Just went into the Anomaly for one of the first times – I only got this game recently and haven’t explored the multiplayer aspect at all, so when a player walked up in front of me I jumped up and down a few times to acknowledge them because I didn’t know how to interact. This seems to have pleased them, because they gave me 5 Fusion Ignitors, which are worth so many units that my jaw actually dropped (78 MILLION. I’ve managed to accumulate about 6 million total, including what I’ve spent on ships and 1 freighter). It was incredibly generous of them, so Theron, if you see this, you just gave a newbie a huge head start in this game. Thank you, and if there was some reciprocal action I was meant to take that I missed I apologise, and I hope you don’t feel slighted!

Why I’m asking this: I’m new to this game. Been at the station a few times and have seen a few A ships pop in that I kind of like. I’ve never bought any and am still in the OG because I always feel like a better one will pop up (better as in nicer or more powerful), or that spending money on these NPC ships is useless because the best ships are crashed on planets.

So I want to hear your thoughts on purchasing NPC ships at the station/anomaly.
