I recently claimed a planetary settlement as mine after saving it from a sentinel attack. It was a B class when I found it and I was able to upgrade it to A class. But how do I make it S tier? Citizen happiness is 100%, productivity is 1 million units, population is at 54 inhabitants, maintainance costs are around 100k-150k units (if that matters), no debt, I only have positive modifiers and whenever a visitor shows up with new technology or gifts I take them (without getting debt or other cons). I improved the city a lot since I first found it, paying off a huge debt, building stuff, discovering technologies and so on. What am I doing wrong? Why isn’t it S class?

So I came by a small building with a vendor and a gun bay. There was a pistol for sale or exchange. It appeared to have an optical Drill attached. The gun wasn’t better than the one I had but I wanted that add-on. I bought the weapon for 130k units but once it was in my possession it no longer had the add-on. What am I missing here?

Edit: I did a restore and got my units back and checked out the gun and it definitely has an optical drill attached as well as a Technology Supercharged Combat Scope. When I bought it before though neither of these add-ons were on the gun…only a couple add-ons that I already have on my primary weapon. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I have like 100 hours in the game (granted most of it spent on building my factories and home) and still can’t do most of those guild missions. I raided one Vykeen freighter for like 5 minutes and got more standing with outlaws than any other guild, while i try to take all the easy missions that are on the stations. I don’t even know where to check guild level tbh.

So how you grind it? Is it worth grinding?

The expected level of technology needed to traverse space and galaxies, build bases out of various resources, upgrade equipment, yet, none of my “spaceships ‘ can hover or fly backwards in any situation.

Ill never understand this.
