious. The controls (or the lack there of) are a classic example. AI Ships super colliding into one another or the docks themselves at speed of the downfall of the quality standards UBISoft set for this game. We all know there are countless other things as well. The idea of being able to walk around the sub is a big improvement over sh3 and sh4 where you had your stations with limited manuverability and camera view. I wish I could be more positive about the game. SH3 to SH4 was a big step all around, and I had high hopes that SH5 would have been as much of an improvement to SH4. I was wrong.
I'm in 100% agreement with Faamecanic on his comments. Modding is supposed to be minor tweaking of a game. That is what made SH3 and SH4 so much fun. The modders are not supposed to be expected to fix the catostrophic failures of the game itself. Ubisoft gave us a train wreck. There is a ton of work on the development side that still needs to be done. Once they do their part, modding this game will be the way it's supposed to be. (Tweaking, not fixing disasters)
