OP: take a break, play ETS2.. urmm sorry... could be the wrong advice that. Although the scenery in the game is lovely now since 1.17, I mean in ETS2. 
How about finding a system, that you can influence the faction standings and pick a side? Change the control of said system.
Arry.
is it possible to turn independent system into anarchy this way ?
Player piracy never gets boring
Looking for suggestions please!
Bounty hunting at RES's isn't doing it for me anymore.
I've got Pathfinder in exploration and don't fancy going out again until there's more 'stuff' added to see out there.
I've traded for a fair while in different ships and the appeal is gone there for me too.
Grinding my way to an Anaconda makes me shudder...
I've been ranking up but got caught a couple of times by bugged missions, so I've been holding out for PowerPlay - but now it's delayed!
So what do you CMDRs reckon? I'm not ready to retire yet!
Thanks everyone
