I just had an encounter in a system i’ve been lingering at for a while. Found them at the station and they had no idea, kept trying to access me like i was an NPC to inspect my ship xD

Was a nice surprise in the cold void of space anyway.

I’ve got about 70 hours in the game and feel like I’m in a rut, grinding for A/B class ships and upgrades, doing the same things over and over… running back and forth between trade posts, space station, base. It’s getting repetitive and I’m kinda not having as much fun as I did to start.

I see players on Reddit with upgraded S class ships, freighters, etc having only put 100-150 hours in the game

I know there really is no wrong way to play the game but obviously I’m not doing it right, either

Any advice to get beyond this plateau I’ve reached?
