    Yeah, the commitment and actual role play in this game are some of the best of any games. There are groups that do security, refuels (like FuelRats), freighters, etc. You even get dedicated communities which have claimed areas of space (within the bubble) and will defend it. People role play this game like mad!


    I've actually seriously had people come over comms explaining things like, "You've entered restricted area of the Imperial Majesty, state your business!"
    At which point I replied, "just passing through"
    And they respond with, "stay calm for cargo scan and inspection, do NOT resists or deploy hard points" - they scan your cargo hold and inform you that you may be on your way.

    It's crazy cool, in my opinion.

    Thats where I'd go "I have secret information for the Rebel Alliance!" and probably get blown up...

    Holy shit! Haha, I don't know if I'm even willing to wait that long to be rescued.

    I made it back to civilized space and cashed in all my exploration data for a whopping... 785k. I wish exploration paid better. On the other hand, I was the first to discover several planets so that was nice. It just shows how much is still left to be discovered. This was less than 800Ly out of the bubble. Frontier could be hiding an entire alien civilization and we probably wouldn't know about it until someone accidentally stumbles across it. I don't believe for a second that vast universe is that empty.

    Yeah it's amazing how much has not been discovered, considering it's been out for almost 2 years now. Only like 0.14% has been discovered, it's ridiculous. But also I wish it payed out a bit more, it has been increased though with a patch. But to get the big cash-ins you need to find water, earth-like planets, black holes and of course Neutron stars. And if you're the first then double whammy.

    I think i figured out WTF is going on with combat. went so a LOW Combat Zone and everybody was LAWLESS and ranked MASTER/DEADLY/EXPERT. Needless to say, got ass whipped.

    turns out, if system is in state of ANARCHY then combat zones don't have wanted, they have as above. Having said that, when i eventually killed a proper MISSION target, the game bugged out and refused to give me reward at the Station

    You can only go down onto and land on planets with Horizons right?
