Hello Commanders,
Perhaps some of you will remember that my voyage out into the black was supposed to begin 14 months ago. It didn't, though I did make a trip out to see the Formidine Bases and the Zurara. I enjoyed that trip quite a bit, to be honest. It was nice to not have any of the distracting Bubble treadmills, though to be perfectly honest, none of those are really that bad if you have the time to power through them.
I still have yet to take the voyage that I have planned since not long after purchasing the game, and I'm getting a bit frustrated. My frustration has nothing to do with the game itself, per se, it's more the fact that I have this thing still undone that has been one of the primary reasons that I have continued to play the game. It seems like I'm always waiting for something, always putting it off until that next thing has happened.
Most recently, I was waiting for the T-10, and to a lesser extent, the final phases of 2.4. The T-10 turned out roughly as I had hoped, which was nice. She is now built and Engineered, and while I could get a couple more light years of jump range, I just don't feel that extra time and effort would be worth it. Honestly, if jump range was a primary consideration, I would just pull the Anaconda out of retirement. I am quite happy being somewhere in the ballpark of the point of diminishing returns on jump range, even though my T-10 is on the low end of that range.
The thread title says ship, but really, it's ships. Even though I've been waiting for the T-10, I find myself hesitating. I also have a Clipper, Cutter, DBX, and the mothballed Anaconda that I could take. I have almost every ship in the game built and Engineered to some degree or other, but the above are the only ones in contention, and of those, it's really just the two Gutamaya Girls and the T-10.
So, part of the problem is the waiting, but that's minor - I think the major setback is the continued waiting, and not doing. This mirrors a couple of things in my real life, and I have not failed to recognize that reflection. As I close out this year, with some things still undone (both in game, and in real life), I have a desire for me to have a different perspective, which hopefully leads to different (better) results.
Perhaps taking this voyage will be the catalyst that changes things in my real life, but I'm actually hoping it's the other way around.
Happy New Year, Commanders - take stock, pick a direction, and start making decisions that move you along that road.
