I saw this extraordinarily helpful video that illustrated all the various ways one can acquire Nanites…but despite using nearly all of these methods, it took me about 5 hours of non-stop grinding, just to get 4,500 Nanites. I had around 1,500 Nanites left( so I’m just over 6,000 Nanites.) However…it costs 8,250 Nanites just to upgrade the class of my ship(& I have 3 other ships, yet to upgrade.) So that’s roughly over 32,000 Nanites I have to come up with…which will take about 80 hours…so I’m looking at 2 solid weeks of doing nothing but grinding for Nanites….ouch.

If this update is symbolic of the 5 year anniversary and the progress the game has made since then, I think we all know more-or-less that Sean would put out an incomplete release over his cold, dead body.

Not again. Never again.

Especially given the symbolic nature of this update, turning the ship around big time, just keeping quiet and working until the update is ready for release would, I think, be the main takeaway from 2016.

It’s the most simple answer. Just has no intention of rushing out something that is not done (as opposed to waiting for some magic date or event).
