I agree. EDGE is called "EDGE" for that reason. Its in testing only. Not everything is expected to work properly. I do like the idea of X3 it was just a bummer that it didnt work. I look forward to the official release.X3 in EDGE is very old and very far from complete. Please save your comments until it reaches one of the production builds as you'll find that everything you have commented on above has long since been addressed, and will be apparent when X3 has its official release next year.
I also understand the other persons concerns, and business is based on requests from customers and technology. Many things are bound to happen... good and bad..
