Flair says discussion but this is a bounty !

So I just bought a new ship, Shield of the Oharat. The ship itself is nothing special, just a class C fighter with decent cargo space. Not something I needed and definitely not worth the 15 mil units, normally. However ! This beauty just so happened to be colored all black, a favorite design of mine. The unique, sleek looking ship caught my eye immediately and I had to have it because it looked so cool. So I emptied the cargo of a spare ship of mine and traded for around 13 mil units. I was pretty happy, despite over paying, when all of a sudden, as soon as the trade was finalized, the ship loads it’s actual color and it’s baby poop green with yellow highlights ! What a rip ! So if anyone happens to come across that seedy, shady SCAMMER of a Gek called Worker Issga, I’m paying 1 mil for his head ! 😡🤬

It was a rollercoaster. I rage quit a few times after dying, some due to my own incompetency, some due to glitches. I finally found a way to easily backup my saves, but after that I only died once after being ambushed by a bunch of pirates in space.

Other than the frustration of permadeath it was really a lot of fun. The real joy to me in this game is improving things: your character, your ship, your mechs, your base, etc. When you have all of that stuff close to maxed out the game becomes boring. Prior to the expedition I would log in, collect my spoils from my frigates, fight sentinels for a bit to get Walker Brains, maybe farm some mats and then log out because there is nothing else I really wanted to do. It had become rote.

The expedition brought back the olden days when I had nothing and didn’t really know what I was doing. I look forward to the next one.
