Just had someone on the anomaly put 600 mil worth of starship parts in my inventory. & look, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the gesture, but the grind is the whole point of games like this for me. I want to progress at the intended pace. & while just deleting any items random strangers are inclined to give me works of course, it’d be more convenient to be able to stop them in the first place.

There really should be a “this person wishes to trade” prompt like there is in, you know, literally every other game with trading ever.

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?

What is the best way to make money in June 2023? Crashing economies with Cobalt is now pointless and, as far as I know, not worth the time. Sadly I can’t buy ships and then go and reclaim my old ship for free, so that’s pointless. Is it just grinding Freighters in pirate systems? Ancient bones? Salvaged Scrap? or is there something else I’m missing?
