Guys,im just disapointed on exchange rate,the work behind the few Moments and there is infact a reason im still playing.Dont know how people read and understand what i write,im not writing this to be destructive,and once again im trapped on pushing words.The excangerate is just some of the stuff i feel important too focus on for all of us.so we can focus on other stuff and not make grinds and materials to a main huge event in game..

guess i fall for my words,on theres a ED forum for such....

The most intriguing stuff lately brings out suff the game is hiding and i ended up watching the full length 2 hr post on Youtube on some guys struggle with ED,and makes their own story,and infact that they learn as they go,they are good but not ignorant,Including aswell.A perfect arouse,Cant say Thargoids,guardians or other stuff have made people exited like that,it looked like everybody whanted too help.
A basic sidewinder does not get any where in simliar level,where the real game reveal itself at some of its best sides,i said SOME.

Well theres a point there,where you have too leave "space-romance" and casual spacing behind,grind or be focused,thin line where the diffrence is greed too what you need and how much time can i see infront of me on  before i could be a asset.Pointless log on log off and other stupid stuff is what 90 % of us have done to get there,like another vid i watched on material,where top tip is Davs Hope and serverchange for 2 HOURS.Its just a essence of other socalled tutorials.Not skill or game Quality

im not greedy but playing up to whant the game expect if u whant too have a great ship,and its not made on romancing your way throug the stars picking up random stuff,its often left with a bitter taste when completing 1 module,not a exited moment as it should be In A GAME.

Allright,i belive im ready for the Crows,pick it appart

Enjoy

Is the game best for those who play 28 hrs a day,too be at a acceptable level



I play on average 4 hours a week, and mostly enjoy the game. I found it becomes more enjoyable when I stop comparing myself and my progress against others.

This has always been, and will always remain, my favorite photo from space.



"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

"The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

-- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

I manage around 2-3 hours each time I play and I tend to play weekdays. I have a break for a few days to play other games or whatever else takes my fancy. The balance is right for me.

You will get a varied answer from each person, because it's about striking the balance that's right for you and everyone is different.

Because there is no set path that you have to take in this game (which is the reason I love this game BTW), it's therefore up to you how grindy you make it. If hell bent on reaching a certain ship within a certain time frame, you could be encouraging a grindy experience on your gameplay.

You don't have to get the most expensive ships and outfitting to enjoy the game, you don't have to engineer your ships to death to enjoy the game. By all means set yourself goals and targets, but enjoy the game on the way to those goals.

Depending on how long you've been following this forum, there's a few of the regulars here that often say, time should be taken to enjoy the game and the experience. This I agree with. For me personally, going from A-Z in the quickest way possible, is not best way to get the most out of this game. At least for me anyway.

Offcause do i see much of this point,but compared too other games this game dont really start(atleast for me)before im on top of a few vital things,and a-z is the base for game freedom on offence,defence and economy.Maybe im close aswell.Well enough said,my point got thrown out the window on a single line there.

as for playtime i spend a huge amount on this,but depends on some RL stuff

Thnx for replys anyway,

One wise CMDR once said: "It's only a grind if you're in a hurry."
If you take your time to enjoy the details of this game, you're likely to keep playing it after months/years. If you're not in a hurry, the material trader's conversion rate should look just fine.

You'll need to be about 20,000 light seconds from Earth to replicate. The Pale Blue Dot was taken by Voyager 1 when it was roughly 6 billion kilometers from home.

Hey, no problem, got where I was going and now I'm on the way back to the Bubble via the Bubble Nebula.

All good and a lesson learned.
