The Thargoid war seemed pretty exciting. I did some ground-based ship battles and was decent at it, but I couldn't commit the time for a space battle, for a titan battle, or for a foot battle. I can't say I want to walk around my ship, but I'd take it if it meant a more realistic transition between ship and foot, though. I still pop in for quick pirate hunting at nav beacons. I'm always getting fomo about the latest credit farms but have given up on owning a carrier. I appreciate the bio exploration as an expansion on long distance exploration since the payout is comparable to casual combat, at least.

But yeah, ultimately, it's a fairly empty game. Lots of space, little variation. Obviously I enjoyed it enough to put 1000 hours into. No regrets there. But I was very into the lore and community stuff so it was as much roleplay as it was gameplay

I basically dropped it once they stopped doing regular community goals. Those were fun since you ran into a lot of people. One of my best memories of the game is getting to a random small station in a CG and needing to wait in the surprisingly orderly line of ships and BSing for 30 minutes. How mundane sitting in line was while being in a damn space ship lol.
