oh, forgot this one! nah, not going to happen
Activities You Couldn't be Bothered to Do Originally, But Maybe Changed Your Mind
- Thread starter Schmack
- Start date
There's no greater satisfaction than taking a great long distance explorer party out 10,000 light years to the middle of nowhere (preferably a brown dwarf system with snow ball planets) and then abandoning the mission and they jump ship in an escape pod.
- I avoided mining like the plague until I didn't. I actually like mining now. I'll do it even if the rewards are paltry, often just to stock up on mats for rearming.
- I've surfed the geysers, done the long distance SRV flights where you have to synth hull health just prior to touching down. Haven't taken an SRV into space yet though, usually play in Solo so haven't found an NPC willing to play along.
- Been to the Guardian ruins, never did the unlocks. I might one day.
- Never did the Ram Tah missions.
- Never played the BGS.
- Have done Powerplay but only for the perks, never cared about it otherwise.
- Did Ceos/Sothis passenger sightseeing runs. Did Robigo as well.
- Did the Smeaton runs (sounds like something you get for drinking too much Lavian brandy).
- Been to Hutton Orbital a few times, got the mug and the Ana-kinda.
- Got many of the permits. Visited Earth and did the screenies over my home state in a Vulture.
- Unlocked most engineers.
- Played in VR for a while.
- Owned every ship at least once. At one time I owned 7 Pythons, all outfitted differently based on my needs.
- Bought a carrier, fully outfitted. Been around the galaxy in it (some).
- Ran poop missions between two edge-of-bubble systems who only did missions with each other (so return missions always available).
- Landed on extremely high G planets.
- Got some 1st discoveries of ELWs and systems.
I eventually tried everything, except journeying to Sag A* and Colonia. I get bored easily if I grind any one activity over and over. I have to switch it up to stay interested. That's why I never got into long distance exploration, and probably never will.
I like to do long range passenger missions sometimes, but try to keep it 1000 ly or less. I actually like exploration in short bursts. It can be relaxing. I just couldn't stomach it for longer than a few days at a time. The honk, use FSS, use DSS rinse and repeat mechanics just get tedious, and I start going insane. Exploration needs more excitement to it, rather than finding the occasional phenomena... or rare planet you actually want to drive your srv around on for a bit. Hopefully Odyssey makes it more worthwhile. More discoveries and scripted events are needed out in the black, at least for me.

Colonia is actually worth visiting, it's a pretty region and excellent for sightseeing, and the engineers there are very convenient indeed (and offer additional pinned engineering recipes).
Now with FC ferries you don't even have to do the grindy commute anymore.
I like to jump in communist systems and kill every ship on sight.
