Calteru So in other words I'm at endgame after 2w playtime. Awesome. In other sandbox games this is where I would start building things for other players to find and maybe write a storyline to go with those things but that's not happening here. I put in an inquiry with the racers already but it seems they haven't done anything since the summer and I can understand why after having run a few racing leagues in other games myself. Without good prizes interest wanes. I'd offer microtrans stuff or IGC but neither are viable options here. I'd have loved to have hired myself out as a tour guide but taking palladium as payment is too much of a pain to make it profitable. Hell, I'd really like to just be a highwayman robbing tourists but I'd need too much cargo space to make it fun. I could do a lot if there were even simple P2P trading.

2 WEEKS?  Then I doubt you've been sightseeing (there's a lot more than you can see in 2 weeks).  Most exploration runs are longer than that too.   You've probably not flipped any big systems in that time.  You've barely scratched the surface.

Calteru  ...if there were a few standard features but there aren't so....

CalteruIt's kind of frustrating talking about this game with its superfans. A good game can have flaws and omissions. It is what it is. I could do more if there were a few standard features but there aren't so I'll do whatever until I get bored and play something else. At least there isn't a shortage of these kinds of games anymore. X4 looks like it'll be pretty good. Evochron's fun. Maybe the megaships that are supposed to be coming will be like my old Kyoto from X3. Guess I'll just keep filling in the gaps with multiple games until The Perfect Game™ comes along. Thanks for the feedback.

Clearly, the solution is to write hundreds of pages of fan fiction to fill in the gaps of what you wish the game was.

I've been to 5070 systems as of this posting and most have been very similar so I'm not sure what you're basing this on other than your own personal assumptions. Can I trade data or not?
