Hello everybody
Like the title says: I just can't find any fun in this game (yet). I've played it since the release yesterday around 12 hours. I know it's not a lot, but from a game I excpect even with a high learning curve at least some aspects that gives you fun. I haven't found any yet.
When I read the forums, it looks like I'm not the only person with those thoughts. People say, there's mining, military, fighting and many more. Just... where?
I started with courier missions, which gave around 5'000 credits if I was lucky. Takes around 20 to 30 min. Very boring, that's not the way I want to spend my free time. I tried trading, checked systems for goods, the map, flew to stations and wrote down the prices on a piece of paper. Highest profit in this: 500 credits in like 10 min. Then I thought: Let's see what this universe is like. Went to different "unknown" systems, explored the sun and sold this kind of data at stations in other systems. Just the same here, it's like item farming in any old MMORPG. Started to look for pirates or just ships with bounty... well, was hard at least I found one with an 8'000 bounty. Killed it and well, don't know where I can hand it in. After that, I accepted a kill mission. The target should be in one of 3 possible systems, after 3 hours I couldn't find him and docked frustrated on a station where I accepted another mission, where I should destroy 3 ships. Title is something like "Kill ships: Traders", but I just can't find any of this ship nor faction.
Whatever... I have a strong impression, that this game wants to simulate space how it is: boring. Or what the hell am I doing wrong?
