I'm inclined to chalk that particular incident up to an interaction between a bunch of unfinished systems.
A bunch of unfinished poorly planned systems.

It's always “you can do anything anywhere!”, and it will "just work", because there will be "systems in place" to make it work, it may sound great on paper, but it just doesn't really work.

Another fun example is a player that got kidnapped by a pirate, who kept him drugged for ages, preventing him to play the game.

That's the major issue of any system where it is possible to kidnap somebody, yes: The prospect of your character just remaining kidnapped indefinitely. Which is, obviously, not a particularly satisfactory gameplay experience. You have to be real careful about how you manage and design such a thing, to avoid creating a game-ending experience for the player.

I've put around $10k in this and still nothing
... so what you are saying is that you only invested 10k and feel entitled to even more than the endless meme you got? Tsk!

Shut the hell up, go back to work and buy another Idris, papa Roberts needs that yatch tech pronto!

Our initial goal was to avoid the need to wipe the database for the upcoming point patches. However, due to the current state of Alpha 3.18's database and the numerous hotfixes we've implemented since 3.18 went live (more than 50!), we have concluded that a couple of full wipes (aUEC, items, and reputation) will be necessary to further improve and stabilize the service.

:negative:
Unfortunately we have no records of your in game purchases which we consider to be investing in the development of your game. Please re-purchase any ships you wish to have at each patch point.

Pathetic. If you don't sell your car, your house and one kidney, you clearly don't want it enough. GTFO here, goddamn poseur. Don't come back until you've sold a family member into slavery, you stingy fuck.
Not sure I'm going to spend anymore unless some sick ships come out
What the fuck?!? Are you saying that not all their ships are sick enough to be worth buying?!? I bet you must be one of those who only bought one single Idris, weak, disgusting, YOU are the real reason why this isn't done yet! ... and yet you claim to be a faithful one! How dare you?!?

"Sick" is a fitting adjective for the game phenomenon known as Star Citizen, though.
