Love this game. Been playing non-stop for 2.5 months. Despite the learning curve I have done well having amassed .5B cr. But a couple of things cause so much frustration that they make me question the effort.
1. I am finally "Allied" with several factions at my home base of Dvorsi. Strangely, once I achieved that the missions dry up instead of getting more lucrative.
2. When I do get a high paying mission I fight my way through 5 interdiction, and a hundred or so jumps to find that on the final stop there is no Visitor Beacon which was the last thing I needed to complete the mission. The Transaction board never updated to the next stop or by the usual means of a message from the passenger. This surly is a bug. No one would design a game this way on purpose. I have to tell you as much as I love this game, I feel punished as a new player. Quit telling me I'll get better missions when my relationship advances to Allied and then not follow through.
3. I'm also missing many plum missions because the in not a "Luxury 5 or 6 cabin within 300 light yrs. according toe EDDB. That's ridiculous, And if just playing the game straight is this frustrating I can imaging what grinding for Empire rank would be like.
