Nah it's just a blob thing init.
.
That's the point I'm at. I have my Python, pretty much fitted out the way I want it. That was always my endgame ship.
.
I did the exploring thing. I'm not cut out for it. If I want pretty space pics I'll cruise the NASA or other space sites. It's the trip back that kills it for me.
.
Did the BH/RES/CZ thing in my vulture and python. After I killed enough that I could be pulled in for war crimes, I kind of lost interest. "Wow, killed another 'Conda". Hunted down people for credits. Killer for hire in the CZ zones.
.
Did a lot of trading. Won't say I hated it, but I didn't enjoy it. It was intellectually interesting, maximizing profits, minimizing jumps needed, perfecting the fast landing/take off... but not something I want to really do again. It was the fastest way to make big money. Money isn't an issue now.
.
I flat out refuse to mine.
.
Rank up ? Sounds cool, but what does it give me ? Naval ranks allowing me to buy a ship I don't want ? Pilots guild ranks that do <unknown> ???? Only thing I can see is they allow me to take missions to make more money to buy things I already have ? Access to founders world ? Cool I guess...<shrug>
.
So, what to do ? PP has no interest for me : I'm just Killing/Trading/Exploring for someone else. I tend to cruise station to station looking for stupidly profitable missions or trades. Thargoids sound cool and all.. but it's really just killing different colored/shaped ships.
.
I sometimes find myself stopping in the middle of a mission and wondering WTH am I out here ? More useless ranks ? More un-spent credits ? Another ship ( when I can only fly one ) ? Truth to tell, my playing time is starting to really drop off, and I can see a point in the next month or so when I stop logging in all together.
Engage!
To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
See attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. Watch C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
I've done most of the above, will keep doing it, and cannot wait to do the rest...

My end game is:
- BH until I'm satisfied with my ships and its loadout. Currently, I'm in a fully decked Vulture saving for a fully decked Python.
- When that milestone is achieved, I'll get involved in the galatics politics. TBH, I'm waiting for a decent independent BH power to show up.
- Powerplay until I get bored.

Precisely this ^^
I cannot understand the mentality of people rushing to the Anaconda (admittedly I've been there during Premium Beta, but that was just to try and break the game, honest!). If you are not enjoying what you are doing, don't do it. Radical, eh? The past few days I've been zooming around in a Sidewinder and an Eagle. I haven't had so much FUN in a long time. And that is the answer to your question. My end game is when it is no longer FUN. That is when I will uninstall and go do something else. Thing is, I can't see that ever happening...
Cruising around in my Cobra, just enjoying the sights.
I play other games, not going to lie, Elite gets maybe .05% of my total play time. The End.
My end game is rubbing up against your canopy while I stare into your eyes lasciviously.
Edit: Just to let you know, I was this close to putting cockpit instead of canopy, but decided not to get a warning today...

Fortunately, ED isn't an arcade game with levels. And it isn't a scripted fantasy game where the story line is handed to you. I liked played Dark Star One awhile ago. It was like ED Lite Lite except it had a scripted story line that rendered the game useless once you finished it. At the time, I wished that it was like ED is today. So, I played it once since I reached the end game. Since I like flying and doing stuff in space, and ED offers no limit on where you can go, who you can fight, or how much trouble you can get into, I see no endgame for me. As to my current goals - get a trading Anaconda, upgrade my Python to combat-ready, learn to fight with FA Off in Python, get an FDL. And after all that, if I get bored, I'll switch my role from BH/Trader to general pain-in-the-ass trouble political agitator and start taking those Kill the Trader and Kill the Authority missions to see how long I can hold onto a big bounty.

I got the ship I wanted, the Clipper, played with it for a while, and since then I haven't felt compelled to play again... I guess I need some new content now, so whatever they're announcing at gamescom, I hope it will je playable soon.
I won't colplain that the game is too short or too shallow, though, as I've already spent a lot of time on it, possibly more than any other game (I'd say anywhere between 150 and 250 hours). It took a while getting whete I am now by almost exclusively bounty hunting.

If you're thinking about it as "end-game" then you're going to be sorely disappointed, unless you plan to fly your anaconda around a bit more, then clear your save. Just need to keep finding new ways of entertaining yourself or try new things you haven't tried before. There is no end. Find new ways to challenge yourself.
